This is inspiration.

Can we just talk about something for a bit. Let's talk about the immense and amazing impact of Mormon Messages. I feel like there isn't one I have watched when I haven't felt the spirit so deeply seep into my very being. My eyes well up with tears, my heart swells, and the Holy Ghost testifies of the truth of the message being received. It is incredible. We study media, and it's effect on babies, children, adolescents, adults... people. There is bad in the world. Yes. There is good in the world. Yes. Where the break up of the two is exactly, I don't know. BUT- I do know that I choose to support the good. It is hard. It really is. There are some shows out there I just want to watch, because I know they are funny, I know they will entertain me, and I know that it will take no effort on my part.

I post this Mormon Message, because I think it is beautiful. I think of my dad, and his love and sacrifice for me. Truly, understanding our fathers and their roles, we will better understand our Father and Heaven and His role in helping us return to him.

    I love the video about fathers! I can't even watch it without crying. I'm so grateful that the church comes up with amazing things like Mormon Messages.

    I love this Mormon Message! I get teary eyed every time I watch it! It is hard to comprehend the love our Heavenly Father has for us but with the example of our fathers we are able to understand a portion of it.

Talk Negative to Me

“You are totally out of your league. You gotta leave, now!” This is what was playing in my head as soon as I watched the other ladies hit. I had agreed to go play volleyball with my friend. Neither of us knew what we were going to find when we got to Bear Lake gym. Well, we found players - like - playa players. The voice just continued playing over and over as my body got tight, my heart beat fast, and I began to squirm inside. “You aren’t good enough. Did you see that set? You can’t set like that. Wowzer. That was an insane angle. You can’t hit like that. They must have all played college, for sure. You didn’t even play in high school. Oh, they are using all that fancy volleyball lingo. Do you even know what she just said?” Panic. Now, lucky for me, I was well into my current reading selection, a sports psychology book. And, fortunately I had just finished the chapter on negative self talk right before I left for this sporting excursion. In “This is Your Brain on ...

Beauty from Pain

It is almost 2 A.M. I am, maybe, going to sleep soon. My body is tired, my mind just isn't. I can't escape the sad. It is weird how depression can either keep you up till the sun comes over the mountain, or, make you sleep your days away. It is funny like that. I don't find myself in depressive "downs" (that's what I call them) very often. I am lucky, really. But those few days, or weeks, can be so painful and dark. I often think it will just go away. POOF! There went my mental struggles. It isn't going anywhere. It really isn't. I should deal. I have written down the feelings that I feel just to get them out and try to deal from there. They aren't happy feelings. Lifeless. Hopeless. Worthless. These are always the three that come. Depression is downward spiral into a dark place. I am blessed. I really am. I know this. I have so many talents and gifts to be thankful for and develop. My Father in Heaven loves me. That, my friends, is all I can...

"I can do ANYTHING good!"

Meet Jessica! This little bundle of fun and curls, she will make you smile.... promise;) I love this. I wonder where Jessica learned to do a little self-prep talk every morning. And-- who taught her what to say. I propose, her parents have said to her probably on more than one occasion, "Jessica, you can do anything." I think she did a little self adding in some places, Nonetheless, her confidence has been established for the day. In contrast, let's take a look at, Mckenzie. This dear girl, I pray for her. Mckenzie does seem to be very confident in herself. I am sure her mother has told her on several occasion, "Mckenzie, you are a beauty queen." This diva child has been fed with  hairspray, fake tans, and glitter. As far as she knows, she is a beauty queen. As far as we can observe, she is going to be spoiled.  Unfortunately, TLC doesn't have a show that emphasizes young girls being happy and loving. That doesn't get viewers. I am guilty....
