The inner workings of my soul 😌

I know I’ve written about the love that God has for us before, but as of late I’ve seen His hand in my life and the love that He has for me even more. It’s been this HUGE thing! I’ve been taking an institute class called Jesus Christ and the everlasting gospel. It’s really had a big impact on me. My teacher, Brother Hunsaker, tells us about these things called word of wisdom lessons. Basically his students will have lessons taught to them by the spirit- things that that specific individual needs. It’s what the Holy Ghost has taught them. 

I had one of these experiences a couple weeks ago. It was quite beautiful. Our lesson was on the creation. As we were taught more about how God created the earth and how He created man and woman - I remember getting this overwhelming feeling that God was aware of me. He created ME. He knew what was going on in my life, what I would experience, the choices I would make- he literally was and is in the details of my life. Most importantly, I knew He loved me so much. Tears began to flow out of my eyes and I couldn’t contain them any longer.

Brother Hunsaker said and or challenged us to ask God what He loves about you, what He is proud of you for doing, and how much He really does love you. This was a beautiful a-ha moment for me. As I sat there in class, quietly crying, the spirit testified to me that God does love us so much! And if we will ask Him how He feels about us and how much He loves us- HE WILL TELL YOU. ♥️ I challenge all of you to do so!

I’ve just been so overwhelmed and overjoyed with the love of God lately that I’ve been feeling. The pure happiness. There’s been many times that I literally FEEL Gods love so much that I begin to cry. I immediately say a silent prayer and thank God for these feelings. The experiences I have had lately and the things I’m learning about Jesus Christ and our Father in heaven have really opened my eyes up to the love that is there from a loving Father.

In Moses 6:63 we’re taught that “And behold, all things have their likeness, and all things are created and made to bear record of me, both things which are temporal, and things which are spiritual; things which are in the heavens above, and things which are on the earth, and things which are in the earth, and things which are under the earth, both above and beneath: all things bear record of me.” His love is everywhere. Seek it.


Brothers and sisters, friends and family, keep on keeping on! You’re worth it- and God knows that. Do YOU? Don’t ever give up! This gospel is the one and ONLY way for us to experience TRUE happiness☀️ and let me tell you, it is possible. 😊

My body: ❤️

  New post: My body: Warning ⚠️ vulnerable post ahead!  I’ve always been more on the plus size side and have really tried hard to work on myself to become more confident with my body. I’ve tried to feel comfortable in my own skin and to love and accept my body in every stage, because EVERY stage is beautiful! But I’m not perfect at it and some days are hard. I’ve recently gained some weight that has come with the stresses of life (uggg it’s the worst) life changes, etc. and have found myself absolutely CONSUMED with my body and how “awful” I think I look. 😓 I’m the girl in a room thinking of my weight and if I’m the heaviest. Constantly comparing my body to everyone else’s. I always thought that I had to have this “perfect” body to feel accepted and that if I didn’t fit this standard of beauty that I would have no value.  I find myself comparing my body to everyBODY that comes along. I remember for almost every birthday growing up, secretly wishing to be “skinny” and thinking that if

God is love ❤️

 I recently attended the funeral services of Cason’s uncle that unexpectedly passed away. Even though I didn’t know him super well, he was such a kind man! Tears fell as the talks, memories, and testimonies of his family, grandchildren, and friends were shared. I walked away feeling so uplifted ❤️🙏🏻 it was such a spiritual funeral. I think that’s the point, when loved ones pass, is to get you to reflect on your own life and the people around you. I felt so much love that day-So much care and concern that God is aware, He is in control, and He knows what we are all going through! I know God has a plan for each of His beloved children. I know He loves each and every single one of YOU! Yes, YOU. I know that not a tear falls that He doesn’t know about or of a hurtful thought that was said to you. He celebrates the good times and is there for us in the bitter times. He finds joy in the things that make us laugh and in the people we help along the way. He truly is our biggest fan and cheer

LIVE ☀️

  New post: I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting recently and realized that it’s been a while since I’ve felt inspired to write a new post.  Hardships and loss, like most thought provoking experiences we are all going to get to go through, bring lots of reflection. Loss of a loved one, compassion for those experiencing the loss, and the sorrow and grief that come along, that you don’t quite understand and realize, until you go through it yourself.  Death and change, ironically, make you think and reflect on your own life. The impact you make, the example you set, the kindness you show, the love you give freely, and the acts of service you show to others.  It (hopefully) makes you want you try harder. To be a little better. To love more. To give more. To serve more. To LIVE more. To not let the opportunities pass you by. To spend more time with the ones you love. To do the things you’ve dreamed of doing. To not sweat the small stuff and to actually LIVE. ☀️ So here’s to the new version o
