I am Dedicating this page strictly to my beliefs. I consider this blog much like my journal and I want to share my intimate feelings about my faith with those who are interested to hear it.
I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. For those who are not familiar with this faith, we are what others refer to as Mormons. We are those annoying people in white shirts and ties on bikes telling you about what we believe. and I LOVE IT! I was raised within the church by parents who loved and lived the gospel on a daily basis. I learned at an early age that this gospel is true, and I want to live my life according to how the Lord would have me. I do not feel that my life is restricted by any means. If anything, I feel more free by living this gospel, and I know I am blessed for it. My love of the gospel is deep and true, more truer than anything I know in this world.
I Know that I have a heavenly father, and I know he loves me. He knows my name, and he knows my circumstances. I love him with my whole being. While I may not know why things sometimes are the way they are, I understand that the Lord is in control and all I must do is rely on him. I Know my prayers are heard each time I pray. I Know they are answered, just perhaps not the way I planned. I strive to stand as a witness to him every day. I am not perfect by any means, and I know I will never be perfect, but through the gospel of Jesus Christ, I know I can be perfected in him.
I know that Jesus Is the Christ. I know that he suffered for me in the garden, atoning for my sins, as well as all those of the world. Through this selfless act of love, I am redeemed. I am able to enter into my father's kingdom knowing I will have an advocate to stand with me at the judgement seat. I Know he lives and he was resurrected. Because of this, I know I will live again, as well as with my family.
I Know that families are forever. I know this through my own sacred experiences in the temple and feeling the spirit touch my heart and bring me peace. I Know I will be with my husband and children for time and all eternity, but also with my parents who have past on to the next life, as well as my siblings.
I Know the plan of salvation is of the Lord. I Know he loves us and wants us to return back to him, but also wants to allow us our agency, and through our choices in life, we control how our eternities will be. I Know he placed us here to try us and allow us to become more knowledgable in the life to come.
I Know the scriptures are true, both the bible and the Book of Mormon. I have gone to the scriptures in times of sadness, joy, desperation, and anger, and I know of their power. I am grateful to have immediate access to those sacred writings and their blessings they bring to my life and the lives of others.
I Know that Thomas S. Monson is a prophet called of god and that he leads and guides the people of this church. I Know what he teaches is true and is what the lord would have us hear, as well as with the apostles and general authorities of the church.
If you have questions on what exactly we as members of the church believe, please, ASK! I am happy to share my love of this gospel with all those around me. Too Shy? I Have a link you can go to
