You Are Enough

This is a phrase that I'm going to have to keep reminding myself everyday, most likely for the rest of my life. I have a hard time believing that I do enough, that I am enough. Especially as I prepare to serve a full time mission in Tennessee, I keep having doubts whether I am going to be a good enough missionary, if I'm prepared enough, if I really have what it takes.

So for those of you who are wondering any of these questions in your own life and circumstances, wondering if you are enough, if you have what it takes, if you are doing enough, or any version of these questions, let me tell you, and myself, You ARE enough!

President Monson has said this:
"Remember that this work is not yours and mine alone. It is the Lord's work, and when we are on the Lord's errand, we are entitled to the Lord's help. Remember that whom the Lord calls, the Lord qualifies."

The Lord loves us and doesn't want to see us fail. As we turn to Him and seek His help and guidance in all that we do, He won't let us down! I know this is true!

Happy Tuesday!

    This is exactly what I needed to hear today, so thank you! I've been having the same doubts as I also prepare to be a full-time missionary. Thank you for this reminder! And I'm so excited about your mission call! I know that you will be a great missionary and that the Lord will help you! You are awesome!

Come Listen to a Prophet's Voice

Image
General Conference has always been a family event for my family. We would have family travel from out of state just to come and listen to prophets and apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints speak to the world. One of our family's tradition is to have M&Ms while watching and playing Conference Bingo. I can't imagine watching conference without one or both during most if not all sessions. I have always loved Conference. Their words inspired and lift me. Even though they are speaking to millions of people all over the world, they somehow know just what to say that soothes my soul and is exactly what I need in my life. Topics range every session of Conference from missionary work to families, from marriage to pornography, from grieving to happiness. Just about every Gospel topic that members of the Church need at this time is covered. If you have any questions or doubts in your mind about the Gospel or struggling with anything in your life, I challenge ...

His Hand in Your Life

Image
I was talking with a friend earlier this week about life and how we got to where we are right now. It got me thinking a lot about how the Lord's hand has directly guided my life. We don't always know why things happen the way they do. Actually most of the time we don't understand that, but the Lord knows. He will choose to tell us when we need to know, even if that isn't until the next life. I know that everything happens for a reason. I have had my share of frustrating moments where I wish I knew why things happen the way the way they do right now, but I'm grateful that the Lord is in charge of everything. I seriously have been able to see how the Lord has connected different events in my life. One thing didn't happen the way I had hoped, but it led to other things that helped take my life in a better, but different direction. It's like these dominoes here.   If I was in charge of my life, it would have led my life in the path to the left,...

In Christ Alone

Image
 Hello there!  I have been deciding for three months what my first post back from the mission should be about. It has been hard to decide and I finally realized what it needed to be about - our Savior Jesus Christ.  Before my mission, I knew my Savior was there for me. He had helped me during my hard times, especially when Mom passed away, and I felt the "balm in Gilead" heal me. But I had never truly realized that He could help me change, truly change.  During the summer of 2014 at BASEcamp, we sang a song made popular by Owl City "In Christ Alone". It's actually an old Christian song sung in many different congregations all over. I had never heard it until Owl City sang it. The words have made an impact on me. I have listened to it hundreds of times, but was reminded of the significance as I listened to it again tonight.     Listen to it while you read the words below: In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song; This C...
