Be quickened for good
And do your part
So filled with gratitude

At My Lowest Point
At my lowest point
Unsure in every way
I found God's church and joined
And feel His peace today
Thoughts from a converts words.
You never know who is in need of the gospel NOW!

It's the Small Things
Midst life's blessings
As trials mount
It's the small things
That really count
Prayer, scripture study, family council, temple and sacrament attendance...

And are blessed by how we live them

Obey First

Endure. Feast.
Find peace and rest.
I was pondering keeping the Sabbath Day holy. Last week I was sick. I spent the whole day doing lesson plans with a partial brain. I will have to do next weeks tonight. At least, for now, I am keeping the Sabbath and writing with the spirit. I love taking notes from what I hear at church and seeing where they might lead for writing.

Some blessings are withheld
For our eternal growth
They test if we'll still yield
To God and keep each oath

He gave His life in service
And He did so out of love
To this end was His purpose

Submission
After doing all I could
There was only one thing still
I called upon our God
And surrendered to His will
My Heart Breaks

We Are Saved
Just like we came into this world
Individually, we are saved
Through rebirth unto the Lord
Death's homeward path is paved
Talk of Christ
Let us talk of Christ
And serve to be like Him
We spread His Word
When we've His Light within
2Nephi 25:23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.

2Nephi 25:23 For we labor diligently to write, to persuade our children, and also our brethren, to believe in Christ, and to be reconciled to God; for we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.
24 And, notwithstanding we believe in Christ, we keep the law of Moses, and look forward with steadfastness unto Christ, until the law shall be fulfilled.
25 For, for this end was the law given; wherefore the law hath become dead unto us, and we are made alive in Christ because of our faith, yet we keep the law because of the commandments.
26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.
27 Wherefore, we speak concerning the law that our children may know the deadness of the law; and they, by knowing the deadness of the law, may look forward unto that life which is in Christ, and know for what end the law was given. And after the law is fulfilled in Christ, that they need not harden their hearts against him when the law ought to be done away.
28 And now behold, my people, ye are a stiffnecked people; wherefore, I have spoken plainly unto you, that ye cannot misunderstand. And the words which I have spoken shall stand as a testimony against you; for they are sufficient to teach any man the right way; for the right way is to believe in Christ and deny him not; for by denying him ye also deny the prophets and the law.
29 And now behold, I say unto you that the right way is to believe in Christ, and deny him not; and Christ is the Holy One of Israel; wherefore ye must bow down before him, and worship him with all your might, mind, and strength, and your whole soul; and if ye do this ye shall in nowise be cast out.
30 And, inasmuch as it shall be expedient, ye must keep the performances and ordinances of God until the law shall be fulfilled which was given unto Moses.

Withheld
The spirit was gone
Withheld for a space
I righted the wrong
What love I embraced!
His absence makes the heart
Grow to appreciate
The answers He imparts
As you don't deviate
Come to the Knowing

You're in the right place!

And lead you in His Light

Keep Your Lamp Lit
Build up your testimony strong and deep
There are commandments you must keep
Live your covenants they help you along
You have the Lord, the Master Builder Strong,
To help you, when you are in the wrong

Intentional Prayer
We cannot afford
To miss out on prayer
To speak to the Lord
And be in His care
So bow down and pray
And answers will come
To guide you all day
To improve and become
For, at the very moment
That God hears your humble prayer
His eyes and ears are with you
And you are fully in His care
There is no other resource
That blesses you anytime, anywhere
That can set you on a course
So immeasurably good to share
Stronger and more loving relationship
Pursue his love and blessings
Enjoy the time since with faith
Tap into that light
That fills you with life
with a sincere heart
Give him everything you have
Think, converse, and do more
Give him everything you have
Think, converse, and do more
than repetitiously ask
