Right HERE

Disgruntled
Down again. The rabbit hole
Not content
Who will come confirm you whole?

Uncertain
Looking for a new way through the pain
Confusion
Is it you or is everyone insane?

Acceptance
Who am I to make any rules?
Rejection
Mocked, I am one of many fools

Obstacles
Who among you are my friends
Deceptions
Your fears trouble you again

Unsettled
I have one place to go
Repentant
Praying for the Spirit to show

Objective
I write all my doubts and fears down
Perspective
Now, only joy is circling around

Peace knowing the Way is Right HERE
All truths point back to Him
Flee troubling paths, the gospel's clear
Partake of His love again

Spiritual Survival- Tune In

 

I heard the advice again!

This time with ears to hear

This added witness given

The call for action's here

Conference is wonderful

The spirit is felt, tune in

For, they do more than fill

Those impressions? Yes, do, them

We will not spiritually survive

In the coming days ahead

Unless we change our lives

To act on the spirit and be led

If we're to not be deceived

We must feel the spirit always

It is not enough just to believe

For Satan is now cunning in more ways

In such a great time as this

With so many tools for ease

There's also a constant noise

Crowding out spiritual peace

Pray and give thanks often

Fill your mind with God's words

Receive Light to act on

Stay where the spirit's heard

distractions

obstacles

deceptions

These are Satan's tools

Is it any wonder

We've the commandments,

Covenants,

AND the beatitudes?

Good Morning

The bees live in this old bird bath.

Pondering sage advice

I went for a morning walk

I saw the roadrunner twice

And heard the sounds of nature talk

The sun was over the horizon 🌞 

Today will be a blistering one  🔥 

God's creatures know when to venture around

And greet the dawn with their traveling sounds

It's going to be 115°. I saw a lizard, our front yard bees,  bunnies, a humming bird, a dove, a pigeon, geese flying overhead and my favorite roadrunner.

If i slept in I would have missed it!

Except for the bees who will be fanning their hive entrance with their wings. 

Tap Into Life

Tap into that light

That fills you with life

Pray with all your might

Find the love to strive

Tap into living water

Found in Holy Writ

The love of Heavenly Father

Reaches deep within

Tap into His insight

Listen and obey

Trust all will be alright

All will be okay

Tap into the good part

That inspires man

Pray. Believe. God will impart

To you a plan

Why limit yourself

To just a narrow view?

Seek the Lord for help

What would He have you do?

Pursue His love and blessings

Enjoy this life with faith

Each sin is for addressing

Learn the lesson and gain strength

Joseph Smith did all this

For he understood

That when you tap into a tree

It is ever good

You need a little patience

Past the cold seasons of life

The flow is felt warmly

As your Spirit comes alive

[Verse 1] Tap into that light That fills you with life Pray with all your might Find the love to strive Tap into living water Found in Holy Writ The love of Heavenly Father Reaches deep within [Pre-Chorus] Tap into His insight Listen and obey Trust all will be alright All will be okay [Chorus] Tap into life (Tap into life) Pray and believe Pray and believe God will impart God will impart A plan for you A plan for you [Verse 2] Tap into the good part That inspires man Pray. Believe. God will impart To you a plan Why limit yourself To just a narrow view? Seek the Lord for help What would He have you do? [Pre-Chorus] Pursue His love and blessings Enjoy this life with faith Each sin is for addressing Learn the lesson and gain strength [Chorus] Tap into life (Tap into life) Pray and believe Pray and believe God will impart God will impart A plan for you A plan for you [Bridge] Joseph Smith did all this For he understood That when you tap into a tree It is ever good You need a little patience Past the cold seasons of life The flow is felt warmly As your Spirit comes alive [Final Chorus] Tap into life (Tap into life) Pray and believe Pray and believe God will impart God will impart A plan for you A plan for you

The song uses a maple tree sap-tapping metaphor to describe spiritual connection, explicitly referencing Joseph Smith’s prayer from James 1:5 that led to divine revelation.

God's Perfect Plan- The Only Plan

Satan interjected himself above God's plan

For show, he rejected FREE agency of man

Challenging, he opposed God with open hostility

Pride grew and 1/3 arrose trusting in his ability

War should not, shall not exist ever in Heaven!

The rebellious were cast out- even driven!

Mortality is a covenant MORAL choice

To gain a body and progress, HOW we all rejoiced!

