After a LONG break from the blogging world, I am back online.
I think this will be more journaling of thoughts and feelings and questions about being a better mother, a kinder wife, and a covenant daughter of God.
So, to start.
Last week, DH and I attended the LDS Special Broadcast:The Work of Salvation for Hastening the Work of Salvation. It was AMAZING! I felt God's perfect love. His desires for ALL His children to hear His word and Feel His love is evident. Our desires to serve a full time mission is full in our hearts. There is something wonderful when the Spirit of God lights inside. It ignites the desire to Serve Him, to spread Joy, to Teach about His Son.
I am so grateful I attended. I almost didn't. I had dropped DH off at the chapel and debated staying, but concluded that the children needed me at home and I could prepare for family council later that night. About 10 minutes before the broadcast began, I received a text from my sister asking if I was going to the broadcast. I texted DH and asked if he would like me to join him. Yes. And then the little thought that my best place is to be with him there at the broadcast.
So, a few things my heart picked up that I needed to remember:
1. Being a mother, my first place to teach the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, is here at home to my children (D&C 68:25-28).
2. Being a member missionary is everyday in actions and words.
3. Pray everyday for opportunities to share His restored Gospel and He will give them to me.
4. The Lord uses imperfect people to help His work go forward. If I give my best, and follow the Spirit the best I can, He makes up the difference.
5. He is hastening His work, and I get to be apart of it.
I am SO SO SO grateful to be a member of His Restored Church. I know it is true. I know that all truths in fullness are found here. I know that living prophets are on the earth again. I know that God and Christ speak to these prophets who speak to us today. I know that by the power of the Holy Ghost ANYONE and EVERYONE can know for themselves and not for another. Being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints makes me happy. Truly, truly HAPPY.
