I Will Go I Will Do!

As I sat in primary today and we sang Nephi's Courage, I thought of our commitment to Personal Preparedness.  The Lord has asked us to be prepared with a few basic things.  An emergency supply of food/water/money (72 hour kit), a 3-month supply of food, and then a longer food storage to ideally last for a year.  So when you get frustrated (as I have in the past) think of these words:

                                   I will go, I will do, the things the Lord commands.

                                   I know the Lord provides a way he wants me to obey.

                          

We have been promised that if we do our very best, we will be blessed for our efforts.  Some of us do not have the storage space that is required for a year supply of food.  The Lord has said, do what you can!  If you can't do a year, do 3 months. If you can't do 3 months, do 1 month.  Start small! Don't go into debt for it, but make sacrifices.  Eat out one less day a month and put that money towards food storage. 

I know that we will be blessed as we turn to the Lord and do what he has asked us to do!
