We have different beliefs but in talking about Jesus why waste time trying to prove if my Jesus or your Jesus are the same person? The real question is do we both believe in what Jesus taught? (Love God; Love your neighbor; Be kind; Repent; Turn to Jesus, follow him and rest from your troubles; […]
Why is it noble to strive for an impossible dream but not noble to reach that dream? Is success just a hope …a wish …but not a reality? Is it easier to be jealous of someone else’s success rather than to do what it takes to be successful myself? What do my beliefs say about […]
I know in whom I trust. My God is my support. He has and does lead me through afflictions. Many times he fills me with his love, even unto tears. He knows the feelings of my heart. He enlightens my mind with many thoughts. As I ponder, study or pray he surrounds me with His […]
I don’t have fearful, small-minded thinking but know that all things are possible to those who believe in their dreams. I have faith and trust in good outcomes. My goal is being my best self and believing that great actions bring great rewards. I’m willing to do what it takes to have what I want. […]
I love this miraculous biblical account of faith: And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, when she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and […]
What do you do when your dream hasn’t happened yet? You keep believing and trusting and showing the real you. You show that believing and trusting is who you really are, even when up until now your dream isn’t reality. “Dare to do something so extreme that people wonder if you’re crazy. Dare to make […]
Every good idea starts with faith, then it hopes for it and does what it takes to get it, then when it is accomplished it rejoices. Faith believes. Faith states “I can have my dreams” and knows it’s possible. Hope determines and perseveres. Hope is resolve in the pep talk that says, “I can do it! I WILL do […]
At the last General Conference (April 2021) President Nelson called for us to increase our faith. He said, Through your faith, Jesus Christ will increase your ability to move the mountains in your life, even though your personal challenges may loom as large as Mount Everest. I’ve always had faith in Jesus Christ and believe […]
President Nelson said at the last General Conference (April 2021): The Lord does not require perfect faith for us to have access to His perfect power. But He does ask us to believe. I’m not sure anyone can have perfect faith in this life: Power to create worlds; Power to manipulate physical things but I […]
I wrote this over 7-1/2 years ago but feel to share it today: Saturday, August 10, 2013 My Testimony of Belief For five years I said, “I will accept this trial if it’s God’s will.” I had a priesthood blessing once, the first year I got sick, but never even considered being healed because if […]
I love that beginning in my youth I was taught to strive for perfection, that one day I’d receive all good things and to work toward getting the eternal. I love that my life has a purpose and second best isn’t good enough. Moroni said, “Come unto Christ, and be perfected in him, and deny […]
I know -somehow I just know absolutely in my heart, without any doubt- that everything the Lord declared will come true (no matter how long ago He said it.) Same with prophecies, my heart absolutely believes that every prophecy will happen (no matter how long ago it was prophesied.) I’m prepared and ready to move […]
“And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become […]
How can I not love this song? It’s all about taking action: Having faith in Jesus Christ; Standing for Him even when others don’t; Believing He’ll guide me; Sure that He’ll ease my burdens; Trusting that He’ll bless me; Going where He wants me to go; Doing what He wants me to do; Accepting that […]
Continually believing in dreams, is saying, “Even if it doesn’t happen when expected and within a reasonable amount of time it WILL happen” Having this type of faith (the ‘no doubt’ kind) produces miracles. This type of faith can seem delusional to others, because they don’t believe the same; but just because they don’t believe […]
I totally believe all the words of the prophets in the scriptures. I believe God keeps his promises, no matter how long it takes, and that those promises will be extended to me. I believe the words of the Lord’s servants and strive to obey them. I know that teachings from the scriptures and spiritual […]
I understand Job. After all he had lost I think he thought, “I’ve come too far to doubt now” and his faith became absolute. “Blessed be the name of the Lord” he exclaimed and wholeheartedly put his faith and trust in God, amid all the things against him. There are times where most of my […]
In the words of God’s Prophet, Russell M. Nelson: I feel to say to my reticent friends: “In this life, you have never settled for second best in anything. Yet, as you resist fully embracing the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, you are choosing to settle for second best. “The Savior said, ‘In my Father’s […]
This thought was in my mind today when I woke up: “Only listening to the Lord is following the impressions in your heart without doubt and with complete trust.” I’m reminded of when my son, Andrew, was on his mission and he and his companion needed to visit someone in the hospital but they didn’t […]
I metaphorically faced a crossroad this morning of either doubting or believing something. Worry was in my heart at the prospect of it being untrue. I felt sadness and turmoil while lying in my bed thinking about it, and the idea of it being false troubled me considerably. While lying in bed I grabbed my […]
I’m glad to know there are many women who are strong defenders of Jesus Christ. They are capable women with a solid foundation who are examples to others because of their kindness, courage, and moral strength. They have conviction and vision. They know what they want and won’t stop striving for their goals. I love […]
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. I respect all people, even when we disagree, and have no doubt in our right to believe what we do. I hope for friendship and […]
Will the Lord keep His promises? Will Jesus Christ come again? ‘Yes’ I believe without question. It’s not a matter of wondering but of crossing the point of no return and putting it all in and trusting in complete faith. Experiences on Sunday testified, once again, that the Lord works miracles to accomplish His purposes: We had […]
Mormon or member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? What an odd question, aren’t they both the same? No, they’re not. “Mormons” is an inaccurate nickname for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; the correct name for church members. One doesn’t need a religion to tell them how to be because […]
I’ve begun again to re-read the Book of Mormon for the umpteenth time because after finishing it I start again; the book brings a sense of spirituality and testimony to my life that I never want to be without. Three chapters into the book brings me to where Nephi and his brothers return from the […]
