Am I truly a follower of Christ?

Romans 2: 28-29

28 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

29 But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

The Lord tells us that it matters not what we say, it, is not what makes us Christians so much, as it matters what we do and where our hearts are, that makes us Christians and members of his church.

Just when you thought you were lost there is the Lord...

PSALM 117


1 O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

2 For his merciful kindness is great toward us: and the truth of the Lord endureth for ever. Praise ye the Lord.



He truly does know just what or who we need in our lives. I can only say Father, Thank You for hearing my prayers yet again. I have never been alone in this trial, I see that now... thank you for the bridge which has brought me here !!!

Just when you think you're lost the Lord is there...

Great is the worth of souls...

Doctrine & Covenants 18: 10-19

10 Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God; 11 For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him. 12 And he hath risen again from the dead, that he might bring all men unto him, on conditions of repentance. 13 And how great is his joy in the soul that repenteth!
14 Wherefore, you are called to cry repentance unto this people. 15 And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father! 16 And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me! 17 Behold, you have my gospel before you, and my rock, and my salvation. 18 Ask the Father in my name, in faith believing that you shall receive, and you shall have the Holy Ghost, which manifesteth all things which are expedient unto the children of men.
19 And if you have not faith, hope, and charity, you can do nothing.

The Lord is telling us "How great is the worth of souls." Every one we see no matter their situation in life, He loves us all. We can't look at others and decide they would not fit in or accept the gospel, we need to seek out everyone and offer them the gospel. How great will be our joy in the next life with those we share the truth with.

1st Nephi 14:14

And it came to pass that I, Nephi, beheld the power of the Lamb of God, that it descended upon the saints of the church of the Lamb, and upon the covenant people of the Lord, who were scattered upon all the face of the earth; and they were armed with righteousness and with the power of God in great glory.

When I first took notice of this scripture, over a year ago, it helped me to not fear for the Saints (myself included). For tho our numbers are few Father in Heaven is on our side. I heard it said once, "One plus GOD is enough". I am trying to remember this now in this uncertain future we are facing.

The Lords Promises...

D&C 11:6-8

6 Now, as you have asked, behold, I say unto you, keep my commandments, and seek to bring forth and establish the cause of aZion.

7 Seek not for riches but for wisdom; and, behold, the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto you, and then shall you be made rich. Behold, he that hath eternal life is rich.

8 Verily, verily, I say unto you, even as you desire of me so it shall be done unto you; and, if you desire, you shall be the means of doing much good in this generation.

The Lord promises we can be the means of doing much good in the world if we keep His commandments. He will grant unto us that which we righteously desire. He promises to lead us to do good if we place our trust in Him. He promises to enlighten our minds and fill our souls with joy. I know the Holy ghost is the way He accomplishes this promise. I love giving to others, not because I am any great person, but because I am a "good feelings" junkie !! There is no greater high then bringing joy to another. So I wonder does it negate the good you do when you do it because it makes you happy?

Life is not for the faint of heart...

This blog is for me. I am, as I tell Hill, on an adventure. The next part of my life is a mystery to me. I have no idea where I'm going, for the first time in my adult life. I used to be a planner, not any more, because plans don't always work out, and there is nothing more disheartening than a plan gone wrong. So from here on in it's just me and Hill on an adventure, a journey to where ever life leads.

3 Nephi 18:20
And whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is right believeing that ye shall receive behold it shall be given unto you.

The Lord has promised us our righteous desires, I will try no to fear.
