Cultivating My Testimony of Jesus, the Christ.

We are nothing without Christ. His grace and mercy affords me the opportunity to demonstrate my gratitude and to learn to be like Him.

A testimony is the personal assurance of Jesus Christ’s divinity, that Jesus is the Christ.  Paul wrote, “faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17).  To gain a testimony we must hear of Christ.  We must pray for divine conformation as witnessed by the Holy Ghost.  We must be willing to act on the answers we receive.  Alma taught that we must “experiment upon [the] words… even until ye believe in a manner ye can give place for a portion of [the] word” (Alma 32:27).  We must be willing to open our hearts… we must have a desire to know.

Family Friday

Returned with Honor

The story of my son  and his mission service is a little like Paul or Alma.  As a young teen he became disenchanted with the church and the gospel of Jesus Christ.  He did not attend church for many years.  It grieved my soul.  However, when I would pray about what i could do, a… Continue reading Returned with Honor

Yesterday I spent time servicing kids.  I served my own kids.  I served kids at school.  I served kids at work.

Theatre Thursday

Unlocking Potential Through Theater Education

Studying theatre can be a great starting point for careers such as teaching, law, and politics, not to mention broadcasting and performing. If this is the case why are classes in the performing arts the first classes on the chopping block when budgets get tight. This week I had the opportunity to speak to the… Continue reading Unlocking Potential Through Theater Education

#bethelight – Day 37

Worked on forgiveness yesterday.  I am still a work in progress when it comes to forgiveness. Jesus taught: "Suffer the little children to come unto me."  —Mark 10:14 Jesus loved little children. We can each brighten the life of a child simply by taking the time to show that we care. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=d8sY_5ttxL4   I spend a… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 37

Warrior Wednesday

A Warrior Continues to Forgive

Once upon a time I thought that forgiveness indicated that whatever action a person did was acceptable.  This thought made forgiveness hard.  As I gain more understanding and wisdom, I realize that this is not forgiveness.  I am discovering that forgiveness is letting go.  Forgiving is an ongoing practice for me. A warrior forgives because… Continue reading A Warrior Continues to Forgive

#bethelight – Day 36

Yesterday was about honoring your parents.  I went through my day honoring my parents by doing the things I saw/see them do. Jesus taught: "Judge not, that ye be not judged."  —Matthew 7:1 Only Jesus lived a sinless life. We should show compassion when others make mistakes, and we trust that others will show us compassion… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 36

#bethelight – Day 35

Yesterday I served at school... I served at home... I served random people along my path.  It was a good day. Jesus taught:   "Honour thy father and mother."  —Matthew 15:4 We shouldn’t wait for Mother’s Day or Father’s Day to express our love to our parents. We can show appreciation year-round by serving them and… Continue reading #bethelight – Day 35
