Almost Finished with Step 9

By N

Today is Day 81 of 82 for working on my Step 9 work – Making Amends. Why is this such a big deal? To me, it’s a big deal because when I was working on recovery last time, I stopped in the middle of Step 9, either due to fear, due to pride, or due […]

Is Something Off With Me Today?

By N

I just finished my step work and sent it to my sponsor. That felt good. I wrote out a few letters to people that are close to me: Caleb, Madi, and Mandy. Here are those letters: Dear Caleb, First off, I love you so much and am proud of the young man you are becoming. […]

How to Make Restitution in Step 9

By N

Day 64 – Step Work RESTITUTION AND RECONCILIATION KEY PRINCIPLE: Wherever possible, make direct restitution to all persons you have harmed. As we moved on to step 9, we were ready to seek forgiveness. Like the repentant sons of Mosiah who went about “zealously striving to repair all the injuries which they had done” (Mosiah […]

How Can I Have the Best Christmas Spirit

By N

I studied about this yesterday but didn’t get a chance to write it all down. Becky and I talked yesterday about making sure we focus on what’s most important during the Christmas season – serving others. I shared this story that I’d found in my lesson for yesterday. A few days before Christmas, when Rob […]

Focus and Priorities

By N

Today I’m going to study about “Focus and Priorities” by Elder Dallin H. Oaks. I feel this is a fitting topic for a couple reasons: I always need a reminder about the importance of doing first things first I have a lot of important things to do today and need to make sure I do […]

More Progresss with Step 9

By N

Yesterday was a GREAT day for Step 9 progress. I called and talked to Jenny B. – one of the people I was probably most nervous to talk with. Our conversation was pretty good – we chatted for a bit about work and then I apologized. She was very appreciative and said she had had […]

Step 9 Progress!

By N

Well, I took a step in the dark today and sent two emails to people I know I need to make amends with. I sent them emails requesting their phone numbers so I could talk with them on the phone. I’m sure, to both of them, it’s going to seem a bit awkward to get […]

Overcoming Lustful Desires

By N

Today I’m going to study about overcoming lustful desires. Not only do I feel this is a core issue that I need to overcome, but I’ve been having difficulties lately with just “browsing” Facebook, looking at pictures of girls with no more than the intent to lust… I haven’t looked at pornography, but I feel […]

Back from Thanksgiving!

By N

We made it back safely after about 5 hours on the road today! I-84 was closed due to snow and wind conditions so we had to go the Pocatello route. From Rupert to Pocatello was pretty bad but then it really cleared up and things went smooth the rest of the way. We did see […]

More In Depth about Jonah

By N

As I said yesterday, I want to study a little bit each day this week about Jonah and the objective of our primary lesson for this coming Sunday. The objective is: To help each child understand that Heavenly Father forgives all who truly repent. I’ve said this 100 times too, but I feel it’s so […]
