I would offer you some really good safe advice however I know far to little about you or your situation. But I can say set your goals make a plan and make it happen to change what needs to be changed. Sometimes it is just a good dose of patience that you need. Maybe tomorrow you will feel better and have a different perspective. Look to your Heavenly Father and His Son they will bring you the peace you need in ALL circumstances. Include them in your plans for the future and let them be your guide.

Welcome!

Thanks everyone for your replies. I will do the google search and see what I find on believing blood. I am wondering if this is one of those traditions that some people grab onto, like maybe someone heard it in a talk or fireside or whatever and may hold some truth to it, but is not really taught in the scriptures or by prophets other than people drawing conclusions from things they have heard. My impression was that some of the folks in the class did not agree with the comments but not sure enough like myself to correct it. In fact I am still not that sure but and will keep my ears open on this topic.

Hi Kristy and welcome.

Thanks so much for the welcome.

I think both 2 and 3. The only time I really remember this being said is in the temple recommend interview in regards to wearing the garment. To me it means that there can be different answers for different situations and a person should look for heavenly direction and inspiration to make sure they are doing the Lords will rather than their own.

In Sunday school today it was said that people of the lineage of ephraim have the blessing to be able to discern the truthfulness of the gospel better than people from any of the other tribes. I have never heard this before. Is this really church doctrine and if so can anyone provide sources? I have searched and have come up empty so far. Thanks!

Dq flame thrower is very good.