Jesus was chosen to execute God's plan

Perfectly to live and to atone for every man

Through trial and error we would learn who we truly are

Repenting as needed looking to our Savior never far

Ever Heavenly Father's plan

Is for our happiness

Perfectly, through Jesus, man

Can eternally be blessed

Verse 1] Satan interjected himself Above God's plan For show, he rejected free agency Of man Challenging, he opposed God With open hostility Pride grew and one-third arrose Trusting in his ability [Pre-Chorus] War should not, shall not exist Ever in Heaven! The rebellious were cast out Even driven! [Chorus] Ever Heavenly Father's plan Is for our happiness Perfectly, through Jesus, man Can eternally be blessed Ever Heavenly Father's plan Is for our happiness Through Jesus Christ, our Savior We are lifted, we are blessed [Verse 2] Mortality is a covenant A moral choice To gain a body and progress We all rejoiced Jesus was chosen to execute God's plan Perfectly to live and to atone For every man [Pre-Chorus] Through trial and error We would learn who we truly are Repenting as needed Looking to our Savior never far [Chorus] Ever Heavenly Father's plan Is for our happiness Perfectly, through Jesus, man Can eternally be blessed Ever Heavenly Father's plan Is for our happiness Through Jesus Christ, our Savior We are lifted, we are blessed [Bridge] When we wander, call us back When we fall, He stays Mercy reaches through the dark And changes all our ways Not by pride, but by His grace We return again Chosen, healed, and home in Him From beginning to amen [Final Chorus] Ever Heavenly Father's plan Is for our happiness Perfectly, through Jesus, man Can eternally be blessed Ever Heavenly Father's plan Is for our happiness Through Jesus Christ, our Savior We are lifted, we are blessed

Ask in Faith

May the Holy Ghost assist
As we consider meaningful prayer
For when we have faith, we enlist
All of heaven's blessing and care

An example of great faith
Was given to us by young Joseph
Who asked and did not abraid
When he read the first word- if

He believed the words of James
And wanted to know what should be done
With churches of many names
He could not decide on anyone

He went to a grove of trees
And sought prayer after pondering
He humbly expressed his pleas
In him, there was nothing wavering

For faith without works is dead
If there's but one-way interaction
He knew on where his thoughts led
T'wards Jesus Christ and righteous action

When we have increased capacity
Wells of knowledge flow and inspire
To live our lives spiritually
There's power in faith filled desire

A prayer of faith might include
A review of all we've been given
With thoughts based on gratitude
This is the way each prayer should begin

When we pray for missionaries
It also mean we pray to give aid
With faith we will find who carries
A prepared heart with some questions laid

We pray too for the needy
For those who are sick and afflicted
May we do whatever needs be
To show God's love's unrestricted

We each have known anxiety
We can turn to God and petition
When we fear propriety
And become stuck in hesitation

Prayers are consecrated work
Expressed to our Father in Heaven
Prayers of faith require effort
We're not finished when we say "amen"

As we follow this pattern
We are blessed to recognize and act
On the things that we discern
We can seek help to complete our pact

Sometimes prayers may be denied
For we'll not oft receive a witness
Until our faith has been tried
And we increase spiritual fitness

"Not my will, but Thine, be done"
Though hard it is to accept God's will
We can bear as did the Son
In faith, we've prayers of peace that are still

[Verse 1] Ask in Faith May the Holy Ghost assist As we consider prayer For when we've faith, we'll enlist All of heaven's blessing Which lie there [Pre-Chorus] With faith we'll know What should be done We go to God And not to none Nothing wavering He hears the plea Our hearts lean in On bended knee [Chorus] Ask in Faith Ask in Faith He will guide the way Ask in Faith Ask in Faith Then rise and obey [Verse 2] He asked and did not abraid Young Joseph sought the grove He read the first word And still he wanted to know If he believed the words of James He would not turn aside He looked to Jesus Christ And let righteous action ride [Pre-Chorus] For faith without works is dead And prayers are consecrated work We are not finished When we say amen in the church We speak with effort We kneel with care Then watch for light Already there [Chorus] Ask in Faith Ask in Faith He will guide the way Ask in Faith Ask in Faith Then rise and obey [Verse 3] Begin with gratitude For all we've been given Then lift the names Of those who need His healing Missionaries, the needy The sick and the worn Hearts prepared And burdens borne [Bridge] Not my will, but Thine, be done Though hard it is to bear Some prayers are answered After faith is made aware When our faith is tried We grow more still In prayer of peace We learn His will [Chorus] Ask in Faith Ask in Faith He will guide the way Ask in Faith Ask in Faith Then rise and obey

Mark 4: 39
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind,
and said unto the sea, Peace, be still.
And the wind ceased, and there was
a great calm.

James 1: 5-6
5 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.

6 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.


Ether 12: 6
6 And now, I, Moroni, would speak
somewhat concerning these things;
I would show unto the world that
faith is things which are hoped for
and not seen;
wherefore, dispute not because ye see not,
for ye receive no witness until after
the trial of your faith.

We Must Be Born Again

May we sing to thee, Thy spiritually reborn?
Prepared and immersed, bless us and adorn.
We want to be more transparently clean.
Baptism transformed us to a new sheen

We want to show faith, and make use of priesthood
Till saturated, continually good.
Blessed as new creatures, from this mighty change,
Help thoughts and desires be pure, rearranged.

May we absorb truths, keep covenants that protect.
Seek line upon line, precept on precept.
Help us stay renewed, with motives refined.
Imperceptibly, with Thee more aligned.

May might, mind, and strength help us take on Christ’s name.
When we do much good, we're never the same.
Complete burial, total immersion.
When we are reborn, it's by conversion.

We speak from the soul with renewed energy,
To all in the land, the bond and the free.
Culminate our steps to change and transform.
Born to preach of Christ, we'll cry and forewarn.

Dear Father shed forth to all who now are true,
More gratitude for the Holy Ghost, too.
Help us feel it warn, when we are amiss.
We want to stay clean and sealed with promise.
