Why Did I Make This Blog?

Image
By
I have been thinking for quite a while about just making my own blog that didn't have pictures of my kids, only my thoughts and testimony. I think it is more of my journal of writing down my thoughts of things that I've read or thoughts that come to me. It helps me to realize things better. I might not always make sense because I can't communicate as well as I'd like but hopefully my point gets out there to someone. It also helps me to have people comment. I would like anyone who isn't a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints to be able to ask questions or comment. I'm not interested in debating, only sharing what I believe.

I know that things that I testify of are true. I will not doubt that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is true. I know without a doubt it is. I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and is true. I know that when the Bible is translated correctly it is the truth. I know that we have a Prophet on the earth right now and the Lord communicates to us through him. I know that Joseph Smith saw Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ and restored the true church on this earth. I know that Heavenly Father has a plan and he loves us more than we can comprehend. He wants us to live with Him again. I am more grateful than I ever have been to know this. It brings me such happiness and guidance that helps me more than anything else on this earth can do.

Leadership Meeting

By
I was lucky to be able to attend a leadership meeting yesterday (December 2, 2023) Flagstaff with Elder Steven D. Shumway, Elder Michael A. Dunn, and Elder D. Todd Christofferson. Life has been pretty darn hard this year. I have felt very low this week. The hour and a half drive was worth it if I could get even a small moment of peace. Of course, I heard so much that I needed to hear. Things I needed to be reminded, and things that I needed to learn.  This list of things that stood out to me probably wouldn't help anyone else. I know that I learn best when I can write what I have learned and get a better understanding from it. I am very forgetful and have a hard time reiterating what others have said. I understand things in my mind, but when I express that understanding to someone else, I have a hard time knowing what words to use. So this is my way of trying to get through it. Ok, so Elder D. Todd Christofferson talked about how the Atonement of Jesus Christ is what makes the whol...

Realization

By
A little seed was planted in my heart when I was a teenager going to seminary. I decided during the year we were learning about the Book of Mormon that I wanted to know for myself if it was true. When I prayed about it, nothing spectacular happened, but I felt a unique feeling of peace that I hadn't felt before. Now that it's been over 20 years later, I can say that every time I've read the Book of Mormon, that belief that it is true has become stronger and stronger. This year I decided to get a special Book of Mormon that has space to write on each page. I set a goal to take the time to ponder what I have read and write down what I understand, or what the Spirit tells me. I have read this book many times and have learned a lot already, but this time has felt so different. I have been able to understand so much more. There are days when I want to hurry and read the next chapter to catch up and not take the extra time to ponder and write, but I have made myself do it anyways...
