Proverbs 3:5-6 reads "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths." During these tough economic times, I've really come to rely on this scripture and just how often it's necessary for me to acknowledge Him in this journey of life. Where I'm at now and where my family is at now is not a mistake or a chance occurrence, but a part of the Lords' unique and divine mission for me. Who I am is not a mistake or chance occurrence but a unique combination of what makes me able to most effectively carry out His plan for me. My mission here on earth is special and unique and precious. I sincerely believe that the Lord has a mission for each of us, and that only through being in tuned to the Holy Ghost can we carry out His mission for us to its fullest potential.

I enjoy studying the life of Jesus Christ in the new testament of the bible. The parable of the talents, that he taught, has really influenced my life. Everything that we receive, and who we are, is from our heavenly father and his son. It has taught me that we need to use all that we have been given not only for ourselves but to the benefit of others! One of them was given ten talents and doubled it before he returned, and he was blessed. Others did what they could, and the one that got one buried it and did nothing with what he was blessed with and it was taken away. I know that as we take every opportunity to learn in this life, and use those "talents" that we have been given to benefit others we will be blessed with more, and none will be taken away.

"As I have loved you, love one another". After 37 years of being married, I have recently gone through a divorce. The most important lesson I have learned is that without charity (the pure love of Christ; loving people the way He loves them, seeing their worth as He sees it) we are nothing and we will wind up with nothing in eternity. There is ultimate justice because of the law of the harvest. We can sow love for all of God's children and reap peace and a joyful life. Show more Show less

Faith has definitely influenced my life, and I have seen the miracles that faith has brought about in my life and in the lives of others. In the scriptures it says that faith is a belief in things which are not seen which are true. I have a strong faith and testimony that Jesus does indeed live and that he healed many dozens of people, and it was according to their faith that they were healed. Show more Show less

Charity never faileth! I think charity is something that has influenced my life greatly, or at least I hope it has. This is a Christlike attribute that I have strived and am striving to have with me constantly. It is the pure love of Christ, to love all unconditionally. I think if we all had true charity and can forgive others as well as ourselves, the world would definately be a better place and people would be a lot happier! When I know that when I have charity towards someone, I want to help them more and everything is just so much better! I have definately felt charity from my Heavenly Father, Savior Jesus Christ, parents, family, church leaders, friends, and the list goes on. Because of this feeling of love, I want to help others feel the same love I've felt through the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Show more Show less

There are so many but his admonition follow him and to take up our cross daily is such an important doctrine. The good news is that we can participate in the atonement not just as beneficiaries but as ministers of the atonement. His ministry lasted three years but it is extended in time and throughout the world by those who, by faith, take his name upon themselves and join him in his divine mission. God's two great works are creation and atonement and he allows us to participate with him in both of these works to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man. Show more Show less

I believe that the most important teaching for me is the knowledge of his perfect love and the blessing of repentance. I know that he loves me and that he will always be there for me. I know that everything I go through are things that I can succed and that will be for my benefit. I know that I can repent when i make mistakes and that as long as I try my best to follow him he will bless me, even when my attempt is far from perfect. Show more Show less

At this point in my life there are two things that I often reflect on when I think of the life and teachings of the Savior. He was kind to children. He loved them. We read in the Book of Mormon of how he came to the America's and blessed the people and their children. He called each one to him and took the time to spend with them. The scriptures teach us to become as a child- not to become childish but childlike. To trust, to believe, to be obedient to our Heavenly Father and to follow the example of Jesus Christ. Christ also lived a selfless life. The ultimate sacrifice being that he suffered for our sins in the Garden of Gethsemane and then died for us on the cross. He gave his life in the service of his people. He blessed them, he loved them. He gave them all that he had. As I read about the stories of Jesus I am deeply touched by his kindness and his ability to put off "the natural man" and be perfect. I know it is possible for every person to become like he is. It is the example of Jesus Christ that I try everyday to model. Show more Show less
