As a child, I sang songs in Primary about trying to be like Jesus and listened to lessons about serving and being kind. I remember using the phrase, “What Would Jesus Do?” as a guide as I contemplated telling my grandma that I had just broken her window while playing basketball in her driveway. Being […]

Since writing for A Worldwide Sisterhood this year, I usually have a topic or two in mind as my week for sharing approaches. And the closer it gets, the clearer my topic becomes, and words begin to flow. I had two topics in mind for today’s post, but in the last few weeks, life has
In every sunrise and sunset, in every piece of artwork that speaks to my heart, in every stranger that smiles, I see Him. In every bout of laughter, in every song of a bird, in every kind word that is spoken, I hear Him. In every warm embrace, in every drop of rain, in every

Sometimes it seems like I want to save myself. If I make a list and hold myself accountable to it, I can change any bad habit, right? I just need to have the “will power” to do what I say I will do — then I can change. Then I can become better. Then I

The more time I spend with my energetic toddlers, the more I suspect that motherhood is part of our path of discipleship because it helps teach us to be like our Father (who deals with our spiritual toddlerhood.) I found that even the messes they make have become my tutor. It was late in the
I love how every time I read the scriptures, a different word or phrase seems to jump out at me. It’s such a testimony to me that God knows exactly who we are and where we are at in our lives. A few months ago, the repeating phrase I kept encountering was ‘do not fear.’
