Journal Week 10

 This week I was able to process the information I received during my Entrepreneur Interview.  I was glad that I interviewed my mentor a week before the assignment was due.  It gave me time to think about what we discussed I had time to ponder on the service Mike is able to provide because of the business decisions he has made. I personally struggle with the amount of time I spend with school work each week.  In my mind, I try to balance the cost of time spent on my home and with my family with my educational goals.  I am developing a clearer picture of what I want to accomplish academically, professionally, and personally. 


My favorite talk from this week’s lesson was Elder Dallin H Oaks’ talk from October 2000, “The Challenge to Become.” It has been a good reminder to me of my own conversion process. I enjoyed the parable of the father and the son. The father wanted to give his son all that he had.  What parent doesn’t want the very best for their children? He told his son that what he had, the father could easily give him, but it may not necessarily be the best for him.  What he IS, the child must develop for himself.  But what I found most profound is that the child it not on his own to figure it out for himself.  He has the example, training, and support of his father along the way.  It’s a beautiful parallel to our relationship with our Heavenly Father.  I hope to be able to follow His example and his tutoring to be all He wants me to become. By dong his will and becoming what he wants for me, I will be truly converted.
