Changing times...


Im excited to be a part of the world right now!! Why is this? Its my personality to worry and fret and wonder how its all going to work out!! The world is in a changing time right now, we don't know how our economy will hold out, who will be the next President of the United States? What about prop 102! So many things to worry about!!! But for some odd reason I feel hope ,I feel strength, I feel miracles in the air! For all the bad around us, all the evil around us, I feel Heavenly Father's hand everywhere! I am proud to stand up for what is right, even if it is not the popular thing to do. As strong as Satan is,our Heavenly Father is stronger! He is giving us many opportunities for deep profound, spiritual growth! I have felt that more then ever lately! Maybe this is what we were saved for the last days to do! Can you believe we are apart of this!

Its true, I've been experiencing some growing pains lately, but then I have to look back and see that even tho its hard it is growing and Heavenly Father is getting me to dig deeper strive for better and become more like he knows and wants me to be! Stephanie said something along the lines of just when you think you have done all you can and you are about to give up because you don't think you can do anymore, thats when the angles come rushing in! We are tested hard over and over, but we have to remember we are not in this alone! We are blessed to have each other! I am blessed to have you! I love you infinity!

Isn't it true? I've felt so much awareness lately about so many things and feeling more grateful than concerned about things. As the world get's crazier, it only reminds me that we are even closer to that glorious end when we will have the Savior in our presence again. I hope I am up for the challenges that lie ahead:). I'm grateful for friends like you that I know will only help me get there!

This is so true. I've always felt so priviledged to have been sent here in these last days, even though they may be the scariest times to be living. I agree with you and think that even with all this evil around us, if we are living how our Heavenly Father would want us to and are striving to become closer to Him, then we will experience Heaven on Earth in our own little homes. We know the ending fate of America and the world, but I do wonder what tomorrow brings? Its very surreal to see all these prophesies happening before our eyes. Thank you for your uplifting words!!

I need your positive attitude. It's not that I am really that scared...It's more of an aching I feel in my heart. So many terrible things are going on in the world right now and I can't help but feel a bit of sorrow. I know deep down in my heart everything will turn out the way it is supposed to. And I know if I live righteously I will have nothing to fear. I am not fearful. But I do need words of encouragement every now and again. Thank you for those words. Love you infinity!

I couldn't agree with you more. We are so blessed to be members of the church and have that strength to rely when times are tough like they are now! I'm so grateful for you and your positive attitude. I was feeling so anxious about things today and reading this has made me feel better thanks Lori! I wish I could have been there to see you when you came to see my house! I'm thrilled you like it!

oh mother what would I do without you!! You are such a great example to me and to us all! I need your attitude about the world today! I can't help but be a little scared. I know everything will work out the way Heavenly Father wants it too but it just makes me scared or when Easton gets older and all the things he will have to be faced with. But I know if I teach him right and show by example how to live righteously like you have for me I won't have to worry. I love you so much and I am so grateful for your testimony of the gospel! I love you infinity!!

Thanks for the uplifting words! I need to remember Pres. Hinckley's wise words, "Fear is the antithesis of Faith". But, this is still hard for me I am such a worrier, Lucille tells me it is in the genes. I just worry for my babies, and I guess I just have to have your confidence and know they will be stronger spirits.
