Jesus Christ’s Atonement covers ALL ♥️🙏🏻

Happy Sunday friends! We made it through another week ☀️🥰 

This last week, I feel as though my testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ’s Atonement has increased exponentially! I don’t know why, but for a time, I always thought that the Atonement was ONLY for sin. Only for the mistakes I made that I needed to repent of.

The older I became and the more gospel knowledge I acquired, I learned that the Atonement of Jesus Christ covers EVERYTHING. Our sins, weaknesses, pains, afflictions, anger, jealously, you name it! It’s covered. In Hebrew, the basic word for atonement is kaphar, a verb that means 'to cover' or 'to forgive.'

Elder David A. Bednar said "....There is no physical pain, no anguish of soul, no suffering of spirit, no infirmity or weakness that you or I ever experience during our mortal journey that the Savior did not experience first. You and I in a moment of weakness may cry out, 'No one understands. No one knows.' No human being, perhaps, knows. But the Son of God perfectly knows and understands, for He felt and bore our burdens before we ever did....He can reach out, touch, succor—literally run to us—and strengthen us to be more than we could ever be and help us to do that which we could never do through relying upon only our own power."

There’s been so many times where, for whatever reason, I just feel like I can’t go on. Where I am in so much pain, feel so sick, am so worried, stressed, and overwhelmed, that I just can’t do it by myself anymore. Anyone else ever been there? I don’t know why my first thought isn’t to reach out to Christ, and to go to Him first. 😔 I think sometimes we just forget that He can and will help us. 

Truth is, we NEED Christ. I need Christ. I need His help, His assistance, His love, and His forgiveness. He UNDERSTANDS ME. He UNDERSTANDS you. 

My challenge to you, is to ask Him for help! Go to Him first, not last. Make Him a priority in your life, because YOU are His priority.“ Always remember: “You are loved more than you will ever know by someone who died to know you.” ♥️🙏🏻 #Romans5:8 #happysunday #blessed #christ+me=more #godislove

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
