I think to myself," If she stays at this school, it's only going to get worse." My sweet daughter was becoming less sweet. She was coming home from school angry, and I knew why. I had received multiple promptings that she needed to transfer schools.But... This was my strong-willed child.I tilt back my head and let out a huge sigh. I know that if I make her transfer, it will not go well.It has to be her decision. If I'm being honest, she gets some of that from me. If I decide I should do something, I'm 100% all-in. But tell me to do something I don't believe in, and good luck-because it's not going to happen. I think there's some of that in most of us. That's probably why we chose to be here. We decided it was a good plan. Heavenly Father helped us get to that decision. Turns out, He's pretty good at that. So next time you have a child or a friend ready to make a tough decision... or you see someone headed the wrong way, help them the way heaven does. Help them see the right decision. In this week's episode, I walk through the 5 steps the Lord took to do just that for some of his children who had been misled. And, by the way, it works. My daughter came up to me a few weeks later and said," Mom, I want to transfer to that school." And guess what? It was one of the best decisions SHE ever made. This can be used along with your study of Come Follow Me or simply to gain insight on how the scriptures help us in real, actual life! The principles can also be used to teach kids, teens, or adults.
