One Word

All of us want to improve. ALL OF US. We all have a desire to be better, set goals and accomplish them.
 
But oftentimes, we set goals, and get either discouraged, lazy or inconsistent. They just don't happen.
 
So, following the advice given in "One word that will Change your life"
 
 Instead of making a list of 10 goals that you will give up on in the next month,
pick ONE WORD.
 
Pick one word, that you can live by for the next year.
 
It can be any word.
Something that you can revolve your efforts around.
Something to inspire, motivate and help you grow.
Something you need to work on.
 
"So how might I pick this word?" You may ask.....
 
1. Look in
ask yourself, what do I need?
2.Look up
Ask your Heavenly Father. Seek his guidance!
3. Look out
Look to the world around you for ideas
 
When you have picked your word, put it Everywhere!
Backgrounds, on your mirror, your cell phone etc.
 
Then, post your word! Let me know what It is. Submit it in the comments section of my blog, or on my Facebook.
 
Remember, it all starts with a thought.
 
"Sow a thought, you reap an action; sow an act and you reap a habit; sow a habit and you reap a character; Sow a character and you reap a destiny"
 -Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
Pick it. Live it. Love it.

Stop it!

Recently, a video was released by the church about bullying.
I encourage....No, I beg each of you to watch it.
 
Each of us has a divine potential.
Each of us have a purpose.
EACH OF US have a Father in Heaven who created us perfectly in his eyes, with the potential of becoming like him one day.
 
"Brothers and sisters, there is enough heartache and sorrow in this life without our adding to it through our own stubbornness, bitterness, and resentment."
 
 
This video has pricked at my heart. For many different reasons.
 
 I have found myself on the receiving and the giving end of this situation, I am sure we all have.
 
We have each been hurt, by the hurtful words or actions of others.
We have also all hurt somebody else by what we do.
 
There may be times we have offended somebody, and we are not aware of it.
 
To the counsel that President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, Second Counselor in the First Presidency, I add my fervent plea.
 
Before you say or do anything....Ask yourself:
Is it kind?
Is it true?
Is it necessary?
 
"Remember, heaven is filled with those who have this in common: They are forgiven. And they forgive."
 
We have all needed the redemptive power of forgiveness in our lives. We have all needed that change of heart. In the end, it will be,

Courage

Being strong is not always easy.
Neither is having courage.
But when we put our trust in the Lord, we will be delivered.
 
 
And like Esther, nations, can be saved by your courage :)
 
" who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?" -Esther 4:14

Meet The Mormons

 
Meet Nayra.
She is amazing. She was baptized about 2 months ago into the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. She is one of the strongest people I know.
Not only does she have excellent taste in striped shirts, she has an incredible testimony.
 
She isn't the one wearing the missionary name-tag, but she does missionary work just as much as we do. Since her baptism she has come out with us as missionaries to teach, and help others. She was the first one in her family to join the church, and in result they are learning about the church as well.
 
 She has already changed so many live, including ours.
 
You don't have to have a name-tag to be a missionary, or even a Mormon.
 
Nayra is a Mormon. I am a Mormon. Meet us, ask us questions. You will be surprised how much we have in common :)
