In this episode I share an opportunity my family and I had to be kinder with our words.  We noticed how we are so willing serve each other but we wanted to serve better with our words when it can be challenging if someone says something or does something we don't like.  As we spoke kinder we noticed how powerful it was to the way we feel and think about each other. It was beautiful and inviting openness and the spirit.  I am grateful for that opportunity and hope to do it more with each other. Let us be kind in our thoughts, words, and actions. Kindness begins with me I want to ..read more

In this episode I share how I want to be better at enduring my trials better.  Bruce R. McConkie is great example of enduring trials as a way to show his faith in Heavenly Father.  He wanted to endure this trial by giving his life to the Lord and his family. It would be just another test in life that he wanted to do well for his Father in Heaven. I was very humbled by this. His faith was so promoting to me as I have felt like I can’t bear things that are more minor than that. With the Savior’s help I want to believe He is walking beside me lifting my spirit. Our trials won’t last for ..read more

As I was praying about this metaphor I had a feeling come over me about this “box.” The box of my mind. If this is the box I am going to be in right now, why not make it more enjoyable? Not, change everything about it or fake the reality of it. Let me make small changes to make it more enjoyable. Fill it with what ignites my soul for spiritual moments and enjoying my life. I enjoy it the most when my focus is on the Lord. Moroni 9:25 25. My son, be faithful in Christ; and may not the things which I have written grieve thee, to weigh thee down unto death; but may Christ lift thee up, and may hi ..read more

In this episode I share a great topic about imagining the Lord next to you when praying, reading scriptures, and in our interactions. I loved this point given by Wendy Nelson in her book, Rock Solid Relationships.  When I imagine the Lord in my daily life I feel His presence and guidance helping me become a better me.  Try to imagine Him with you and see how it impacts your relationships, goals, and struggles.  Jesus Christ loves us and wants us to succeed ..read more

In this episode I share some of my thoughts on how to slow down this season.  I am trying to focus less on the rush and more on how I can connect with my family. Taking the time to slow down, connect as a family, and reach towards the words and life of Jesus Christ is the most important thing this season. Slow down, listen to the spirit and each other, and give your heart this season. Merry Christmas ..read more
