Update

Wow, I can't believe my last post was in September of 2023! That's crazy! It couldn't be farther from the truth that I haven't had a spiritual experience or insight since that time. Life has just been so busy that I have been bad about writing it down.

The cliff's notes of current events. We just had our wonderful October general conference session with incredible talks that spoke to my heart! Unfortunately our beloved Pres Nelson had just passed so it was the first time in many years to not have him there. Our new prophet Dallin H Oaks was just set apart this last week as our new prophet and I am excited to learn from him!

I am not going to attempt to catchup all that has happened, but I still want to share that I have a burning testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ! Of his life, atonement, crucifixion, resurrection and the access I have to his love every day!

This morning I am procrastinating a bit as I should be preparing my primary lesson tomorrow, but instead I am paying bills, updating my other blog, which I just finished catching up 3 years in the past week!

Soon I will be getting ready for my temple shift at the Bountiful Temple! Oh how I love to be in the Temple!

I feel like my testimony in serving there these last 4 and a half years has been cemented into my soul. My beliefs have turned into knowledge!

I know longer believe in the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. I know with a surety beyond all shadow of doubt the reality of it.

I am so grateful for so many tender mercies that God has given me in my life. I am not only blessed daily but sometimes hourly!

I know we all are, so we just have to look for the blessings, and we will be astounded by how much we are guided by the Holy Ghost, and helped by angels on the other side of the veil!

As I celebrated my 42nd birthday, I was filled with so much joy. This quote says it all! The blessings I have in my life of being a daughter, granddaughter, wife, dog mom, aunt, sister, accountant, primary worker, temple worker and so much more have blessed me in ways I could never imagine! All I could think of was the song

When upon life's billows you are tempest tossed,

When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,

Count your many blessings, name them one by one,

And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your blessings, see what God hath done;

Count your blessings, name them one by one;

Count your many blessings, see what God hath done.

Are you ever burdened with a load of care?

Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?

Count your many blessings, ev'ry doubt will fly,

And you will be singing as the days go by.

When you look at others with their lands and gold,

Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;

Count your many blessings, money cannot buy

Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.

So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,

Do not be discouraged, God is over all;

Count your many blessings, angels will attend,

Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.

I Have a Testimony

I have a testimony of our Savior Jesus Christ and of our Heavenly Father that they are real. That we were made in their image, that they love us more than we can ever comprehend, and their wish is that we will turn to them in our joys and in our trials. I have a testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ which was restored to the earth by the Prophet Joseph Smith. I have a testimony of the Bible and the Book of Mormon and am a better person because of the truths and learning that have come when I have studied their pages. I have a testimony of a life hereafter. At special times I have felt the presence of those who have since passed away, close to me. I know this mortal life is not the end. I have a testimony that our Savior, Jesus Christ lived and died for us so that we may know how to live to return to live with him and our Father in Heaven for eternity. I have a testimony of our current Prophet, President Russell M Nelson and have felt the spirit strongly in his presence. I have a testimony of our Apostles and learn so much from them with every conference talk. I have a testimony of temples, and the covenants we make with our Heavenly Father there. Temples are truly a House of the Lord in every sense of the phrase. I have a testimony of baptism and the cleansing power it gives because of our Saviors sacrifice for us. I have a testimony of repentance. It is through this process that our Savior and the Holy Ghost can change our hearts and minds for the better. I have a testimony as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, that there is no other place on earth that has the fullness of our Saviors gospel and priesthood authority to administer in His name. I have a testimony of the Holy Ghost who is my constant companion. A day does not go by without his influence in my life. Comforting me, guiding me, and helping me to make better decisions. I am so grateful for my testimony. It is by far my most precious possession and pray daily that I never lose it. In the name of Jesus Christ, our Redeemer, our Advocate with the Father, our Elder Brother, and our Friend. Amen.
