A Believer

Two words " A Believer" have been in my mind a lot lately. We read in the Book of Mormon about all the people who were told that Christ would come and after waiting what seemed forever some started loosing their faith. But as with everything, not everybody lost their faith. There were some who kept the faith knowing that someday HE WOULD COME. Several times I've put myself in their situation. Would I be a believer? Would my faith go dim as so many has?... And most importantly- Am I a believer today? Even though I don't see God and Jesus on a daily basis or just because I have never seen them, Am I "A BELIEVER"? As I've thought about this different responses have come to mind. To me A Believer is more than just believing. It's who you are and is part of your everyday life. A Believer is...

Always

Being
Enlightened...
Living
Intuitively... and
Enduring
Various
Endeavors
Regularly

Even those who did keep the faith went through their fair share of trials; just as we all do in this life. But as we endure the various endeavors a remarkable thing can occur. We can change and grow into the person Heavenly Father knows and wants us to become.

Don't Get Caught

I remember listening to this talk in General Conference and the spirit confirming the truthfulness of the message to my heart. I know these words spoken by Elder M. Russell Ballard are true. I know Satan does not want us to be happy and will do ANYTHING in his power to make us miserable like he is.


 


Here's a few helpful hints to help you NOT get caught in one of his lures... 
  • sing a song to make you happy or change your thoughts
  • watch a Mormon.org message
  • get out of the situation A.S.A.P (As Soon As Possible)
  • read the scriptures
  • say a prayer


Don't get caught in one of Satan's false lures. You are better than that. Don't fall for the trap

I am His Daughter

I heard this song for the first time the other day and it touched my heart so I thought I would share it with all of you. I know the words of this song are true and we are ALL children of a LOVING Heavenly Father.



the photos in the magazines
don't dictate who i'm supposed to be
the world can't recognize, all that i am inside
but i know in his eyes, i am a part of, the bigger picture,

there's so much more to me
he helps me see that i have so much to offer
i am his daughter
he loves me the way i am,
he's my strength when i stand
he is my king, and my father,
i am his daughter.

the people on the tv screen,
the leaders, rulers, and queens
i watch them shape the world,
and though i'm just a girl, i still know for sure,
that i am a part of, the bigger picture

there's so much more to me
he helps me see that i have so much to offer
i am his daughter
he loves me the way i am,
he's my strength when i stand
he is my king, and my father,
i am his daughter

and when i'm feeling small,
and wondering if i'll ever, find courage to stand tall
through his love i remember

there's so much more to me
he helps me to see that i have so much to offer
i am his daughter
he loves me the way i am
he's my strength when i stand
he is my king, and my father,
i am his daughter
