Hi, I'm Kim

I'm a vegan, I'm a fitness addict, I'm a crafter, I'm a wife and mother of two kids, I'm a Christian, and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a wife and mother of 2 kids and I love what I do, most days. Raising kids can be an uphill battle. I like to make things, anything, from scratch using my own designs and ideas. I'm a vegan addicted to healthy eating and fitness. My days consist of working out and getting down and playing with my kids. Right now, I wouldn't want to be anything else.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I have a strong testimony of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. I was born and raised in the Church, but I feel we all come to our own conversion at some point. For me, I choose to stay true to the gospel of Jesus Christ because of the peace it brings into my home and the love that I feel for my Savior Jesus Christ.

Personal Stories

How has your knowledge of the Plan of Happiness changed/benefited your life?

I have a little sister that passed away when I was very young. It scared me. I didn't know where she went and why she was no longer with my family. Then I started to worry about where I would go. As I grew older and learned more about the Plan of Happiness I was filled with incredible peace and comfort. I knew that I would see my sister again. I knew that my family would be together forever. This gives me something to live for and look forward to. I want to live my life worthy of being in eternity with my family. And I know I can.

How I live my faith

I try to do my best to live my faith everyday. I always try to live in such a way that those around me will see that I'm a good person and see the values that I represent. I attend all my meetings and serve faithfully in the callings I am given. I have made covenants in the temple and strive to live worthy of them everyday. I am always looking for areas that I can improve and people that I can serve.

Can a husband and wife be together forever? Do Mormons believe that families will live together in heaven?

Kim answered...

Yes, a husband and wife can be together forever! As we are worthy to enter the temple, we can be sealed to our spouse for time AND for ALL ETERNITY! I love this. I love knowing that I will be with my husband forever and ever. I love knowing that my children can be ours forever because of my eternal marriage. Families really truly are forever. I know this!
Daniel answered...

When married by earthly power and the authority of man, our vows are "Until death do you part."

We believe that families can be together forever as part of our Heavenly Father's Great Plan of Happiness. His Work and His Glory is to bring to pass the exaltation and eternal life of man. He wants us to be even as He is and to return home to live with Him again.

Through the ordinances of his Holy Temples, God's son's and daughter's are able to make covenants. Through the power of His Holy Priesthood, be sealed together for all of time and eternity as Husband and Wife, parents and children.

Families were designed and instituted by God with the intent that they be forever. The love we feel in this life does not need to be cut off when we die. Those who have already died are not lost us forever. God has mercifully made a way by which all who would accept these saving ordinances can do so, living or dead.

We perform these ordinances for those who have in the past died so that they may have the opportunity of accepting them on the other side if they so choose to do so.

What is The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' attitude regarding homosexuality and same sex marriage?

Christian answered...

Honestly admitting that you have homosexual feelings is often a scary and humiliating process – many are mistreated and must sort through these powerful emotions on their own. You have my deepest admiration and love. Your life is an amazing opportunity to make choices which will bring you peace and fulfillment. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I extend to you the same invitation that was extended to me: communicate your desires, fears and struggles to your loving Heavenly Father in prayer. Come to church with me! Or any other Mormon friend of yours. Give your burdens to God and trust in His plan for you—one that by design results in your greatest happiness.
And when you go to church on Sunday, know that you are on equal standing with those who do or don't have same-gender attraction. I know that faithful and obedient members of the Church will welcome you and love you.
Just like heterosexual members of our church, it is not a sin to be attracted to someone. However, intimacy is a sacred part of a loving relationship between a husband and wife. We are surrounded by a world of smut and filth which make a mockery of true love. Outside of marriage, the management of our sexual urges, whether homosexual or heterosexual, is to master the greatest power God has given His children on earth -- to create families.
