Scripture Power!

Hi friends! Less of a social life, has helped me really think more about life. I think about my seminary students & how they’re doing- my family, my friends, & all that is going on around me. I miss them! 😔 I miss the old “routine”, BUT, out with old & in with the new! 

As I was doing some personal study this morning, the words on the pages came to life. The beautiful thing about the scriptures, is that every time I read, I get something new and different out of the verses than I ever have before. Principles and doctrines pop out of the pages, and I am able to think how I can apply those to my own life.

I was not the best scripture studier in high school. 😅 I memorized a ton of scriptures, but I struggled to read every day. I’d see my little brother and sister read their scriptures before bed and their example made me want to be better. I’m still a work in progress, but aren’t we all? Whether it’s scripture study, praying, fasting, etc. there is always something to work on.

Since then, I have really been making my scripture study more of a priority in my life. In Mosiah 2:34 King Benjamin says: “... ye are eternally indebted to your heavenly Father, to render to Him all that you have and are.” We are not our own. We are His! Heavenly Father has given us everything. All He is asking in return is that we do what He asks, by keeping His commandments. IF we do that, we will prosper in the land! We will be HAPPY! 😁 (Mosiah 2:41) 

Wherever you are at in your journey of life, may we all take the time to care for each other, thank and praise God for all we have, and re-commit ourselves daily to being better disciples of Christ. 

I know the Book of Mormon is TRUE! I know that it was written for us in our day. As we read from it’s pages DAILY, we will be filled with the spirit of the Lord, protected from the adversary, and have more JOY in our lives than before. Don’t be discouraged though if it gets more difficult, the harder you try. Those who are doing what’s right and really TRYING, it will constantly be an uphill climb. But don’t lose hope, God and Christ will help us, as well as those who are seen and unseen. Love you all! ♥️ #blessedwiththebest #scripturepower👊🏻

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
