Hi, I'm Danielle

I'm a Wife, a Mother. I am a Mormon.

About Me

I am a wife and a mother to two boys and a little girl who will join our family in just a couple of months. After high school, I feel like I have been put a path that has led me to where I am today. I met my husband that summer and was already planning on going to a school out-of-state which happened to be where he was from. So when I moved up there we kept in touch, got married and continued with school. We started a family about two years later. I graduated with an associates degree, which took longer than what I planned on but family is most important to me. I have been blessed with a wonderful family and I enjoy being a homemaker where I can watch and help my children learn and to grow!

Why I am a Mormon

I have been a member of this true church for all my life. I am thankful for my parents who raised all their children in the Mormon faith. I continue to follow His gospel because it brings me peace and comfort. I know that my family and I can be together forever and that is what keeps me doing the best that I can.

How I live my faith

My calling, or job, in the ward is teaching the 6 year olds. I have been enjoying teaching these sweet children of our Heavenly Father. For my own children my husband and I try to have family home evenings where we teach a principle of the gospel to our children, which can be difficult sometimes because they are almost 4 and 2 years old. But our 4 year old looks forward to "having a lesson" and sometimes reminds us. I know that this is because he knows what he is learning is true.

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

Danielle answered...

Yes they can! I find this very comforting because I know that if we follow the teachings of our Heavenly Father we can live together forever, in Heaven with our whole family, and what a blessing this is to me.

The Lord would not command us to love each other so much during our lives only to tear us apart in the next life. We are one flesh just as the Lord is one with his church. The scriptures say that we are not to be put asunder.
Christ gave his apostles special revelations on this subject:
Matthew, Chapter 16:
Jesus said to his apostles:
19 And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

What else would his apostles bind, and what else could the Savior mean, if not marriages? Christ put no limit on their binding power to bind relationships and covenants. Their power extends into heaven.
And he continued by saying:
20 Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.
– because some things are kept sacred until later times when the world is ready to receive them.
Temple sealing and eternal marriage are primarily the subject of modern revelation through prophets in our time.

In the latter days, according to prophecy, Elijah has returned to join families together. Malachi 4:5-6. We believe that prophets in each age bring new revelation from God. Amos 3:7.
This latter day revelation has finally made clear how families are kept together in heaven—something people have wondered about throughout the ages. (Ephesians 5:32, wherein it says that the subject of marriage in Biblical times was “a great mystery”). In our time, the purpose of marriage and family is clear: ordinances are being performed to unite the whole human family throughout all dispensations of time. It is a unique work for the latter days. These modern revelations free human kind from the depressing, and divorce-promoting idea that the family becomes meaningless in the life hereafter. The Lord would not put us in a world so alien to our heavenly home. In heaven, families are the eternal organizational unit in his kingdom.

What is faith?

Zen answered...

Of all the definitions of faith I have read or heard, I add the simplest and most complete to me, which is the Love of Christ. I cannot think of a better way to describe faith. Love of Christ is the substance of hope in something evident we can not see with earthly eyes. It is the faith in Christ or the love of Christ that enabled Able to make a more perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 11:4). That love is why we believe in Christ, it is why we have grace, it is why we have works, it is why we have belief, it is why we have hope, it is why we have charity, it is the very essence of faith, and faith is the very essence of the Love of Christ

Perfect knowledge is worthless without faith. For instance, most of us have perfect knowledge that applying a pointed pencil to paper will cause a mark. That knowledge will not make a mark if we do not exercise the elements of faith called works (picking up the pencil, applying it to the paper, and making a mark), belief (that doing so will make a mark), and hope (that it actually will make a mark). It is my desire that you would exercise works to find out about Christ and study Him, that you would believe on His words and His life and His sacrifice, and that you would hope that He would have an effect in your life. If you exercise this faith, you will truly come unto Him.
