I am a Mormon

"The Heavens will NOT Be filled with those who never made mistakes." Dieter F. Uchtdorf #quotes #spiritual
I saw Meet The Mormons on Friday with some good friends and I loved it!!
It was inspiring and eye-opening to hear and see stories from people of different cultures, ethnic backgrounds and interests that also believe what I do. Everyone is so different and unique, especially in the church. God's kingdom needs every kind of talent and person. I'm thankful that the missionaries are sharing the gospel with every kind of people so that we can all be unified as children of God, all aware of the truth, and all part of building up the kingdom of God. He needs everyone. He wants everyone to come back to Him. He yearns for us all to feel of his love and respect one another.
The movie had a pilot and hero, a humanitarian and leader, a convert and mother, a boxer and teacher, a bishop and father. They were all amazing examples of accepting others (including their faiths, cultures and differences), of serving their fellow men, and of living their standards fully. I'm so thankful to be a Mormon!
there have been more "rain" then we have wanted for years now. But Heavenly Father will bring us rest. We have kept our commandments he has asked us to. It doesn't and won't ever matter what another imperfect person says about me or my family. He knows me and at the end of the day that's all that matters.



I'm so thankful for modern day revelation. General Conference this past week was amazing. I know that Thomas S. Monson is a modern day prophet. Heavenly Father speaks through him in order to bless our lives, give us specific guidance for these times, and to direct the church in fulfilling God and Christ's purpose; to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. By following the commandments we will receive eternal life with our merciful, loving father and with our families forever. God's greatest desire for us is to love his fellow children, live up to our divine potential and reach godhood. He's given us everything needful in this difficult but important quest. We don't have all the answers now, but he's given us a clearly marked path to something celestially glorious down the road. Even with our mistakes and questions, with prayer we can figure out the way back home. The way back is straight and narrow, he won't lead us astray. We might be in the dark, but he'll illuminate the way before us, shining light on what we need to see at the exact time we need it. Faith in Christ and Heavenly Father will bring us true joy, bring to pass miracles, change hearts, strengthen testimonies, shed light and ease burdens. I'm so thankful for this gospel. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

    I enjoy reading your blog. It is kind of out here on the edge of blogger space. By that I mean that a lot of people look for large numbers of comments and likes, etc. But you don't seem concerned with that. Me neither.

    Anyways. Do you have to go on Mission? I am not a Mormon but I have had Mormons friends. I don't really remember much about the going on Mission rules.

The Help by Kathryn Stockett The Help is a great book for young adults and mature teenagers. It is education, funny and insightful. It is 444 pages, but a definite page turner. I rated it 5-stars because it is such a great book. It is basically about how unfairly African-Americans were treated in the 1950s and 60s. It changes perspective about every chapter, but it's fairly easy to follow along. It is from the point of view of 3 women from Jackson, Mississippi in the 1960's. Aibileen, Minny and Miss Skeeter are the narrators. I thought it was unique that it had more than one narrator and it allowed you to understand the story much better. Aibileen (my favorite character) is a black women who is "the Help" to Miss Leefolt. She is kind, wise and smart. Throughout the story she develops a strong bond between Miss Leefolt's little girl, Mae Mobley. Miss Leefolt is very strict and rather  oblivious to Mae Mobley. She doesn't really know how to raise her, so Aibil...

Places

California is warm, humid. It is cool mornings of dolphins emerging from salt water, and surfers catching the dusty turquoise waves. Montana is earthy, wild. It is shy deer, proud bears, and lazy buffalo. It is walking around in cowgirl boots to town, and riding horses through dry grass. San Fransisco is bold, fun. It is the golden gate bridge spanning your imagination and adventure. It is China Town; red, gold, jade. Paris is rich, beautiful. It is modern galleries, and centuries old cathedrals. It is walking, crepe in hand, to a new place that hundreds of years ago, a King walked too.It is watching the Eiffel Tower sparkle like a new constellation that was made just for you. Idaho is comfortable, familiar. It is sitting by your cousin roasting marsh mellows and listening to the river and the crickets.  Utah is different, scenic. It is hot summers, and snowy winters. It is looking at a pink smear of sky, glowing like a constant candle behind navy and ivory mountains. It is ho...

There are so many things that make up a person. I know that "things" isn't the right word, but I can't think of something that adequately describes what a person even  would  be made of. Dreams, accomplishments, interests, regrets, mistakes, wishes, relationships, etc. I love ballet. I want to teach ballet, and I want to dance ballet. It's part of who I am. But my heart also yearns for the actress side of me. The little bite of real acting that I got at the age of ten in a production of Babes in Toyland in Salt Lake City. The countless drives to Ogden for rehearsals of Music Man when I was twelve. The ten-hour dress rehearsals of Jana's plays throughout high school. I miss that. My heart yearns for the flute. The peak of my playing my Senior year when I was practicing daily and could play Carnival of Venice like a pro. When I began to see what my practicing had accomplished and considered going on to play in a symphony. I miss French. Learning an entire other ...
