Your Worth

"Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God"

I am teaching in Young Womens this coming Sunday on Recognizing our Individual Worth.
Honestly this lesson couldn't have come more perfectly of a time than this, I have struggled with this issue a lot lately.  For no real reason, I just don't feel like i am doing much no matter how hard i try.  I want to feel important and like i am doing something good for the world, but sometimes the mundane day in and day out things get old and you begin to feel unimportant.  But those are the things that we really ARE supposed to be doing no matter how little or insignificant it may seem.

Last week was a hard one for me on just not really feeling good about where I am right now in life, and enjoying the moment.  After I got over my pitty party and realized how truly blessed and loved I am by my dear husband, mom, brother, in-laws, friends and family.  I just couldn't help but feel humbled and grateful to know that I am exactly where I need to be and i am blessed so incredibly much to be here.  I have had countless prayers answered and I cannot deny the power of prayer and the amazing thing it is in my life.

I know that we are sons and daughters of God.  I know that we are loved beyond anything that we can possibly imagine or comprehend.  Each of us has unique and special gifts unlike anyone else, we have a specific reason of being here at this specific place and time. 

I want to live and be the person that God sent me here to be.  When we put ourselves down and feel that we are "nobody" and feel sorry for ourselves, we cannot be those people that God needs us to be.  So be strong and realize that everything will work out and we can change the world for the better.  

Don't ever give up, always keep trying!  

Each and every morning look at yourself in the mirror no matter how weird it may seem and tell yourself something positive, soon you will be more positive and you will think more highly of yourself.  And YES it is OK to compliment yourself.

5 years since dads death, 5 lessons learned.

-
Today marks five years since my dear dad passed away.  Five years?! To say it's been an easy five years would be a complete lie.  But to say that the last five years have been completely miserable would be a lie, too.  I've experienced tender mercies of the Lord all along the way. Since it's been five years, I want to share five important lessons I've learned since my dads death. God loves us perfectly "Though we are incomplete, God loves us completely.  Though we are imperfect, He loves us perfectly.  Though we may feel lost and without compass, God's love encompasses us completely." - Dieter F Uchtdorf I often hear of people who, once something bad happens in their life,  blame everything on God.  They truly believe that if such a thing could happen in their life, then God must not love them.  I am here to tell you that that is a complete lie! I see how the easy way out for me would have been to believe that God didn't love me...

Perfect at Trying

-
I loved the movie "Meet the Mormons" that recently came out in theaters. I especially love the song that David Archuleta sings called "Glorious" that gives me goosebumps. What I love the most about this movie is a quote by the "Humanitarian" that says: "I am perfect in one thing, I am perfect in trying."  This is how I feel as well. There are days where I try so hard and despite my efforts fall short, there are days that I try so hard and things fall perfectly into place just the way I had imagined. No matter the outcome, what's important is that I keep trying. A few months back I wrote a post called "Perfectionism" and the struggle I face almost daily.  I feel like because of social media, people get a wrong idea of our lives. Most people only post the best things happening in their lives and leave out all the hard, negative moments that we each face daily. It's easy to play the game of comparison and wonder why everyone else h...

Perfectionism

-
Keep in mind:  This is very personal for me, but it was quite therapeutic to write this all down and to share with others. I hope that by me sharing it can help at least one person out there. There have been a few points in my life where I have really needed to make a big choice.   This isn’t just the little choices or decisions we all make on a daily basis, but a big choice.   Over the last what seems like couple years I have really struggled with something… something that has consumed my thoughts and actions.   Something that has crippled me at times, which has made me not want to even leave my house.   I am learning that many people out there struggle with this same thing called “perfectionism.”   This isn’t the perfectionism that we all think of, but more of a deep, dark pit of despair that I found myself in. I was such a perfectionist that I was never good enough for myself.   I’d look in the mirror and something wa...
