I love the personal prayer inherent in this spiritual song, written many years ago: I Want Jesus to Walk with Me I want Jesus to walk with me. I want Jesus to walk with me. All along my pilgrim journey, Lord, I want Jesus to walk with me. In my trials, Lord, walk with me. […]
I know, with all of my heart, that as I link arms with the Lord and pray for Him to be in my life that He will be there. It’s not a matter of me having the courage or strength to fight my battles alone but of me knowing that with Him in my life […]
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” I love this […]
“Yea, I say unto you, my son, that there could be nothing so exquisite and so bitter as were my pains. Yea, and again I say unto you, my son, that on the other hand, there can be nothing so exquisite and sweet as was my joy.” -Alma 36:21 I relate to this statement so […]
God’s living Prophet on the earth today is Russell M. Nelson. After him another Prophet will be called, in the Lord’s orderly way, and in this final dispensation we will never be without God’s Prophet on the earth. As Neil L. Andersen said at the April 2018 General Conference, “The prophet is a watchman on the tower, protecting us […]
The scriptures are personal. What are they saying to me? Two people can read the same words but take from them totally different things. That’s the beauty of the scriptures: They were written thousands of years ago and everyone reads the same thing, but the meanings are individual. A wise man once said to liken the scriptures […]
A week ago, Sunday night, I was in tears because of needing a bathroom break every 15 minutes! I was so bummed that my MS was advancing in that way. “I can handle anything but this! This pushes me to my limit and I can’t take any more!!” I lamented to Per. That night I […]
Some people are cheery but some people are sad. When I’m feeling sad…what helps me is doing something nice for someone. I tell myself to make someone’s day or lighten their load, and find that when helping someone is when I’m happy. When I’m sad and in a funk I know that doing something nice […]
Why do I say what I do? Why say anything at all? Because I care. Because I want to uplift and be a light in this dark world. Because I want to help someone in their life. Because when you know something it’s most helpful to share it. Because I think a lot and answers come […]
The spirit awoke me in the middle of the night a few days ago to go and help my friend. She had previously told me she hadn’t done some things in her home because they were her son’s responsibility and she wasn’t going to do them. Many thoughts ran through my mind when I awoke including: […]
I’m truly in the world but not of the world. Seven years has separated me from what I knew – the world. It’s been so long that I was the old me that I don’t even remember a lot of it. I’m the new me and here to do the Lord’s work. I’m an instrument […]
The idea to ‘Focus Only On the Good’ has helped me SO much: Focus only on positive thoughts (I can’t control what thoughts enter my mind, but I can control what I continue to think about. If a negative thought enters my mind it’s me who chooses to think more negative things and dwell on […]
We all have many people in our lives that inspire and help us. Mentors are found in all kinds of places and they all have one thing in common: they all help us be more. When we want to be something do we look to people who aren’t it? No! We look to people who are the best […]
“Deep at the center of my being there is an infinite well of love” That quote, by Louise Hay, is part of her ‘Love Yourself’ affirmation. It’s in my book called You Can Heal Your Life that I’ve had since 1987. I love that book for many reasons – one being that it has helped […]
