“Our challenges, including those we create by our own decisions, are part of our test in mortality. Let me assure you that your situation is not beyond the reach of our Savior. Through Him, every struggle can be for our experience and our good (see D&C 122:7). Each temptation we overcome is to strengthen us, not destroy us. The Lord will never allow us to suffer beyond what we can endure (see 1 Corinthians 10:13). “We must remember that the adversary knows us extremely well. He knows where, when, and how to tempt us. If we are obedient to the promptings of the Holy Ghost, we can learn to recognize the adversary’s enticements. Before we yield to temptation, we must learn to say with unflinching resolve, ‘Get thee behind me, Satan’ (Matthew 16:23).”

Robert D. Hales

Time is running out, come save.
Death is creeping in, come save.
We humble ourselves and seek Your face.
Pour out Your mercy like rain.
Your sons and your daughters cry for You.
The waves of the waters reach for You.
All of creation rises up and screams out Your name.
Oh Lord, come save.
Addicted to our pride, come save.
Consumed in self-delight, come save.
Break us and free us from these chains.
We desperately need Your grace.
Come awaken us from our sleep.
Come bring us to our knees.
Come whisper truth in our ears.
Come save

I so hate consequences

When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”
And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed
The love you felt for me was mine
The love I’d wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
I heard no I told so’s
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, Oh God I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed you

And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
I hate these consequences
Because I know that I let you down
Now I don't wanna deal with that

'Many young women are serving missions. Many are preparing to serve, not because they aren't married or have nothing else to do, but because they have the desire to serve, and therefore are being called to the work. The reason why there are so many going is because this next generation, Heavenly Father will be sending His priesthood army to earth and wants them to be sent to mothers who have been properly trained and taught in the gospel. What better training can a young woman have than serving a full time mission?'

Ezra Taft Benson

So, I bought me a book to teach me the ways of God
Open my tarnished heart from it
And I started praising the Lord and talking in tongues and code
And made repairs on that broken road back home

Land of Marigolds - Joshua James

Kindness

Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Be the living expression of God's kindness:



Kindness in your face,

Kindness in your eyes,

Kindness in your smile.


-Mother Teresa
