One talk from this last conference that really stood out to me was M. Russell Ballard's "God is at the helm". He referred to "The old ship Zion" as The Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints. He said that God is at the helm. He directs the church. He will guide us right.
He said that even though it can be difficult to sometimes heed and listen to prophets and apostles... it is SO ESSENTIAL. Click the READ MORE button

The dictionary definition of Fear says: An unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is dangerous, likely to cause pain, or a threat. Synonyms: Terror, fright, horror, alarm, panic, distress, etc. No one likes those feelings, but why do we have them? 2 Nephi 2:27 says : "Wherefore, men are free according to the flesh; and all things are given them which are expedient unto man. And they are free to choose liberty and eternal life, through the great Mediator of all men, or to choose captivity and death, according to the captivity and power of the devil; for he seeketh that all men might be miserable like unto himself." Satan is the creator of these emotions. We need to recognize that those feelings do not come from Jesus Christ or Heavenly Father. Christ brings peace which is the total opposite. We must never mistake the 2. The link below is a Mormon Message called: Men's hearts shall fail them. If you've seen it already, that's okay watch it again! :) If you haven't click away and watch. It is one of my favorites! https://youtu.be/EMwKxmTLaCs I love how Russell M. Nelson said that, "If you've got faith, you can handle difficulties. With an eternal perspective, all will be well. Be patient with yourself, perfection comes not in this life but in the next life. Let the Lord help you." My mom has a quote hung up in her bathroom that says "The scriptures tell us to not fear 365 times, that is a daily reminder from God to live everyday without fear."

Omni 1: 26 "And now, my beloved brethren, I would that ye should come unto Christ, who is the Holy One of Israel, and partake of his salvation, and the power of his redemption. Yea, come unto him, and offer your whole souls as an offering unto him, and continue in fasting and praying, and endure to the end; and as the Lord liveth ye will be saved." 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 |
