Look Up!: Becoming and Overcoming
http://lookforthesunlight.blogspot.com/2013/03/becoming-and-overcoming.html
Tuesday, March 12, 2013. How do we get through our trials, and not just squeak by, but grow and become more than we were before? In her speech, Carol explains the following:. Our Father in Heaven wants us to become like Him, and in so doing He wants us to overcome. It consists of the following steps. Step 1: Your plan is thwarted; you become baffled and questioning. Step 2: Faith doesn't bring the desired results; you become hurt and doubtful. Step 3: You set conditions. You decide to absolutely trust in...

Look Up!: "Lessons from Liberty Jail"
http://lookforthesunlight.blogspot.com/2013/02/lessons-from-liberty-jail.html
Sunday, February 24, 2013. Lessons from Liberty Jail". I first heard of Elder Jeffrey R. Holland's address "Lessons from Liberty Jail" when it was in the Ensign. Believe, my heart and mind were not ready for that quite yet. The Spirit didn't have easy access to my heart because it was so hardened. But "Lessons from Liberty Jail" was one of those life changing talks, that was written and delivered in such a way that I couldn't not. The power that man has is incredible! Here are Elder Holland's words:.

Look Up!: You are never alone
http://lookforthesunlight.blogspot.com/2013/02/you-are-never-alone.html
Sunday, February 17, 2013. You are never alone. Let's face it, life is hard. Tough. Sometimes outright brutal. It is during those hard times that we often feel God has abandoned us, that He doesn't seem to care that we are suffering, sometimes mercilessly. We feel small and insignificant to Him, a father with an infinite number of children. He has so many, how can He really be paying attention to me? I testify to you that He does know each of us, individually. He loves you unconditionally. Is a metaphor ...

Look Up!: Song of the Week
http://lookforthesunlight.blogspot.com/p/songs.html
Song of the Week. 9 March, 2013. Here's the link to listen to the song: http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Hey, heard you were up all night. Thinking about how your world ain't right. And you wonder if things will ever get better. And you're asking why is it always raining on you. When all you want is just a little good news. Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather. Oh, don't hang your head. Even if it's hard to see Him. I promise you that He still cares. When the waves are taking you under. But li...

Look Up!: Unhappy? Release Your Inner Child and Play
http://lookforthesunlight.blogspot.com/2013/02/unhappy-release-your-inner-child-and.html
Wednesday, February 13, 2013. Release Your Inner Child and Play. Look at the pictures above. Do you remember what life was like as a child when you hardly had any worries or concerns, heartbreak lasted only a few hours, you could run around all day long like the energizer bunny, and the cold and snow didn't bother you because you were playing in it with your best friends? When life seemed simpler and so care free? When you felt like the best days were ahead or you as a "big person"? So true, right? I may...

Look Up!: November 2012
http://lookforthesunlight.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 18, 2012. Build Upon a Sure Foundation. We studied this very subject in my ward today, where we were in 3 Nephi 18, but the lesson took an interesting turn when we started talking about what it means to build upon a "sandy foundation". In this chapter, Christ institutes the sacrament among the Nephites and commands them to pray always. In verses 12 and 13 He says (pay attention to what's in the bold print):. But whoso among you shall do more or less. But here's the truth: pushing ourselv...

Look Up!: Turtle Power!
http://lookforthesunlight.blogspot.com/2013/08/turtle-power.html
Friday, August 30, 2013. Those of you who know me well know that I am obsessed with turtles. I mean OBSESSED. This started about a year ago, and I don't know why. Funny, huh? But I love them. I love them so much when I went on a cruise earlier this year I saw turtle merchandise everywhere and went absolutely crazy. Picture the dogs on the movie "Up", all of a sudden yelling "Squirrel! My eyes were drawn to a particular picture with the words, "A Steady Pace Wins the Race" and in my mind, wheels started t...

Look Up!: Change Your Life. All it Takes is a Click.
http://lookforthesunlight.blogspot.com/2013/03/change-your-life-all-it-takes-is-click.html
Saturday, March 23, 2013. Change Your Life. All it Takes is a Click. Last November I went to a fireside where the guest speaker was accomplished LDS singer Hilary Weeks. I was so excited to hear her sing and speak and was pleasantly surprised with the message she shared. I'll narrow it down for you. She talked about the power of our thoughts and how they shape the way we see and live our lives. Who could blame her? She tried it and found that yes, it would! Http:/ www.billionclicks.org/. Song of the Week.
