Like I said, Thursday was my birthday, so after class I booked it out of there to get on with the festivities of the night. On Friday night I went to read my scriptures like always and couldn't find them anywhere. I went all weekend without them. I mean I had other copies of the scriptures I could read but I actually felt lost and so empty without MY scriptures. I know them and they are part of my identity, they have a part of me inside them. It is amazing how we can become attached to the media, for religious or secular reasons alike. We are so dependent on it and make it personalized to ourselves.
Luckily I headed to the lost and found yesterday and there it was! I can't tell you how relieved I was. In this particular way the media has definitely changed my life.
I'm glad you found your scriptures! It's neat how our scriptures, journals, or other spiritual media in our life can become so important to us and how we can become so attached to it. It just goes to show how much of an influence media can have on our life, for good or bad. Hopefully good :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing your sweet testimony! And I totally understand having "my" scriptures. I'm still attached to my scriptures I got when I was baptized and when I turned 12. I haven't quite bonded with my mission scriptures like I did with my other two. I just loving feeling my Father's love and my testimony rekindled every time I read them :) (And Happy Birthday!!!)
