I loved Elder Devin G. Durrant's talk and his amazing idea of ponderizing. I thought "Why not put that as our Motivation Monday?!" It is so important to not only listen to conference the day of but to follow through with the teachings and take them into our lives everyday thereafter. Al (fox) Carraway said this on one of her insta posts "Be the type of person that shares the gospel online when it's not #ldsconf." So true and will be so rewarding if we do so. So the scripture I chose for this week to ponderize is Mosiah 3:19. it says... " For the natural man is an enemy to God, and has been from the fall of Adam, and will be, forever and ever, unless he yields to the enticings of the Holy Spirit, and puteth off the natural man and becometh a saint through the atonement of Christ the Lord, and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child doth submit to his father." Elder Durrant said " 80% extended pondering, 20% memorizing. Create a higher place for your thoughts to go." Try not to get too overwhelmed of the memorization part, ponder the meaning. I hope you will decide to join in on the ponderizing. I know a lot of good will come out of it. Hope you all have an awesome week! Much love.

The dictionary definition of happiness says: Pleasure, contentment, satisfaction, cheerfulness, joy, glee, delight. It seems so simple yet in reality, is so hard to TRULY find. I am nowhere close to being an expert at these 'Motivation Mondays' and my real purpose and goal in these is to share my testimony on what I have personally experienced. I will never share anything fake or put on a facade. We are all human. Finding happiness hasn't always been easy for me. About 4-5 months ago was when I struggled to even comprehend what that word was. I thought it was nearly impossible. Being clinically diagnosed with depression was the hardest thing I had faced up until that point. Now, how can i talk about happiness when I myself was diagnosed with quite the opposite? I truly began to understand the meaning of the word when I let Christ into my life. I know the atonement works you guys. It is real. I am so grateful for it. No matter where you're at in life right now, it is still possible to find happiness. It can be different for everyone but what I found to help me was to count my blessings. Henry B. Eyring said the most powerful thing "You hold in your hands the happiness of more people than you can imagine." How true that is. I also love this quote below by Sister Hinckley. She was just the cutest little lady. I know that if you pray with all you have and truly pour your little heart out to ask how you can truly find happiness, He will tell you through the Holy Ghost. You just have to be open to the spirit and He will help you. I promise. Have a fab Monday and a fab upcoming week <3

Ponderize Of The Week:
"If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed." - James 1:5-6 Quote Of The Week:
"Give it to God and go to sleep." - Unknown |
