Lyssa's inspirational thoughts for the day!

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?

“JOY is ALWAYS within the reach of everyone who will Hear Him and obey His laws.” President Russell M. Nelson  So many friends of mine are looking for peace at this time of panic.

That pure joy that comes from living the gospel of Jesus Christ  💗  Does that mean that our lives will be easy? Of course not! It’s foolish to think so. Trials will come and when they do, they’ll help us grow into the people that GODS WANTS us to become. They suck a...

Hi friends! 🥰 With social media becoming crowded with a lot of not so great things now a days, my goal is and has always been to make it a place where I can uplift others and share my testimony, so I am going to continue to do that! ♥️☀️ New post: There have been numerous times in my life where I have uttered some of THE most sincere prayers ever to my Heavenly Father. They’ve been in times of my life where I could not do it anymore. Life was HARD- my friends, family, and myself were struggling, and I needed His help more than ever before. I called upon God, with all the faith I could muster, to ask for His help. To let Him take over. To fill my heart and mind with that comfort I so desperately needed. I can’t describe the miracles that have taken place, the feelings of peace, love, and comfort I have received, in doing that. ♥️ I KNOW that Heavenly Father is aware of His children. Especially in times of great need, sorrow, loneliness, or in times where we feel we cannot go on. He...
