My Jesus Hobby

Every week I try to review a General Conference talk. This week I focused on the message given by Bonnie H. Cordon called "Never Give Up an Opportunity to Testify of Jesus Christ.

I love to ponder the question, "How can I make everything I do an opportunity to testify of Jesus Christ? I love the Savior, but this question helped me see that I can definitely do more! My children have coined the phrase, "Mom's Jesus Hobby," largely because I love to study His words and I love to find Him in every detail of my life. He is more to me than a hobby, but I love every minute I spend drawing closer to Him.

I feel like, the more I invite Him into my life, the more I can testify of what He does for me. I love that Sister Cordon taught that the things that we do to SEEK Christ are sacred opportunities to testify of Him as well. I love the idea that fasting, prayer, scripture study, and even cultivating Christlike virtues are all opportunities to testify of Jesus Christ. 

Sister Cordon says, "Look for Christ everywhere - I promise He is there!"

What if Jesus really was our hobby? If the subject of Him consumed our minds, filled our hearts, and created beauty in our words and actions. If we loved that hobby and gave it as much time as we do some of our secular hobbies, I believe that miracles would fill our lives, joy would be ours daily, and His power and strength would guide our actions and interactions with others. Let's look for Jesus everywhere!!!
