Hi, I'm Kirsten

I am studying Biology. I love long walks on the beach, in the mountains, and Momma's cooking. I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am currently attending college and I plan to major in Biology and become a High School teacher in that subject. I love spending my time outside. I have a gorgeous view of my town all the way to the snow covered mountains out of my bedroom window. I love capturing this beauty I see through film photography. I love music and often play it. If I could play myself to sleep every night, I would. I absolutely love my family and I cannot imaging a life without them. I thank the Lord everyday for being blessed with such great people in my life.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I see God's hand in my life everyday. I have, quite literally, felt the spirit manifest the truth of what I am studying in the scriptures and what I hear when the leaders of the church speak. I cannot picture where I would be in my life without knowing the truth of this gospel.

How I live my faith

I live my faith my attending my church meetings and actively participating in them. I live a happy life and try to uplift others on my way. I work on reading my scriptures daily. I pray often and thank my Heavenly Father for everything he has given me and I always try to keep a prayer in my heart. I have participated in church Christmas choirs and was a part of OCMCO Orange County Mormon Choral Organization where we performed Christ centered oratorios. I was a part of the Newport Beach Temple jubilee where we celebrated the completion of Newport Beach, California Temple.

Mormons believe Jesus Christ is their Savior. Why do we need a Savior?

Kirsten answered...

Without a Savior, this life on earth would be pointless. We come to earth in a fallen state as the natural man. It is the role our Savior plays that saves us. He suffered in Gethsemane and died on the cross for each one of us. He died for you and He died for me. This act made it possible for us to repent of our sins and ask for forgiveness to be saved and return to live with our Father in Heaven again.

There are doctrinal answers to why we believe we need a Savior to redeem us from the Fall of Adam and to return us to our Father in Heaven that you'll probably come across here. But let me tell you why I need a Savior personally and what He does for me. Christ suffered personally for my pains, sorrows, and sins so that if I ask Him too, He can take them from me. I have been the victim of abuse in my life, and yet through Him I have been able to lay it all at His feet, freely forgive, feel peace, find love, and understand how important negative life experiences can be in teaching us humility. Daily He takes my pain and replaces it with pure love so that I am no longer a victim, but a victor. I need a Savior because He knows me, and through him my flaws become strengths and my pain becomes peace.
