Day 34.

It's one of those Thursdays that are filled with exhaustion and mind dysfunction. Today and yesterday I've been very adamant about getting a certain Statistics homework assignment done. Yesterday I pulled it up on my computer to begin calculating (I feel good using this word.) and I pulled up a pretty confusing graph asking to do some functions I've never seen before. Keep in mind while reading this that I haven't taken official math since my Sophomore year of high schpp; and I am now in my Sophomore year of college.. it's been awhile. You could imagine my confusion at the problems I was given. As I'm struggling through the problems I'm doing I can't help but wonder to myself "when did I miss this in class?? I never fell asleep!" I worked on two problems for over 2 hours! And I still had a lot more to do! Exasperated, I decided to work on the other two units that I had yet to complete. As I went to click into the other unit I noticed the dates under the three assignments I had yet to complete.. These assignments aren't due until NEXT week. No wonder I didn't understand. I had already completed what I needed to for tomorrow's class.
How does this relate to the Gospel? We can be so caught up in trying to read the Gospel and understand everything and do so much for our Heavenly Father that we don't stop and see where we are. I tried to finish this assignment without looking to see when it was due or when my professor wanted it done. Heavenly Father doesn't expect us to finish all of our assignments at once. We need time to learn and grow. We don't come into the world knowing everything there is to know about the Gospel. We progressively learn if we're dilligent enough to seek and indulge. I still have more statistics to learn before I can finish my next stats assignment and if I'm dilligent enough in my studies I will retain the information. Take time to read, and re-read and pray about what we learn from Heavenly Father and put it to practice before you continue to learn! Let's get an A in life (I'm so corny.)!

I know that Heavenly Father wants us to seek his word and His truth. I know we can know God if we're dilligent! I pray that you are dilligent in seeking the truth!

I say all these things in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
