I got bullied once in my life

This a second one in a row cant you believe that and I'm going talk about when I was out in Rigby where I use to live and everyone knows if they do. But I had a friend that use to bully me around and what happened was that I tolled him I had a uncle named Spencer and this kid was named Spencer also then one day he got one of his friends with him and started to bully and calling me names and saying there is only two Spencers in the world and so on... And on a day at school i went and said "here is some money for your birthday," and he took it and bought playing cards and he called me saying thank you for giving me the money.  And he was my friend and his friend was my friend also and we became best friends at school and I never got bullied again after that.

Staying STRONG

       well Ethan here i had a Say Go Be Do last week to go speak to my dad about a agreement we had made and it was to stay off the milk and eggs until Friday, Saturday, Sunday and parties and I'm trying to stay  strong this week and the next week and following week so I sayed it, went to do it, be'ed like it, and done the whole thing for two weeks and I'm still going to do this for how many times.

This week as I was studying economics for my class a thought came to me that applies to Say Go Be Do. Just like our legal system abides by the rule of 'Innocent Until Proven Guilty' any service you think of doing should be judged by 'Do Unless Proven Bad'. The great thing about having the spirit is that you can safely assume that anything you feel honestly prompted to do is safe. This week I have tried to live by this rule. All of the Say Go Be Do's that I have recognized have been small. Just little promptings about good ways to help my siblings, or my mother--but I have seen the difference in the mod of people around me and myself, and I know that Say Go Be Do's are still worth acting on when they are small.

Last weeks attempted post

Sorry guys, I am not familiar with how blog spot works so I accidentally published my last submission as a comment on Sister Gardeners original one. This is just last weeks submission. I will be publishing another one later this week.

This last week has been an interesting one. I have been almost completely caught up in my studies as I prepare for finals, so I have not received many Say Go Be Do's. Half way through the week I decided that what I originally thought was just harmlessly not acting on what I wasn't receiving was really not living up to the part of the Say Go Be Do challenge that requires concentration. I knew I had to keep up with my studies, but I also knew that I needed to keep my commitment to you guys. So a couple days ago I said a special prayer with during my scripture study asking Heavenly Father to help me listen to the spirit. I went through my day just like I had gone through the days before it and nothing seemed to be happening. In the evening I started to be stressed. I got the prompting that I needed to do something with my little cousin who is staying with us this week. I acted on it, and it was a wonderful experience. I had a ton of fun and was able to relax, and by his reaction to the whole thing I would say he enjoyed it too. I've learned that sometimes you can't just wait to receive promptings, sometimes in order to receive them you have to actually be looking. But either way if they just come or if you have to stretch to notice them the results of following the spirit are still wonderful!

Ethan French

Hey guys, Ethan here i didn't this right last week apparently and i 'm hoping this is right so i'm excited to do this so here i go with it. my SAY GO BE DO was when i was in school I heard a small voice saying "ask my friend to church," and so i went and asked him if he wants to go to church one Sunday.
On one Sunday we picked him up form his house and went to church that morning during church i was being reverent so he would be the same as me. and did the right thing what Heavenly Father wants me to do.  

I learned about Fractals in my Lemi Call yesterday.  So cool.... wanted to share with all of you.  It does relate to SayGoBeDos.

Fractals - The Math of Nature

Nature, so fascinating and inspiring.

Nature not only fills our eyes and minds with beauty and wonder, it also has the gift to grant the seemingly impossible to us.

Nature has an almost defiant way of appearing to "break the rules" when it desires to keep us in it's inexplicable grasp. For example the tornado that touches the earth in one spot, lifts up and travels to another spot to descend again leaving it's devastating and destructive impression on man. Or the face of a rock on a mountain, a carved masterpiece with the only tools being bits of dirt, soil and the wind.

Nature cleverly breaks "the rules" exposing a mystery by illustrating fractals in countless displays of fascination and awe. 

