For me, 2007 was a year of great learning: November 11, 2007 I have been praying every morning and centering myself spiritually. As I am kneeling, before I begin to pray, I think about Heavenly Father and how he feels about me. I reflect and this helps me to center and realize reality. Then I […]
I love the advice to build my life on a solid foundation. Things in the world constantly shift but my life doesn’t shift when I remember what makes me solid and immovable.
In my formative late teenage and early young adult years metaphysical “spirituality “ came into my life and caused me to wonder about believing in my childhood beliefs. I was already not attending church because of not fitting in as a teenage and young, single mother. I wanted to be with my church friends but […]
It’s not a matter of being one way or the other (regular or spiritual) but of incorporating spirituality into my regular life. When I worked in Corporate America my morning routine M-F began with getting up early (530am) and doing things for my personal life (praying, reading my scriptures, studying, pondering and writing in my […]
Members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints know many, many spiritual things. There’s always something worldly to know, but spiritual things are incorporated into lives of an abundance of good people around the world. There’s a famine in the land that isn’t seen but is greatly felt. Many people’s lives feel hollow […]
I was drifting off to sleep again when many thoughts and images came into my mind at 1:21 am and woke me up. My mind was filled with Lehi’s Dream about his vision of the tree of life. And then all of the words to ‘The Light He Gives’ filled my mind, as if to liken […]
Most people didn’t revere Jesus until He was dead; during His lifetime most people hated Him. Upon studying His life is when people revered Him. Studies revealed that: Jesus was sinless; Jesus’ disciples taught His words and those words were recorded and are called scripture; Prophets testified of Christ’s infinite Atonement and that made us […]
Can a person be too spiritual? The task of being spiritually minded is overcoming the world to be spiritually centered, like the Savior. (Spiritual people do their best to see, feel, think, and act like God—and not just on Sunday but always.) “Always” is the key to goodness but is “always” too much? Perhaps, to worldly people […]
I am truly grateful for the General Conferences of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints held twice every year on the first weekends of April and October. Each General Conference strengthens my spirituality and love for Jesus Christ as speakers share inspired messages that cause me to feel God’s Holy Spirit. My heart […]
What beautiful words: “Come, follow me,” the Savior said. Then let us in his footsteps tread, For thus alone can we be one With God’s own loved, begotten Son. “Come, follow me,” a simple phrase, Yet truth’s sublime, effulgent rays Are in these simple words combined To urge, inspire the human mind. Is it enough […]
Former Church President, Gordon B. Hinckley, said many things about having the Holy Ghost as our constant companion and receiving personal guidance (revelation) from on high. Here are a few things he said: ‘Listen for the whisperings of the Spirit in the middle of the night, and respond to those whisperings.’ I don’t know why […]
An interesting article on an internet website relayed 12 millennial’s opinions of their belief in spirituality but not religion. A lot of them referred to religion as negatively confining but spirituality as positively personal and loving. I can see truth in many of their opinions because most religions do divide instead of bring together. Many […]
Part of the Sunday morning session and all of the Sunday afternoon session of the October 2017 General Conference just got played on my phone and everything was equally as stirring as the first time when hearing it, proving that the spirit testifies whenever truth is spoken. Well spoken words are my great appreciation as […]
I look forward to one day always focusing on the spiritual instead of focusing on the world for six days (life, work…) and only focusing on the spiritual for just one day. It’s all about having our hearts connected to Heavenly Father, right?!! The things that don’t matter (and the things most people focus on) […]
