http://directionliving.blogspot.com/2012/02/embracing-winter.html
My Message Here is Threefold:. Sunday, February 12, 2012. A friend of mine gave me an essay in which I found this quote:. Wintering is about creating stillness in our lives. It is about emptying, letting go of activity, ceasing our striving and just resting in our being.". When I read that I thought, "Yeah! I know these days of stillness may not last forever, but just having these moments of stillness are necessary for our hearts to be filled and our lives to be full of the purpose God intends for us.

My Message Here is Threefold:. Friday, May 14, 2010. Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured.". Gordon B. Hinckley - -. I remember having a conversation with a friend several years ago wherein she said that life is all about the have to's and "there's no joy in life anymore." At the time I remember thinking how sad that was. Shortly after I realized that others were having those same emotions. Then baby number five came along and it happened to me! Right now. But for me focussing on the word. What is the...

My Message Here is Threefold:. Friday, February 3, 2012. Teething and Eternal Perspective. This too shall pass. Such an oft-heard remark. I was just telling a friend, "Yes, it will pass, just in time for another thing to come to pass." Why are we so eager for hard times to pass? A baby teething is one of those experiences. The last two days our baby has been fabulously happy! Experiences in life are sometimes like teething. They hurt. They are inevitable. They are exhausting. Sometimes th...I know there ...

.....: Discovering Your Purpose
http://directionliving.blogspot.com/2010/05/discovering-your-mission.html
My Message Here is Threefold:. Thursday, May 6, 2010. Everyone has a mission to fulfill. Do you believe that? Well, yes, if any of those really were. Personal mission, but I don't believe they are. Believe everyone has a mission. But I don't really like the word "mission" in this context. I feel more that we all have a purpose and like how Sheri L. Dew calls it our "personal ministry." I used to stress about these questions, "What is my. And "Am I really fulfilling my. Embrace Where You Are Today. Stephe...

My Message Here is Threefold:. Sunday, August 28, 2011. So sorry for my last post. It did end up being "one of those. Weeks" though. But I can tell you, all experiences can become learning experiences. While visiting with a friend this week, something she said led me on a journey to study how to increase my faith. She said, " Strengthen your faith, the kind of faith where you place everything on the Lord. and then you will be at peace.". I love what Elder Richard G. Scott. Proverbs 3:5: "Trust in the Lor...

My Message Here is Threefold:. Sunday, September 25, 2011. Last night I was completely overwhelmed with God's love for me. I'm sure I was not the only woman in the room or in the world who felt as I did during the Relief Society broadcast. For The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I cannot say that enough! Even before he stood up to talk I knew President Uchtdorf would deliver the message Heavenly Father wanted and needed me. What were the five things I (we) must never forget:. There are a myr...

My Message Here is Threefold:. Tuesday, November 22, 2011. A quote from April's General Conference has been haunting me. Not really haunting, but just simmering in my mind I guess, a phrase I think we need to pay more attention to. Rarely in the future will it be easy or popular to be a faithful Latter-day Saint. Each of us will be tested. The Apostle Paul warned that in the latter days, those who diligently follow the Lord “shall suffer persecution.”. In Peter we read:. For what glory is it,. 8217; sake,.

My Message Here is Threefold:. Sunday, January 22, 2012. When I first read these chapters in preparation for teaching I thought, "What am I to teach from this? It's just an overview of history." Well, I found some exciting stuff! And since I didn't get to teach this lesson because of illness, I will write some thoughts here instead. :-). First, take a moment to create a timeline of your life. Just something brief with significant dates and moments that have occurred. Is the church of the. Of all the earth.
