Hope

Found this at the store other day. As a single girl in her older twenties, I think this is one of the best reminders. I put it above my bed so I can read it every single day. Love it!

Let it Go

Tonight I want to testify of the power of "letting go and letting God." As I was reading the Book of Mormon tonight and pondering about our Savior Jesus Christ, I just felt peace about life. So many times I wish/try to have control over my life. But when we finally let go and submit to the Lord's will, we find peace. 

"Not my will, but thine."

Let go and let God. It'll brings peace. 

One Day at a Time

Sometimes we get so caught up in the future, that we fail to live in the present. Lately I've realized that while it's important to have a greater perspective and vision, it's really important to just take one day at a time. Focus on today. Matthew 6:11 states, "Give us this day our daily bread." (emphasis added).

God Grant Me...

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference."

Good Things to Come

Oh, how I needed this today.

Be Believing

Our Own Worst Critics

I recently read a really good talk. I highly recommend it. Elder Maxwell said, "Some of us stand before no more harsh a judge than ourselves, a judge who stubbornly refuses to admit much happy evidence and who cares nothing for due process. Fortunately, the Lord loves us more than we love ourselves."

We are our own worst critics. We are hard on ourselves. Maybe it's just me here, but I have a feeling it's not. I've been thinking about this lately. It is so important to have compassion towards ourselves! Heavenly Father doesn't want us to beat ourselves up. We are His children. He loves us so much. Honestly (and sadly), I've spent a lot of time feeling inadequate and beating myself up. And that's not at all what the Lord wants.

So, today, and everyday, talk to yourself like you would to someone you love. 

I'm going to work on being better at it.
