The Words and Works of Laura

This is kind of personal, but I'm ok with sharing it on my blog.
I've recently discovered some of the power that the scriptures hold.
For about a year, I've had some very disturbing and uncomforting dreams. Not anything I really want to go into detail in, but they were really bothersome. I would pray and pray and ask to have these dreams taken away, to have the help in changing the dreams so that the horrible things wouldn't happen, and I just felt like I wasn't doing enough.
Now, before now, I've never been really good about reading my scriptures every day. I wouldn't never read them, I just wouldn't do it very consistently. After having it seem like I was getting about 5 messages a day telling me it's important to read the scriptures daily, during a prayer it finally clicked... go downstairs, get them, and start reading!! I didn't realize a change until a few days ago, I just went straight to sleep the moment I lay down. For 2 nights in a row I did this, and the disturbing dreams came right back. As soon as I picked them back up again, the dreams went away.
I think this really is a test of my faith and diligence. I'm not only learning from the scriptures what they have written, but how they can have an impact on my life 24-7.
