Mormon.org now has a profile available for each registered Member of the LDS faith! This is so neat. It’s incredibly easy to set up, if you have already registered on LDS.org for your Ward, you use the same username and password you use to login there.
The pro and con to using this site and setting up your profile is:
PRO: They go through an approval process as to filter each profile to ensure it’s legitimate Members providing accurate information.
CON: The approval process can take up to two weeks to publish your changes.
So any typos you notice after everything has been published will take just as long as the approval process to publish the changes. So review- and re-review before submitting your profile.
This video and the quotes below I came across today and just had to share. They moved me to a greater degree than anytime I have ever read them before or heard the same message before. Most likely because I feel like an entirely new person these days. Happier, more full of life and just excited about life. I feel like I’m beaming, and I know this is the Spirit. God has healed me and healed my life, and I feel closer to Heaven each day. I LOVE it!
Remember who you are, and where you come from and where you’re going. Remember that God loved you first and you’re His child. That makes you special.
“I come to you tonight with a plea that we stop seeking out the storms and enjoy more fully the sunlight. I am suggesting that as we go through life we try to ‘accentuate the positive.’ I am asking that we look a little deeper for the good, that we still our voices of insult and sarcasm, that we more generously compliment virtue and effort. Now I am not asking that all criticism be silenced. Growth comes of correction. Strength comes of repentance. Wise is the man or woman who can acknowledge mistakes pointed out by others and change his or her course.”What I am suggesting is that you turn from the negativism that so permeates our modern society and look for the remarkable good among those with whom you associate, that we speak of one another’s virtues more than we speak of one another’s faults, that optimism replace pessimism, that our faith exceed our fears. When I was a young man and was prone to speak critically, my wise father would say: ‘Cynics do not contribute. Skeptics do not create. Doubters do not achieve.’”
["Be Not Afraid, Only Believe," CES Fireside for Young Adults, Sept. 9, 2001]
”I do not believe in any kind of tyranny. I believe in long-suffering, in mercy, in kindness, in gentleness, and in the love and fear of God. I do not believe that the Priesthood was given to man to exercise dominion and authority over the souls of other men. Everything ought to be done with kindness and long-suffering, yet with fidelity to God.” [Teachings of Presidents of the Church: John Taylor (2001), 136]
“Our motives and thoughts ultimately influence our actions. Jesus repeatedly emphasized the power of good thoughts and proper motives: ‘Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not’ (D&C 6:36). “In Proverbs we read, ‘For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he’ (Proverbs 23:7).”
“Should there be anyone who feels he is too weak to do better because of that greatest of fears, the fear of failure, there is no more comforting assurance to be had than the words of the Lord: ‘My grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them’ (Ether 12:27).”
For the past 9.5 months I have been working full time, more recently – mostly overtime (40+), 7 days a week. I have had the convenience of managing my own hours, meaning I can do 8 hours one day, 10 the next and 6 the following. But regardless, I have had to work in the very least 1-2 hours both Saturday and Sunday too. This has been draining on me. I LOVE my job, I am so grateful for it. It arrived at the most perfect time and has been a luxury to work from home. I have no complaints.
Wonderful news arrived this week when my boss informed me I could officially take Saturdays and Sundays off to help me rejuvenate my spirits and relax. This truly has been an answer to a prayer and I am SO happy!
As part of my LDS Faith we believe in not working on Sundays if at all possible. This is so we can dedicate the entire day to worshiping the Lord and spending quality time with our Family without any worldly concerns on the mind or outside distractions. It’s a personal call though (you won’t lose your membership if you work on Sunday). But if you have the choice, than not working should be your first priority. I tried really hard to request the day off, but where in my job I’m the only person in my department – I pretty much had to. So Clark and I prayed about it, and we felt that this is what I needed to do. To move forward in Faith that I would one day be able to have this day off. Be patient, and everything will work out. And it has!!!
This job couldn’t be more perfect. It just gets better and better, I am so lucky! ♥
Have Patience + Hope + Faith, in humility with a charitable heart = God will send you blessings upon blessings!
Welcome to my Blog! Or I should say... welcome to my Journal. This is the place where I come to record my history. The history of my family, the lessons I learn, and reviews of people, places and things I enjoy, or don't enjoy and want to share with others. I welcome comments, so don't be shy - I only ask that you are respectful if you have an opposing thought. Thanks! :) ♥ Read More...
“Your story should be written now while it is fresh and while the true details are available. Your private journal should record the way you face up to challenges that beset you. Do not suppose life changes so much that your experiences will not be interesting to your posterity. Experiences of work, relations with people, and an awareness of the rightness and wrongness of actions will always be relevant. Your journal, like most others, will tell of problems as old as the world and how you dealt with them.” (”President Kimball Speaks Out on Personal Journals,” New Era, Dec. 1980, 26)
