A testimony is worth sharing! My testimony of Christ is so dear to me for many reasons and I love sharing it. He died for ME! Me. Someone who isn't always the best and someone who doesn't always do the right thing. But that is everyone. He died for everyone. Even the people we don't know. The homeless, the poor, the needy, the righteous and the unrighteous. If He didn't die for me I wouldn't be able to return to live with my Heavenly Father again. I am so thankful that He did that for me. He only did that beloved act because He loves me so much, more than I can comprehend. Also I KNOW that He lives! I know it with every fiber of my being! And because He lives I can live again. Christ is so perfect and it is exactly that reason that only He could do that nameless act that He performed for everyone. When I see Him again and I know I will. I will fall to my knees with tears streaming down my face in nameless gratitude for Him. He suffered everything I have suffered r...

"Remember, happiness doesn't depend on who you are or what you have; it depends solely on what you think."- Dale Carnegie “What we love determines what we seek. What we seek determines what we think and do. What we think and do determines who we are — and who we will become.”-Dieter F. Uchtdorf What will you seek after?  Will you seek after the worldly things this season or will you seek after Christ? It is your choice and your choice alone but remember the choices you make DO affect others.

It is getting closer and closer! Christmas time!!!!!!!!! I am so excited! I love the season of Christmas! I heard a story recently about Santa Claus and the similarities he has with Christ. Here I will share He wears red. ( Isaiah 63:2 ) His hair is white. ( Revelation 1:14 ) He comes in the Night. ( 1 Thessalonians 5:2 ) He loves little children. ( Matthew 19:14 ) He knows we are good. ( 1 Timothy 2:3,4 ) And He brings gifts. ( James 1:17 ) Symbols Wreath Eternal love, no beginning, no end. Love comes full circle Candle The light of Christ, our own inner light Gifts Giving, sharing, thinking of others Bow Tied in the bonds of brotherly love Bell Rings to bring lost sheep home Tree The evergreen of everlasting life, pointing heavenward Red The Savior's sacrifice for all Candy Cane Shepherd's crook for bringing lambs back to the fold Star The Bethlehem star, a sign of prophecy, the light of the world Santa Claus The spirit of Christmas, g...

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Christmas time. It is such a happy season and a fun time too. Since I am in Utah I have had the opportunity to play in the snow! I really have never done that before (I know it's sad isn't it lol). But lets not forget the most important thing about this time though.... Christ. I wrote a poem and I called it Christmas Christmas To God the most High, Is what the angel's sang. Christ our Savior was born, In a manger, For there was no crib to lie his sweet head. We now thank thee this Christmas season, For this is the season of Christ. The giving to others As Christ gave to us. What a gift to give We now have, To share His gospel Through all the world. The light of Christ To everyone's home. It's a nameless act That we willingly do. Lets all share the message of Christ this season. Share it with a beloved friend or family member, or even someone you feel impressed to share it with. Everyone needs to hear good...

Sorry I haven't been able to post much anymore I have been transferred to a new area where I don't have a computer accessible to me to post on my blog. But a little advice I found recently; Life isn't about finding yourself- life is about creating yourself. -George Bernard Shaw Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up. - Jesse Jackson Thanksgiving is for giving thanks to the things we have that are important to us like our family, Christ, the Gospel, etc. So during this season lets give thanks for those things and the tender mercies that happen in our life everyday. Just as Christmas is about Christ so should Thanksgiving because without Christ we would have nothing. So lets create ourselves a beautiful season and help others up :)

What are you thankful for this season?  1 Thessalonians 5:18  In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. My God, I have never thanked You for my thorns. I have thanked You a thousand times for my roses, but never once for my thorns. Teach me the glory of the cross I bear; teach me the value of my thorns. Show me that I have climbed closer to You along the path of pain. Show me that, through my tears, the colors of Your rainbow look much more brilliant. Lets be thankful for all that happens to us. The sad and the happy times. We can learn and we grow from it all.

Parable of the Sower Matthew 13:3-9 , 18-23 ; Mark 4:3-9 , 14-20 ; Luke 8:4-8 , 11-15 sow- to plant seeds wayside- hard ground that has been walked on (such as a path or road) devoured- ate withered away- died These are all interpretations that I have come up with from the scriptures or my own: The seed means- the word of God wayside means- those that hear but Satan comes and takes the belief away stony places means- those that hear but don't have a place to put forth their roots and then fall into temptation among thorns means- those that hear but are choked by the things of the world good ground means- those that hear and take it to heart and are living the word of God So choose your soil. Are you going to be the wayside or the road? Or the rocks? Or the thorns? Or will you choose to be the good ground and plant the word of God into your heart and let it grow? None of the soils in the parable had to stay in the condition it was in. We choose what soil we ar...
