Weekend company is coming tomorrow and today my simplified tasks were to clean two latrines-not the rooms they were in-just the commodes. I wanted them to sparkle and so began my task but, again, amid my attempt my limit was reached and I said, “I’m done”; kindly, Per finished the rest. I push myself to […]
In hard times I picture the Lord saying, “I never said it would be easy, I only said it would be worth it” and metaphorically grit my teeth and do hard things because of knowing that after they’re done is when I’m stronger. I don’t like hard things but I love improving and therefore endure […]
I listened to a General Conference talk on YouTube while eating my lunch today and after it was over another Conference talk played and another Conference talk was queued, so I let YouTube autoplay while I went on a ride. The third talk was from Elder Jeffrey R. Holland called “Place No More for the […]
The words to this song are beautiful and I share them with the hope that they’ll uplift you: Peace in Christ There is peace in Christ When we learn of him Feel the love He felt for us When he bore our sins Listen to his words Let them come alive If we know Him […]

Granted I walked to where the vacuum was stored, changed the battery (to make sure the vacuum wouldn’t die during my project), and emptied the full canister all before vacuuming my bedroom floor and that would normally seem like […]
The number one thing the trial of MS has taught me is to have patience because I’ve had to wait many times. You’d think that after ten years I’d be perfectly patient but you’d be wrong. Just yesterday I tried to organize my pantry after planning it out in my mind, but just before that […]
I wrote this journal entry exactly five years ago today and in reading it again I feel to share it on my blog. Enjoy! August 24, 2013 The Ultimate Cost God wants to bless us. But first He wants to know that we mean what we say – at the ultimate cost. This scripture has deeper […]
Some people don’t believe in God or the unseen. Many people only believe in who they are naturally and they only put their trust in their intellect, knowing that their success happens because of them.
