How I live my faith

I absolutely love that our Church is a service oriented church and that we can each serve in various capacities within our congregations. Being that I have moved so much in my life, I have had the opportunity to serve in the Church in many areas. I've taught classes for the women of the church, I've been a leader to the youth, I've cared for the babies and toddlers so that their parents could attend classes, I've led church choirs and I've taught the gospel through music to the children of the church. Each of these opportunities was something I was asked to do and not something that I sought, and each time I felt overwhelmed at what was being asked. But as I prayed to be led in ways that would benefit those I taught, each of these opportunities brought growth and became part of who I am today. Every position that started out as overwhelming was difficult to leave when my time came to do something else. And I learned that my favorite position in the church is always the one I currently have.

And yet, despite the variety of church service opportunities there is none more important than that of mother and teacher. I live my beliefs fully so that my children will never question my commitment to my Father in Heaven and Savior Jesus Christ. They are being taught who they are and what God intends for them. They are my children on this earth but they were entrusted to me by a loving Father in Heaven, because they are His first and foremost. I try to create a home that is a haven from the world, a place of acceptance and love and understanding. Every concept that I teach in the home can be related back to the Gospel of Christ.

My desire in this life is that regardless of my weaknesses, I can be seen as a strong and resilient woman of faith. That perhaps by living the life I do, those around me will see in themselves what God himself sees in each of them. You are His child, He knows you, He loves you, you are His!
