Testify of Truth

It is sometimes through others testimonies that ours can grow. I thought I would share this strength in my life with you. My best friend is serving a mission in Ghana, Africa. He has grown so much! The other day he wrote me an email bearing this sweet testimony. Hearing him testify brought tears of unwavering truth. His testimony has helped build mine in so many ways.

Kate,

 I just want to let you know that

 I KNOW without any doubt that

 The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

 is the Lord's Kingdom on the earth today.

  I am doing the greatest thing that anybody

 in the world could possibly ever be doing...

going out and proclaiming the true and

 everlasting gospel of our Savior Jesus Christ.

  I know that Joseph Smith is a Prophet

 of God and he was called to restore

 the fullness of the gospel in these latter

 days so that all of us can receive

 the wonderful blessings of the gospel

 and what means the most to me...

the blessing of the temple.

  Kate, I know that only through

 Jesus Christ can we be saved and only

 in this church do we have the keys of the

 kingdom of heaven which makes it possible

 to bind families forever and ever so that one

 day we can become like our Heavenly Father.

 I know all of these things are true

 without any doubt.

  Kate, I'm so proud of how much you

 love and trust our Heavenly Father.

 You are wonderful and don't ever

 let anybody tell you differently.

  I know this church is true Kate!

Love Sam   

Forward Not Behind

Today as I was lolly gagging on pinterest

I found this miraculously perfect

sign that just said it all!

I think a lot of us, including myself 

always focus on what is behind us,

when we really should be focusing

on what's in front of us.

We have all made mistakes;

some worse than others,

but we all need to learn to forgive ourselves

and use what we learned to better

our future.

"Be strong and of a good courage, fear not,

 nor be afraid, for the LORD thy God

 will not fail thee, nor forsake thee."

-Deuteronomy 31:6

Keep your head up, and walk 

uprightly in confidence!

 Though you may stumble and fall...

it's all part of

 getting there!

Letters From Home

Today I had a very good lesson in Relief Society about how to deal with the struggles of hearing from Heaven. 

We are all away from home right now...what if we were all of a sudden given a letter from our heavenly home with words of encouragement, advice, and love?

Truth is we have lots of letters just sitting there waiting to be opened. We just haven't taken the time or efforts to open these precious letters. So with this in mind I have taken a bit of a plunge and created another blog. It's called Letters From Home, http://somewherefarbetween.blogspot.com/(COMING SOON) it's a little rough so far so don't judge. haha

This blog will be based upon my spiritual findings and experiences away from home. I hope to be able to fully take advantage of all the sweet letters and notes from home that will help me to become a Celestial being in a Telestial World.
