Do you ever have those days when everything you do seems to go wrong?  Well, for me, the past several months have seemed to be like that, especially the last couple of days (including today)  Seriously, I think that I am one of the most accident-prone people alive.  I just seem to attract trouble in everything that I try to say, accomplish, and try.  Just as an example, I was with some friends last night and we were all trying to walk across this tightrope strap that was strung between two trees.  I tried a couple of times in turn with everyone else and my balance skills were evidently lacking, which I have always known were minimal in my life and seemingly worse since my health concerns during my mission in the Ivory Coast (for more about that experience see My Exodus from the Ivory Coast).  Well, the third time I tried to walk across this rope was definitely the charm as the saying goes but it was not in the positive way.  I hopped up on the one end... Read the rest of this entry »

Two experiences  have contributed to the desire to write this post… Somewhere in the last week I saw a clip of  a reporter asking random people to say their names. One man looked at the reporter and said, “Unknown”. The reporter was perplexed. The man continued, “I don’t have a clue where I came from, why I am even here on this earth or what is going to happen to me after this life. I am just a big unknown.” I felt so sad for him. I know the answers to those questions. I pray the Lord will help this man find the answers. I have faith the Lord is watching over this man and will do all He can to lead “Unknown” Home. the truth is “Unknown” is very, very “Known”… The second experience was on Saturday morning. A friend of mine gave birth to two sons last week. The oldest lived for 4 minutes, the youngest lived for just a moment. My husband and I were asked to speak at the funeral. What I have written here... Read the rest of this entry »

Once a week our church encourages each person/family to have Family Home Evening. It is a special night set aside for families to spend some time together talking about the Gospel of Jesus Christ, singing songs, playing games, eating snacks and growing closer together. The temptation to let this weekly event slide can be strong with the busy schedules of today’s world. It is like anything that is of eternal significance – continually attacked by satan’s firey darts. I’ve noticed that if he can’t talk me out of actually having FHE, then he tries to get me to succumb to my crazy life and just play games and eat snacks thinking that our family just needs some fun time together. I will admit to a few of these arrows making it past my defenses a time or two or five. Gratefully, as I work at keeping other commandments like reading scriptures, praying with more intent etc., the Holy Ghost is able to help me keep my shield up so that I won’t be hit by satan’s... Read the rest of this entry »

Scripture is very clear and precise when it comes to the most basic elements of truth. One such prevailing truth is being obedient. Obedient to what and to whom is one that we have to answer. This answer comes to Nephi, … Continue reading →  Read More →

Just about a week or so ago, I was feeling a little stuck.  I think that we have all been at a point where we feel so uncertain about ourselves.  Self-doubt is something that Satan really uses in our lives to hold us up and make it so that we can’t get anywhere.  While I was feeling this way, I was reminded of an experience that I had last year.  My companion and I were heading upstairs just after lunch, and we usually take the elevator in our building up to the top floor since that is where we work.  It seemed as if it would be a normal, regular day, but things didn’t quite work out that way.  As my companion and I got into the elevator, I hit the button for the fifth floor while my companion went to lean back in the corner.  As we were approaching the fourth floor, my companion shifted his legs and hit the back wall of the elevator.  At that point, the light indicating what floor we were on went blank and we stopped moving. Yes, that’s right;... Read the rest of this entry »

So, I am being “inspired” to write this partially (a big part, I must confess) by an article/podcast discussion about the issue at MormonMatters.org. Not plagiarizing, but just tossing out some thoughts to consider. I encourage you to get familiar with the article and podcast. The podcast shoots down some stuff that many of us [...]  Read More →

Life is difficult.  At times, it can seem overwhelming, insurmountable, and even hopeless.  It doesn’t have to be that way.  You have a choice.  You can choose to be optimistic and hopeful even when it feels like you are walking alone in darkness.  You are never truly alone.  There are unseen forces leading you forward, lifting you, and inspiring your heart and mind.  God and life itself are conspiring together for your happiness and success.  Have faith in Heavenly Father.  Never underestimate his ability and willingness to shower blessings upon you, if you but ask.  He has never failed you in the past, and never will.  He has promised you blessings beyond the limits of your own imagination.  He will not fail you. Life is a wonderful—it has it high moments, its lows, with surprises lurking around every corner.  Though the way be dark before you, never despair.  Trust that God will light the way before you.  Though you know not where the path leads, be assured that He... Read the rest of this entry »
