Pre-Mortal Life

I was reading about Pre-Mortal Life and these 2 scriptures made me feel excited:

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
 Jeremiah 1:5

And God saw these souls that they were good, and he stood in the midst of them, and he said: These I will make my rulers; for he stood among those that were spirits, and he saw that they were good; and he said unto me; Abraham, thou art one of them; thou wast chosen before thou wast born.
 Abraham 3:23

So why am I excited? I am nothing at all like Jeremiah or Abraham. But I know that I was placed on this earth at a time that Heavenly Father wanted me to be. The very fact that I know that Heavenly Father is mindful of all of us makes me very happy. I could be going through the hardest, most difficult times,  but when I know for sure that Heavenly Father knows my problems and wants me to be happy, I know that I can make it and that I can still be happy. The time I have on this earth is only a tiny moment compared to eternity.  The Lord wants us to succeed and be happy for eternity.

Light Bulb Moment

I am horrible with expressing my feelings. When it comes to telling people what I am thinking, half of the time I fail. There are many things that I know inside my brain. I know them to be true and I believe in them but when it comes to explaining why or how...I get all flustered and my brain shuts down. I have been asked a question many times. I've tried to answer it and I feel like I did a decent job, but this morning I found an example for the asnwer that made total sense to me. I'm still getting asked by my children so I'm excited that I have a great way to answer it now. The question is, "Why don't your forgive me and forget what I did? Why do I have to be punished?" I have always answered, "you have made this choice. This was your action. I forgive you but that doesn't mean that you are free from the consequence. My forgiveness has nothing to do with the consequences of your actions." While I was reading in Moses 6, it explained tha...

Lectures on Faith

By
"When men begin to live by faith they begin to draw near to God; and when faith is perfected, they are like him; and because he is saved, they are saved also; for they will be in the same situation he is in, because they have come to him; and when he appears they shall be like him, for they will see him as he is."

Where Have I Been?

I haven't written anything on here for so long. I read my last post and realized how horribly written it was so I changed it a little. It is at the end of another Sunday. I wish I could say that Sundays were my favorite day of the week but I can't. In fact they are probably the hardest days to get through. Maybe it's because I never go to bed early on Saturday nights and I wake up tired and have to rush to get to church. Maybe it's because I have to wrestle with 3 children during Sacrament meeting and I never get a thing out of any of the talks.  I do have to say that Sunday evening walks are my favorite. It is the best time of the day when the sun is going down and the weather is cooling. I hate being inside during that time, unless the weather is horrible. We talk about anything and I always end up holding flowers that all kids have picked for me. The kids get the last of their energy out and then it's bed time! It is amazing how children can be so incredibly ...
