Hi, I'm Angie.

I live an ordinary, beautiful life as a wife and a mom. I'm a dreamer, a crafter & a blogger. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I love the simple but challenging, ordinary but wonderful life I have been blessed with as a wife and a mom. My favorite place to be is home, spending time with my husband & two girls. I work part-time at a local scrapbook store & find my joy in being creative and preserving my memories through crafting, scrapbooking & blogging.

Why I am a Mormon

I have chosen to be an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints because of the simplicity & perfection of it's teachings. I know who I am, where I came from, what my mission on this earth is, and what is to come after this life. Through that knowledge, I have the understanding and peace I need to get through any adversity I face throughout my life. I have come to know, through experience, that Jesus Christ is my Savior, Redeemer & friend. I know that He loves me, as well as all of my fellow travelers on this earth. I feel the companionship & love of the Lord in my life as I try to follow His gospel.

How I live my faith

One of my favorite quotes is by a leader of the church, David A. Bednar. He said: "Ordinary people who faithfully, diligently, and consistently do simple things that are right before God will bring forth extraordinary results."

That is my goal. Life can be busy & isn't always easy, but I try my best to work hard everyday to serve my friends and family, show love to my fellowmen & be active in my church community, to the best of my ability. I enjoy reading the scriptures & candidly sharing my testimony with others. I have a passion for seeking out the beauty in the all simple blessings God has given me. I am my happiest when I am being consciously grateful & serving others. I often fall short, but I know that my Savior is my greatest cheerleader, and that through daily repentance & His atonement, tomorrow is new opportunity for growth.

What is being a Mormon like?

Brad Hill answered...

One word: "Awesome".

Another word "Happy".

Although we face trials we are able to be happy and know that things will be alright. As a Mormon, day to day life is how I live and I try my hardest to do my best. It's difficult sometimes, but after the hard work comes the great blessings and the ability to rest from our cares and sorrows.

Nothing is easy about being a disciple of Christ, but we have all the help and resources we need from God to do what we are called to do... be ourselves, be a brother or sister, father or mother, friend, servant, leader, and many many other things! Yes there is opposition in life, but that is how we can learn.

As you come to understand what being a Mormon is all about you will then begin to understand God's infinite love for you and can see the blessings and miracles in your life!
Michael answered...

The shortest answer that I could give is that it's AWESOME.
But really, it's great! The standards of the Church help me live and love a more clean life, and help me enjoy what I do every day.
Sometimes it's hard, but I try to think about WHY I do it all. It's like working out- I don't always enjoy it, but I keep thinking about the finish line and why I'm working out.
Like Captain Moroni wrote on the ensign banner he called the "Title of Liberty" to rally the country to understand why they were doing what they were:
"In memory of our God, our religion, and freedom, and our peace, our wives, and our children."
Being a Mormon makes me love life more. And I sure live a lot of it!

Do Mormons practice polygamy?

Shannon answered...

No, Mormons or members of The Church of Jesus Christ do not practice polygamy. The church has nothing whatsoever to do with the practice of polygamy. People who practice polygamy are not Mormons or members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. If any members of the church are found practicing plural marriage, they are excommunicated, which is the most serious penalty the Church can impose. Not only are those involved in direct violation of the civil law, they are in violation of the law of this Church.
