Hi, I'm Krista

I'm a mom. I'm a wife. I'm a daughter of God. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am a new mom to a darling boy who is the absolute best baby in the world. I'm also new to staying home full time. It's something to get used to and definitely a lot of work, but it happens to be the most rewarding job I've ever had. In my free time (ha, what's that?), I love to hang out with my husband and blog or read or sew or craft.

Why I am a Mormon

My faith is the most rewarding thing in my life. My relationship with a loving God gives me purpose and helps me know which direction to take in life. Whenever I feel sad or discouraged. I can turn to prayer and know that everything will be ok. I do my best to keep my life in harmony with my faith and my values and I feel peace and love from my Savior and my God.

Personal Stories

In what ways have your prayers been answered?

My prayers are always answered, big or small. I have been healed of sickness, and found things that were lost. I have been comforted and buoyed up in times of difficulty. Even when I don't receive what I asked for right away, I feel peace and love from my Savior and my Father in Heaven that tell me my prayers will be answered in a way that will bless my life more than what I originally had in mind.

How I live my faith

I try to live my faith in all aspects of my life by constantly making sure I am making right choices and having charity for all those around me. I read my scriptures and pray every day. I attend church every Sunday and teach a class of 4 year olds about our faith. They are adorable! I visit an LDS temple at least once a month to more closely feel the Spirit of my Heavenly Father.

What do Mormons believe about the nature of God?

Krista answered...

We believe that we were formed in the image of God. We believe He is our loving Father and that He has a plan for our lives. He will always do what is best for us even if we do not understand it at the time. He lets us make our own choices, good or bad, but He is always merciful and forgiving if we repent. If we are willing to follow His counsel, He blesses us beyond what we can imagine.
Kathleen answered...

This question is easily answered in the words of one of the children's songs "I know my [Heavenly] Father lives, and loves me too". We believe in a loving God, who knows us each individually. Another way I know that God loves me because he has heard and answered my prayers many times. Some people think that God is angry, but I do not believe that is so. Matthew 7:11 reads, "If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to those that ask him?" I think that just explains it all- as parents we want the best for our children. God, our Heavenly parent, wants the best for us, too. As parents, we recognize that giving our children everything they ask for isn't necessarily what's best for them. God does this for us also.

Are Mormons Christians?

Debbie answered...

This question always surprises me when I am asked. I always answer with a resounding "YES". We are Christians in every sense of the word. We believe in Christ. He is the head of our church. All of our teachings are based on Him. We have hope in His eternal atonement.
