It’s Hard Work To Be A Mormon!!

It is HARD work to be a Mormon!!!  I can say say this because I am a convert.  I have lived my life without my LDS Church, and I have lived the last 5 years as an active member of ‘The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.’  I remember the minute that my husband, Richard, and I decided to join this Church.  I was holding, ‘The Book of Mormon,’ in my hand.  So we went into the nearest LDS Church Service (which happened to be in Little Rock, Arkansas), and announced we wanted to be baptized.  We had no concept of what this meant, only that we wanted to be ‘Saved’ and join this Church.  We went through the lessons taught by the Missionaries and got baptized and confirmed.  There, we did it.  Now we were going back to our old lives.  Say what?  We have more to do?????  OK.  What else do I need to do?  When I found out that our new Church was not just a Faith, but a life-style as well, I honestly didn’t know if I could do everything that these ‘Mormons’ did EVERY day.  I could make a list, but if you are LDS, you know what I mean.  And if you are not LDS, I cannot begin to tell you all the blessings I receive every day!!!  Because I work the Church, I don’t let it work me.  I read my Scriptures, I pray, I ask for forgiveness, I try my very best to be kind, respectful, not gossip, and to be Christ-like all day.  Let me tell you, if all this is new to you, it takes effort every minute of every day.  But my Faith is so worth all the work.  I know that this time on earth is just a part of my eternity.  Can you image?  What we do now affects us FOREVER!!!!  I wish you happiness, joy, and peace forever.  I love you my dear brothers and sisters!!

Easter and What It Means.

 

Easter Week in History

This week of Easter brings a lot of emotions to me. I am sad and empty because this is the week in history when Jesus was betrayed and beaten. This is the week in history that Heavenly Father knew was coming. Jesus knew it too. The tragedy on Good Friday was pre-ordained and part of Our Father’s Plan of Salvation. My heart weeps for Jesus. My heart also weeps for our Heavenly Father. The Father of us all stood by and watched his first born, his only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ, atone for the sins of all the world. Every ‘Good Friday,’ I stand all amazed at the love he has given me. I try to understand, and I cannot. I know that someday I will. But for now, I feel lost in grief.

I find joy, comfort, love, and faith in the day of Easter. I have a personal testimony that in Jesus Christ died on the cross to save us. Our beloved Lord knew that He would return to rescue us. 3 days after Jesus died, He triumphantly returned in body and soul to testify of His Glory. Jesus is a fully resurrected spirit, His Body and Soul rejoined as one. The Scriptures testify of this truth.

Please love your neighbors as you love yourself. This is the 2nd greatest commandment of all.

In The Name Of Jesus Christ.

I LOVE our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Jesus has saved me from myself, and He has lead me to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.  (His true church bears His name.)

Since I joined this LDS faith, I have learned to live and love so that Jesus will be proud of me.  My whole life has changed since I joined the LDS church, and I have accepted His Gospel.

I have also learned to pray in a manner that reflects Heavenly Father is my spiritual and eternal Father, and Jesus Christ is my brother, Savior, and best friend.

Now my prayers sound like I know who I am talking to. And I have to admit, this has been a learning process for me.  One that I embrace, enjoy, look forward to, and depend upon.  I have learned that my prayers are heard.  Always.  The divine answer might be, “no.” but sometimes it is, “yes”!!!!  And I always know that I am talking directly to my Lord and my God because I feel him.  How?  From a quiet, still voice that speaks through the Holy Spirit and gives me goosebumps, chills, and tears.

And I always close with,”In the name of Jesus Christ.”

Amen.  Do you have goosebumps all over?  I do.
