2017, a fresh start, a new beginning, and a year to become the happiest you can. 2016 wasn't that great for some people, and for some people, it was great. Nonetheless, everyone can use some spiritual inspiration to inspire their new year! Compiled between myself, and some of my great friends, we created a list of our top ten favorite scriptures! These scriptures encourage, teach lessons, and hopefully will provide a light for some of my readers,a light at the end of your dark tunnel you're traveling through. Trials and tribulations are essential to the growth of ourselves and our own testimony of the Savior. I hope these scriptures help you, as much as they have helped me. Some you may recognize, some may be new, I encourage you to think and contemplate about each one of these. Enjoy!
