Meditation brings me closer to God 🧘‍♀️🙏🏻☀️


 Mornings for me are a time where I can clear my head, my heart, and my mind. When I put the effort in to arise early, (D&C 88:123-124) I always feel better. I’m able to do some type of exercise, which gets my heart pumping and helps me feel better. Afterwards I meditate, and then I just feel more at one with myself. Mornings are also when I feel inspired to write. 🥰

Meditation 🧘‍♀️ has become one of my favorite things to do. I think of it as just some one on one time with my Heavenly Father. I clear my mind, put on some calming music or some type of guided meditation, and just pray. Really talk to God- tell Him EVERYTHING. 🙏🏻

In institute last night we read a few scriptures that really stuck out to me. Gods ways are not our ways, His thoughts are not our thoughts. (Isaiah 55) That God really does have all wisdom and all power. That He created everything and everything represents Him. (Mosiah 4:9) And most importantly, He loves each and every one of us. He has a perfect plan for us and wants us to succeed in all of our endeavors. 

All this really hit me. It was almost like the spirit was telling me “Lyssa, relax. 😌 Trust Heavenly Father. Everything He does is for your good. He can make your burdens light. Let Him help you. Relinquish control. (Which I don’t know about you, but that is hard 😅)

I’m really grateful that the same God who created you and I, loves us all unconditionally. I’m grateful that He gives me hard and challenging times to go through- seasons of change to help me become better. 

In a world that is filled with all sorts of commotion and to-do lists, take the time to be still. To think, to learn, to relax, and to give your worries to God. I know He hears our prayers, reaches our reaching, and really does want to be a part of our lives. Let Him help you. Let Him into your life. Let Him guide you, even if it’s down paths that are unknown. He won’t lead you astray. He’ll be with you every step of the way. ♥️

I worry way to much about the future and what will work out or won’t. But as long as I’m doing what God wants me to be doing, I know He will lead me to where I’m meant to go! 👊🏻☀️🥰 #mediationisgoodforthesoul #takemebacktoalaska #tooblessedtobestressed

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
