Scripture Mastery #5: Let It Go

Here's a new scripture reference that I came up with. Have you ever seen the movie Frozen? If you have then that's great, because I found a good scripture reference to that. It'son Mosiah 10: 12-18. Even if you read it, it may not make sense at first, but if you think about watching Elsa in Frozen and reading the reference, you'll find out that it does make sense.

Even though I've used the title for Let It Go, you may think it may say that in the scriptures, but I couldn't another scripture reference that says "Let It Go" in it.

Here's the reference that I'm putting on here. I hope that you understand it better and think that you can find movies that are related to the scriptures.

                                                           Mosiah 10: 12-18

"12. They were a wild, and ferocious, and a blood-thirsty people, believing in the tradition of their fathers, which is this—Believing that they were driven out of the land of Jerusalem because of the iniquities of their fathers, and that they were wronged in the wilderness by their brethren, and they were also wronged while crossing the sea;

 13 And again, that they were wronged while in the land of their first inheritance, after they had crossed the sea, and all this because that Nephi was more faithful in keeping the commandments of the Lord—therefore he was favored of the Lord, for the Lord heard his prayers and answered them, and he took the lead of their journey in the wilderness.

 14 And his brethren were wroth with him because they understood not the dealings of the Lord; they were also wroth with him upon the waters because they hardened their hearts against the Lord.

 15 And again, they were wroth with him when they had arrived in the promised land, because they said that he had taken the ruling of the people out of their hands; and they sought to kill him.

 16 And again, they were wroth with him because he departed into the wilderness as the Lord had commanded him, and took the records which were engraven on the plates of brass, for they said that he robbed them.

 17 And thus they have taught their children that they should hate them, and that they should murder them, and that they should rob and plunder them, and do all they could to destroy them; therefore they have an eternal hatred towards the children of Nephi.

 18 For this very cause has king Laman, by his cunning, and lying craftiness, and his fair promises, deceived me, that I have brought this my people up into this land, that they may destroy them; yea, and we have suffered these many years in the land."

If you think about it, The Children of Nephi is like the people of Arendelle and that King Laman is like Prince Hans. It does make sense if you have critical thinking skills. If you understand it, then that makes it sound like you know what it's teaching you from the movie to the scriptures. 

Scripture Mastery #4: No Tobacco!

Here's the fourth Scripture Mastery of the day. No Tobacco! Some of you may be addicted to tobacco, but here's a scripture mastery that would help you stay safe from them. I used this picture from a movie called The Sandlot as an example. I hope you understand it.

                                                   Doctrine and Covenants 89: 8


"And again, tobacco is not for the body, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill."

To my opinion, I think it's inspiring, because it helps me to have a healthy life by staying away from tobacco and other drugs. I'm not much of a alcohol or drug person, because those items are very cruddy and dangerous to my personality. I hope it helps you all too.

Scripture Mastery 3: Some People are Worth Melting For

Here's one where I thought about Olaf the Snowman from Frozen. I found a good scripture mastery in 2 Nephi 23: 7. I think it's a great example that Olaf had said in the movie. "Some people are worth melting for."

                                                                  2 Nephi 23: 7

                           "Therefore shall all hands be faint; every man's heart shall melt."

It may not make sense to you at first, but I think it's a good scripture mastery that relates to Olaf, the snowman. "Every man's heart shall melt," is a good inspiration for Olaf's quote. I'm sure that is worth something, like a lifetime. Our hearts will melt with happiness. That's why some people are worth melting for. It's worth melting for happiness and love.

Scripture Mastery 2: Bethany Hamilton having Faith

I thought about this scripture mastery from one movie called Soul Surfer, the true story of Bethany Hamilton. One of my brothers doesn't think Bethany Hamilton is said in the scripture mastery, but I just used her as an example of having faith. If you read the scripture mastery, it'll make sense of what you think of it.

                                                               Ether 12: 6


"And now, I, Moroni, would speak somewhat concerning these things; I would show unto the world that faith is things which are hoped for and not seen; wherefore, dispute not because ye see not, for ye receive no witness until after the trial of your faith."

Scripture Mastery 1: Remember Who You Are

Here's the first scripture mastery that I came up with that I hope it all makes sense to any of you.

                                                       Helaman 5: 12


"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall."

That scripture mastery reminds me a lot about how we should always remember who we are and that we shouldn't always feel miserable about our troubled pasts and overcome the future, just like Simba did in The Lion King.

Scripture Mastery Plan

I know I haven't been blogging for a while because I've been busy with school and my mission. I was thinking of a missionary plan that I came up in my. I was thinking everyday, I should make a blogpost of scripture mastery pictures. If you're LDS and are interested in seeing them, then that it'll be awesome! Right now I'm just reminding you of what I'm planning to do. Starting tomorrow I'll give you the first scripture mastery. It'll show a picture that may be something that you would've seen before or not. If you read the scripture that I put underneath the picture, and look at it at the same time, it'll make sense of what that has to do with the picture and how the scriptures can make sense. I promise you I'll give you the first scripture mastery tomorrow and you'll read what it says and it'll make sense. Love you all!

Descriptive Paragraph

I wasn't quite sure if it was okay to put on my blog, because some people have been telling me that there may be someone online that can plagiarize people's ideas. I just wanted to share a descriptive paragraph with this amazing thing I did for one writing class and this picture I drew in pain. I hope that you enjoy it.

I was skimming along on a rusty old-fashioned rowboat with two of my best buddies. We then encountered five multicolored babes reclining on huge boulders staring at us. Their long rainbow-colored hair, curled softly around their perfectly shaped shoulders. My two buddies panting like dogs, stared at the young ladies. As our tug drifted closer, the ladies glitched like a virus and bared their perfectly polished nails into terrible claws. I gasped when I discovered my buddies were entranced. I tried to calm my rapidly beating heart. We desperately paddled away from the sirens,  squeezing our eyes to avoid their terrible image.
