Just Like Him - July 23, 2014

(Plaque: "My daughter is becoming just like me! Lucky girl.")

As women, we are all daughters of God, and we have been given the commandment to be like him! Matthew 5:48 tells us to be "perfect, even as [our] Father which is in heaven is perfect." This life is our opportunity to work on becoming just like him! We cannot be perfect today, but we become a little bit more like him everyday as we repent daily and follow his commandments. Aren't we all such lucky girls?

Our goal (becoming perfect) is achievable! Start with today: what will you do TODAY, to become just a little more like our Father in heaven?

Yesterday, Today, and Forever - July 16, 2014

While the laws of men and the standards of the world are changing, the laws and standards of God NEVER change. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever, and all of the promises he has given us WILL be fulfilled, IF we will be faithful to him and keep His commandments.

37 Search these commandments, for they are true and faithful, and the prophecies and promises which are in them shall all be fulfilled.

38 What I the Lord have spoken, I have spoken, and I excuse not myself;and though the heavens and the earth pass away, my word shall not pass away, but shall all be fulfilled, whether by mine own voice or by the voice of my servants, it is the same.

(Doctrine & Covenants 1:37-38)

Live the Book - July 9, 2014

As a truck driver, you spend a lot of time waiting. Waiting to load, waiting to unload, waiting with nothing to do. There are many hours spent... waiting. So what did I do?I ate, listened to music, cleaned my truck, and I also spent quite a bit of time reading the Book of Mormon.

Life is busy, always. If you say "if I have time, I will read the Book of Mormon," that time will never come, because we overlook the moments we spend doing things of little significance (like waiting) that could be spent doing things of ETERNAL significance. ‪#‎livethebook‬ ‪#‎calledtoshare‬

Search the Book - June 24, 2014

Although on my mission my favourite place to read my Book of Mormon has been at my desk, it is always nice to sit amongst God's creations while reading the Book of Mormon. I love to pray before I read, read, and then sit and take time to feel and understand the feelings that come from reading. One of my favourite scriptures is Alma 30:44, which says that all things denote that there is a God, and that is so evident as I sit and read my scriptures outside and think about all the beautiful things He has made! ‪#‎searchthebook‬

Happy Father's Day - June 17, 2014

My dad didn't teach me everything that I know, he gave me the tools I needed to learn everthing that I know, and those tools are priceless! Through his example, and my relationship with him, I have come to understand more fully my relations...hip with my Heavenly Father.

I love my Heavenly Father, and I love the father he sent me to help me return to live with him again.

 

 

#DiscoverTheBook - June 11, 2014

I started my journey to discovering the Book of Mormon when I was 12. My parents and my church leaders had all told me that I should read the book and pray to know if it was true. I knew that that would be a huge step in my life because if the Book of Mormon is true, that means that Joseph Smith was a prophet called of God and that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is Christ's restored church! And that meant to me that I must continue faithfully living its principles... For the rest of my life! So that was a big deal.

I read the entire book all the way through and when I finished, I knelt and I prayed, asking my Heavenly Father if the book was true. I sat and I waited for an answer and it never came. I was disappointed, but something made me want to try again, so I did. I read the entire book cover to cover once again, and when I finished, I knelt and I prayed, asking my Heavenly Father if the book was true. I sat and I waited for an answer and it never came. Instead of disappointed, I was a little bit frustrated, but something made me want to try again, so I did. I read the entire book cover to cover once again, and when I finished, I knelt and I prayed, asking my Heavenly Father if the book was true. I sat and I waited for an answer and it never came. I was confused and sad because so many people had done the exact same thing and had what I considered success. They had felt a burning in there heart, or heard a voice telling them it was true... but that didn't happen to me. As I sat pondering, a thought came into my mind which I took as my answer that said, "you already know."

I know that the Book of Mormon is the word of God and that it is another testament of Jesus Christ. I gained that knowledge by reading often and praying!
