Raising the Righteous Generation

No man knows, even the angels in Heaven, when Jesus Christ will return to the earth, but we are counseled to always be prepared. What if it's our kids that will welcome the Savior when the Second Coming arrives?

Taking a break

I've been taking a break from social media for the past two weeks.

Answered Questions from #LDSConf

I saw a blog friend Jocelyn do this on her blog and it inspired me to collect the answers I received during General Conference.

Don't forget to say "I missed you"

When Cheyenne started kindergarten I waited with bated breath everyday for her to return home from school.

Preparing for General Conference

I recently read an article about preparing our families and children for General Conference. I picked out some of my favorite ideas and recorded them here (you can see the full text of the article here).

Tender Impressions from the Women's Session

I like to listen to the General Women's Session alone in my room, because it becomes a deeply personal and spiritual experience for me.

Waiting

We're going on our third year living in this rental house. While it's not what I had planned, it feels like this is the house we are supposed to be living in right now. But for a future-planning person like myself I have spent many days moping about, frustrated, and hoping for something to change and for this period of waiting and unsettled-ness to be over.

Instagram Update 9/17/17

This scripture has been such a motivation to me the last several weeks after Ben and I first read it together.  It's amazing to me to think that my faith, the small and simple actions I take within my own home, and my own personal habits of faith, can actually benefit other people for good. This scripture refers to Abinadi, a prophet in the Book of Mormon who preached the Gospel to a people who were very unreceptive, and they eventually took his life. I don't imagine he knew while he was alive the impact he had on Alma, someone who was listening to Abinadi's words who eventually changed the course of his life, forsook sin, and led many to do likewise. Your habits are really not "personal" at all, and can benefit everyone! #sharegoodness #livebyfaith
