Forgiveness:

Forgiveness:

I share this experience with you, not to make you feel bad for me, but to be real. Its ok not to be ok sometimes. The last 24 hours of my life have been hard. Some things that have happened have brought me to my knees. As I cry out and plead with my Heavenly Father to help me understand, I’m reminded that my anger and sorrow is real. I still feel numb and at times still heartbroken, but I feel my Saviors love. The love He freely gives me. I woke up with a strange sense of peace. ♥️

I taught on Matthew 18 in seminary today. Jesus teaches us to forgive 70X7. That we place our burdens on our Savior Jesus Christ and therein find peace. Peace only the savior can bring. Comfort that only He can give, and a sense of love only He loves us with.

It doesn’t make those hard things easier necessarily, but I know that in my savior Jesus Christ, I can have my burdens lifted and that peace restored. I still have angry feelings, sadness, confusion, and thoughts of “why”, but I know that my Heavenly Father is aware of me. He knows what I need to become and how that is going to happen. He knows me and where I am going, what is going to take place, and every detail in between. He makes it possible to go on one more day, to forgive others, and to keep moving forward.

Elder Richard G. Scott said, “Forgiveness heals terrible, tragic wounds, for it allows the love of God to purge your heart and mind of the poison of hate. It cleanses your consciousness of the desire for revenge. It makes place for the purifying, healing, restoring love of the Lord”.

God is AWARE of you brothers and sisters! Come unto Christ and be healed. Feel His love, and don’t forget that He loves you. He has a plan for YOU, and everything will be okay. ♥️

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
