Kids and Christmas

I've been trying to figure out what I want to do with this blog. I stopped posting, honestly, because everyone else did. But, it doesn't mean that I haven't had Spiritual experiences since September. I've been feeling as though I still need to do something like this, the missionaries even challenge my husband and I to get out there, spiritually, on the web. I told them I used to write weekly on a Spiritual blog and then I realized how much I missed writing my experiences down. Sheesh! Leave it to the missionaries to remind me of a Spiritual purpose! :)

Anywho, I watched this today and it sums up the wonder of the Christmas season. I love this time of year when we can openly discuss the Savior and His role in the Plan of Happiness. I also love the pure, simple testimonies of these children. It's no wonder that we are encouraged to be like a little child.

Voice of the Lord

If ya'll haven't seen this yet, check it out:

Motherhood: An Eternal Partnership with God

This is the newest Mormon Messages video. I know I've needed words of encouragement on those days when my two-year-old tries my patience. Even those who aren't mothers yet are mothers at heart. We help our nieces, nephews, brothers, sisters, cousins, ward members to be better through our divine qualities of Motherhood. In using these qualities we grow closer to the Lord.

Enjoy!

Book of Mormon/ You Tube Challenge

Don't forget to go and watch Elder Holland's testimony of the Book of Mormon. Like and comment on the video so it's popularity increases. Here's the {LINK} and here's the video:

He Lives

In finding the link for my post today, I came across this:

He Lives

I love Easter. I love Easter because I love my Savior--our Savior, Jesus Christ.

How Can I Be?

I enjoyed this song and thought you guys would enjoy it, too.

Trusting in the Lord

In the last year, the church set up a 'Mormon Messages' channel on You-Tube. If you haven't had the chance to check it out, do! This week, I've been thinking a lot about the Lord's purpose for us. Our lesson this upcoming Sunday is about Zion's Camp. Originally, these men believed they were marching to Missouri to avenge this misplaced saints and take back the land that was rightfully theirs. The Lord was with them the whole way, but because of the Saints' lack of understanding the Law of Consecration, Zion's redemption was to be in 'a little season' (see D&C 105).

Some of the members of Zion's camp, and the Saints they were coming to help, were upset about this revelation; why did they have to suffer when they were trying to live righteously? They did not understand that the Lord had a different timetable for them. His true purpose of Zion's Camp was to test and strengthen the faith of the Church's future leaders. Nine of the twelve original apostles and all of the members of the seventy marched on Zion's Camp. That is no concidence.

I guess my point is that the Lord's timetable is the one we should be looking for. We may think we're ready, or not ready, for something to happen but the Lord has purposes behind when certain events come to pass. A lot of families can relate to the family in this video; myself---to a certain degree---included. When it's the hardest for us to do, we need to step back and say what am I learning from this trial? The Lord knows us better than we know ourselves; he knows what we need as this moment to learn and grow. We just need to trust in Him and everything will work out for our benefit.