The word "fractal" literally translates from the latin verb "frangere" meaning to break or fragment .
A snowflake is an ever repeating fractal in nature. An enchanting unique display of wonder each and every time it descends to Earth.
A fractal often consists of a pattern that appears more complex as it enlarges. The patterns produced are elaborate and intricate yet at the same time simplistic.
While mathematical fractals are extremely precise so much so some would agree, boring in their predictability.
Fractals in nature are unpredictable in their distinguishing details while following a recurring path or pattern.
Fractals in Nature are Complexity Simplified.
All of the above and lots more pictures is on the website link below:  CHECK IT OUT!

Also, just google "fractals in nature" or "fractals in the human body" and see what amazing things there are to see!

SO HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO SAYGOBEDOS?
REMEMBER IN THE SCRIPTURES HOW IT SAYS THAT ALL THINGS DENOTE THAT THERE IS A GOD?  I TAKE THAT AS BEING ALL THINGS IN NATURE.  WELL, PATTERNS IN NATURE CAN TEACH US ALOT. 
THE POWER OF REPEATING SIMPLE LITTLE HABITS IN OUR LIVES IS HUGE.  A wonderful  PATTERN OF BEAUTY EMERGES in our lives AS WE DO THE RIGHT THINGS OVER AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN. MAKE A BEAUTIFUL FRACTUAL OF YOUR LIFE!!!!!!!!

Hello Fellow SayGoBeDo Bloggers,
This challenge is proving to be quite revealing about myself!  I'm not super clear yet on what is actually going on within myself but these are some observations:
I go into auto-pilot mode ALOT!  I forget to specifically pray for SayGoBeDos.  It doesn't seem like I really have any but then at the same time, I do follow through on my thoughts to do things for people but then I don't really consider them to be SayGoBeDos.  Hmmmmmm...........   CLARITY,   that's what I really want to have!!!!!!!  To really know when I am following the Spirit!  Is it my mind or is it the Spirit telling me these things?
It seems that if you are really living in the "SayGoBeDo" mode, you would be feeling really great ALL of the time!  And so far,  I haven't changed much from my regular self. I'm either living a really mediocre life or I do SayGoBeDos alot without being that aware.  So my challenge is to become more self aware.   I want to have an amazing experience with this challenge but I think it's going to take me digging deeper and FOCUSING more deliberately on this challenge.
Today our family followed through on thoughts that I had to visit a couple of people in the ward.  One, our home teacher, is a shut in - never goes to church or home teaches us, so we are going to him to get "home-taught". It would have been so easy to put it off until next week or the week after but we JUST DID IT on our way home from church and it felt really good.  Brother Wise seemed really happy for the visit.  He's really lonely and misses his wife who passed away 5 years ago.  Hopefully we can get him coming back to church.   The other was a visit to some new move-ins in our ward that have two boys who are old enough to go on our Stake Pioneer Trek. We just met the oldest boy and he was so nice and seemed interested.  It felt good to put ourselves out of our comfort zone (literally - because the wind was really blowing and it was FREEZING outside) instead of just going home after church and crashing.  That little bit of extra effort made me feel better and I hope will help that family eventually.  Maybe in our efforts to do the BIG things, we overlook really simple ways that we can make a difference.  It does take extra effort though - even for the small things.
It's so easy to just go along living our lives and not connecting with those around us but it can make such a difference to them - and to us.  I've been thinking alot since we started this blog how often I go to the grocery store and don't even look at people let alone talk to them.  That is such a a shame! I'm remembering the article by CS Lewis called "Weight of Glory".  Something that he says in there really strikes me:

"The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbour’s glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal."  

One of my SayGoBeDo's is to learn how to truly honor individual humans - especially my family members.  To treat them with "awe" when in their presence.  So, off I go to another week of striving to do better.  Looking forward to hearing everyone else's experiences!

