Sisterhood Fireside

For those of you that missed the sisterhood fireside this past week, you REALLY missed out.  It was spectacular! By far one of the best firesides that I have ever been to.  Since most of you were not able to make it here is a short recap of what Emily Freeman spoke about.

We all need to draw closer to Christ.  We must do so in all holiness and we cannot keep anything back. As we go through the steps that Sister Freeman has given us, we will be able to grow closer to our Father in Heaven.  There are a few key items you need to remember as you come closer to Christ.
  1. Remember the special experiences of our life - as we take the time to reflect on the special experiences in our life we will be able to learn from them and grow
  2. Recognize the workings of the spirit - the workings of the spirit may be small but they will be life changing
  3. Work on your prayers - if you have not recieved an answer to your prayers in the last couple of days you need to fix the way you are saying your prayers
  4. Pray everyday for blessings - blessings are granted but many are conditional, meaning you have to ask Heavenly Father for them through prayer. Don't be afraid to seek blessings, He is always willing to give.
  5. Have Faith - "Having faith in the Lord means having faith in the Lord's timing" - Neal A Maxwell
Sister Freeman presented us with a challenge.  In the next 21 days she would like us to grow closer to the Lord.  She believes that we can do it, I believe that we can do it, and Heavenly Father believes that we can do it.  As sisters in Epsilon let's grow closer to Christ and help one another on the journey.
