Day 305 -- I Will Build a Ship

I dreamed a dream last night.  I dreamed of the two "N" prophets, Nephi and Noah.  I was discussing something with a few people I trust.  I was going to do something that they were objecting to. They said I could not do it.  I said I could and would.

I then had the two "N" prophets Nephi and Noah come into my mind.  Both  were commanded to build a ship. I am quite certain that neither of them were trained in the career of ship building. I am quite certain that they did not have experience building a boat to take people across a great water.  I am quite certain that they both depended upon our God for instructions and continued directions.  Both were building a boat to take their beloved families away from the wicked place where they lived. 

I am drawn to Nephi and the statement he used with his brothers.  1 Nephi 17:50  "If God had commanded me to do all things, I could do them.  If he should command me that I should say unto this water, be thou earth, it should be earth." 

I shared with those friends in my dream, "If God commanded me to do all things, I would do them."  I continued saying that I would go and I would do according to God's commands.  They expressed doubt, but when I brought up the two "N" prophets, and when I told them I would do what God told me to do, they backed down and reluctantly agreed.  They even agreed to help me accomplish what I was commanded to do.

If He wants me to build a ship, a boat, a kayak, or whatever He commands me to do, I will do, no matter the challenge, the obstacles, or the doubt of any others. I will!
