I have read and reread the talk "Daughters of God" by an apostle of the Lord, Elder M. Russell Ballard and there were many great aspects that I would love to share but instead I will share this one in particular. In the Book of Mormon Alma counsels his son Helaman and his counsel applies to us today,
"Behold I say unto you, that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass" (Alma 37:6).

I'll have to read that. But it is true that we need to remember the simple things that we take for granted. They might be simple but they are pretty important at the end.

Beyond Grateful

By
I feel a strong urge to shout out my gratefulness to God. I keep thinking today of how blessed I am. I feel so incredibly blessed. I am so happy that I have the knowledge that God is watching over me and helps me find my way. I am so overjoyed that I know, without a single doubt, that He is there for me and everyone else. My crazy life has been in shambles for a long time and yesterday felt like it couldn't get much worse. But today I feel so calm and ready to face my future with optimism. I could have chosen different ways to deal with my problems, but I am glad that I chose this one. I know that I would not feel this peaceful feeling if I chose any other way. I understand better when the prophets in the scriptures talk about having a desire to proclaim the gospel to everyone. Why wouldn't you want to feel such happiness? Any worldly way cannot bring ultimate and long term happiness. So I want to repeat what those prophets have said, "Come unto Christ." He has gone t...

Elder Bednar

By
I thought I'd write down some of my thoughts from last night. I was really lucky to go and see Elder Bednar speak. He didn't prepare a talk, he just opened it up for questions. One of the questions was something like, "How can we apply the atonement more fully in our lives?" I was excited to hear his response when he mentioned my favorite scripture, Mosiah 3:19. He said that the natural man is selfish and wants whatever he desires right then and no later. It is hard to overcome the natural man. In fact we cannot do it on our own. We need the Saviors help to "become a saint" by applying the atonement to our lives. The atonement doesn't only deal with forgiveness for our sins. It gives strengthening power. Elder Bednar also went to Mosiah 24: 13-15. In verse 13 it mentions the covenants we make and the covenants that the Lord makes. The promises Heavenly Father has made to us when we do our part are so wonderful. I'm sure if I could remember those pr...

Where Have I Been?

By
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 ...