Outcome

so about my previous post the outcome was cool, so my friend is actually a member of the church but has been inactive for a long time so I was able encourage him to go back to church and I am going to ask him about coming to seminary, he seemed really responsive to my questions so I am really exited!!!

hello everyone! so I had a saygobedo yesterday during general conference to talk to one of my friends on the track team about the church so tonight I am going to ask him some questions and give him a book of mormon! this is the first prompting like this that I have ever had, so it was really cool.

Thank you for letting me in!

I am Lori's little sister.  She came for a visit last weekend and let me borrow her Say Go Be Do book.  I hurried really fast to get it read. Lori said I could join your group.  Thank you for that.
I have always loved the scripture that says "By small and simple things, great things come to pass."  I have referred to those words many times over the last several years in an effort to decipher what those small and simple things are that will bring the greatest results.  There is just so much to be done it can feel very overwhelming at times, and yet how comforting it is to know that so much can be eliminated as non-essential.  SayGoBeDo is not a new concept for any of us.  This 30 days is a great opportunity to renew my commitment to seeking the constant companionship of the Holy Ghost and to following the promptings that come.  When I follow, my days are still full, but so much more satisfying.  It is such a privilege to be an instrument in the Lords hands.  Rarely are the things I feel moved to do big things.  Yesterday I set out to listen, and asked to be guided in my morning prayer.  I felt I should go on a longer run.  It seemed odd and I questioned the thought as it just involved me.  I decided to set out anyway.  On my way home I saw someone walking down our driveway.  We have been praying for opportunities to share the gospel with our neighbors, so I headed straight for her, expecting it to be my neighbor.  It turned out to be an elderly lady from around the corner.  I introduced myself to her, and we had a wonderful conversation.  She and her husband moved here two years ago (not to long after we moved in), and though she said she has been walking our road regularly, I have never once seen her in these two years.  Had I not gone on a longer run I would have missed her!  She expressed how lonely they have been since coming here as they know so few people.  It is just such a wonderful thing to have met her!  Her name is Mickey Goodro, and she taught college math for 30 years! So cool...  I look forward to having her and her husband come for FHE so we can get to know them better.  Not an earth shaker, but a really important connection was made.  Like Lori mentioned, my challenge will be to refrain from going into auto-pilot mode.  Everyday is an adventure!  I am excited to hear all of your comments and experiences!  Just wish I knew you all!  Happy SayGoBeDoing!

Boy, this is going to be a challenge!  Just getting on the Blog everyday will be a stretch but I am committed to do this!  I have had several thoughts over the last few days:

At first, I felt that I wasn't getting very many SayGoBeDo's but then after a couple of days I realized that I get thoughts all of the time.  They are such a part of my day that I don't even realize I have them.  They are really small, seemingly insignificant things and I want to clear up the static in my brain so I can be more spiritually aware of them being there.  I've also noticed that it's hard to discern some of my possible SayGoBeDo thoughts with what I want - especially for other people - like my children.  I am praying to be able to discern that and NOT act on every thought I have right away but write it down and think about it first to sort out my motive.  I'm still trying to weed out some co-dependent behaviors and I want to make sure that my SayGoBeDo's are for sure what the Spirit is asking me to do. 

I've become more spiritually aware of my connection with my Heavenly Father.  I'm noticing that I need to spend more time in prayer, scripture study and pondering.  I operate in "auto-pilot" much of the time and I want to be more deliberate in the way I live my life. 

One of my most significant SayGoBeDo's was the feeling to spend at least 2 hours one-on-one time with one of my children every day no matter what.  I did that yesterday and it has already paid off with that child seeming more content and happy.  That feels really good.  It will take real focus to continue carrying this one out as I daily have to weed out the non-essentials in order to fit that time in with my child. 

So here we are on Day 3.  LET'S STAY COMMITTED!!!

Looking forward to hearing about everybody's experiences. 

Welcome one and all to our new blog  I Will Do What You Want Me To Do. The mission of this blog is to become more in tune with the spirit and to follow our Say Go Be Do's which are known as inspiration or promptings. And once again welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
