There comes a time when even good things must end, and that’s ok. They have served their purpose and what we have learned from them will stay with us for a lifetime.  The week of July 5, 2021 will be my last Come, Follow Me Daily Study Guide.

Recently I came across the Church News article about the North Visitors’ Center on Temple Square in Salt Lake City that explained how it was going to be demolished as part of the Temple Square renovation. After reading that article, I was sad as I thought about the first time I visited that Visitors’ Center. It was the summer I came to Utah to visit my grandma and cousins when I was 12-years-old. Coming from a small town in Missouri, this was my first trip to Temple Square. Of course I was in awe as I walked up to the 11-foot statue of Jesus Christ surrounded by the mural of heaven and earth. I felt a special feeling that day I’ll never forget. Throughout the years since that day, I have gone back and visited Temple Square and each time I have visited, the North Visitors’ Center has always been on my list of things I had to see.

Thinking back to all the times I’ve been to see that statue of Christ, the thought came to me that it has served it’s purpose. It was wonderful while it was there. It did much good helping others to feel the spirit and yearn to come closer to Christ. But now it’s season has passed. 

As with the North Visitors’ Center, there is a time and season for everything. As we are taught in Ecclesiastes 3:1, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…”

These thoughts and feelings have come at a time when I have felt drawn to do other things in my life and have begun struggling to find time to do them while still putting together weekly Come Follow Me Study Guides. I feel my guides have served a wonderful purpose. Many of you have expressed how much they helped you through COVID when we had to do Church at home on Sundays. I have felt blessed as I have shared these guides with you. I have learned and grown in the gospel so much during this last year and a half. 

What I’m trying to say is…

July 5 will be the last week of the Come Follow Me Study Guides. I will still have my blog up and running and will continually add gospel resources as I can to help you be the best teacher you can be at home and in your calling. Don’t forget to look at all my current posts that I already have.

I know you will continue to do amazing when it comes to teaching the scriptures in your home because I know you will continue to invite the Spirit to be with you as you study and prepare. You’ve got this! 🙂 No matter how discouraging or hard life gets, don’t ever quit reading the scriptures. They lead us to Christ and are our anchor in this chaotic world.
