Choice 2 - BEING A DISCIPLE OF CHIRST
Luke 10:38-42 11:1-13, 12:13-40, 13:23-24, 14:16-33
1. -serving others, centered around Christ, willing to learn, giving, selfless, full of faith, prepared for Christ's return, constantly striving to return to God's presence, loving of everyone, planning and thoughtful
The Savior knew following him would not be easy for the disciples, but just as we are taught in nursing... you have to weigh the risks vs. the benefits or choices, and in following Christ the risks you have to suffer don't even compare to the benefits you will recieve.
2. I would like to apply the attribute of "centered around Chirst" more to my life. I got this principle from the story of Mary and Martha, because Mary really stops her life when Christ comes around to learn from and listen to him. I could apply this by being more thoughtful of Christ throughout my day. I tend to get caught-up in the business of the day I don't think of Him too much throughout the day. I know that this could make a huge difference in my life, this are very different when you include Christ in everything you do.
3. In order for someone to ultimately be a disciple of Jesus Christ they must forsake all that he has, offer their whole soul, fast and pray continually, endure to the end, give all we have to our Father in Heaven, follow the prophets, giving up all other things for the Gospel

Week 3 Unit 2
Week 3: Unit 2 Student Choice Activity #3
1. Matt 18:3-4 & D&C 78:17-18
I really enjoyed these verses because after I graduate in December I plan on working as a Pediatric nurse. Children have always amazed me with this honesty, innocence, constant faith, ability to love and forgive others, and humility. I really loved the D&C verses when they say "ye cannot bear all things now; nevertheless, be of good cheer, for I will lead you along." We are like little children because we cannot comprehend just how much the Lord has in store for us, his children, but He advises us to be happy because we cannot handle all the blessings and his entire plan for us at this time. We need to be happy and have faith it will all work out throughout our lives and eternity
2. Mosiah 3:19
We are to become like little children by being:
Submissive
Meek
Humble
Patient
Full of Love
and Willing to submit to all things with the Lord seeth fir to inflict upon us

Week 3: Unit 1 Student Choice Activity
Choice 3: Matther 14:22-23 Walking on the Sea
1. The first reaction of the disciples when they saw him walking on water was them crying out in fear and saying that "It was a spirit". The scriptures say that they were "troubled".
2. In my opinion, Peter's reaction displayed a lack of faith... it seemed as if he was almost testing the Lord when he said "Lord, if it be thou" which to me shows he didn't have faith to believe it really was the Lord when He told him who He was.
3. According to the scriptures, Peter began to sink because he focused on the storm and not on the Lord... his faith waivered for the slightest moment which caused him to fall.
4. The scriptures say "beginning to sink to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me." The word "immediately" describes how quickly the Lord responded. This made me think that the Lord is constantly waiting for us to ask Him for help, and as soon as we humble ourselves to ask Him he will help us. He will never allow us to sink if we are willing to ask him for help.
5. The phrase "eye be single to my glory" (also in verse 68 the phrase "your minds become single to God") relates to the story of Peter and Christ walking on water because that was the only way Peter was able to accomplish this task. When he looked away from Christ and focused on the potential problems that would prevent him from accomplishing his goal he started to sink. Likewise, if we choose to focus on all the reasons that would stop us from reaching our goals in this life, or even our eternal goals, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and begin to sink in our own worried and doubts. However, when we have continual faith in the Lord, Jesus Christ, and his ability to help us through anything we are able to focus on the reason we can do it and our faith can sustain us in this life and the next to be able to accomplish all that we set out to do that is alligned with the Lord's will.
