I know that God answers our prayers. I know that He loves us each personally and is very aware of what is going on in our lives. There is no doubt in my mind that He cares deeply about us and knows us better than we know ourselves. He knows what we are going through and He knows what we can handle and He blesses us with blessings beyond measure. Malachi 3:10 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the...

I’ve had a rough couple of years, which would explain the lack of writing and the major neglect of my blog. My children left to go and live with their dad, which threw me into a deep depression unlike anything I have ever known. I went to the doctor, seeking help and found out that I am bipolar. This past couple of years, I have been trying to deal with the very real and scary disease, which...

I recently ran across a new part of the mormon.org website published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. It is dedicated to helping people understand The Book of Mormon. It made me reflect on how I feel about The Book of Mormon. I have read The Book of Mormon together with my family for as long as I can remember. I have also spent a lot of time studying the scriptures on my own,...

I’ve been thinking, “Wouldn’t it be nice if someone did a prom dress drive to gather modest prom dresses in our area?” And after talking to a friend, I realized that I have a talent for sewing and I would really enjoy doing something like that. So, I’m taking it upon myself to start gathering prom dresses for a modest prom dress closet like the one they showed in the...

I’ve been reflecting a lot lately on the Savior’s atonement and resurrection. Easter is such a happy time when spring is in full bloom and the sun is shining more and more. I’m glad that there is such a parallel between the season and the holiday. New life is all around us and there is evidence everywhere of God’s love. It is easy to see the glory of the resurrection being...

Here is a girl who is making a big difference in her community by making available modest prom dresses for anyone who wants to borrow one. It’s an amazing concept and it fits so well with the values of modesty that The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints promotes. With prom dresses becoming less and less modest as the years go by, it is really becoming difficult for young women to find...

Yay, it’s conference weekend! I just watched this morning’s conference session. It was so inspiring and wonderful. Then, I remembered that I hadn’t posted anything to this blog to let you know about conference. So, here I am, writing about the conference and inviting you to listen and watch as the living prophet on the earth and others lift us spiritually and prepare us for the...

This is a very touching video about a little girl who helps remind her family of the true meaning of Christmas as she thoughtfully puts together a nativity scene in her room using objects from around the house. It’s worth watching again, even if you’ve already seen it. I think especially when times are hard, it is easy to focus on the material side of things and how much we would like...

Every year, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints puts on a Christmas devotional to celebrate the beginning of the Christmas season. I feel that this is a wonderful way to invite the spirit to be with us at Christmas time. It reminds me of the true meaning of Christmas and helps me to focus on what’s most important during the holidays. It brings peace to my heart and soul. All...

Everyone has been blessed with gifts of the spirit and talents, which they may or may not be aware of.  So, how can you find out what they are?  And, once you know what they are, how do you develop them? Talents are something that we are blessed with from a loving Heavenly Father.  Some people may appear to have more talents than others, but I believe that is only because many of our talents are...
