Humble Pie...

I am feeling so incredibly humbled right now. It will sound incredibly funny, but it feels really good. It's almost a relief to know that God really is looking out for me before I stick my big fat foot in my mouth... again. I have been a little pre-occupied in my own struggles with things that I sometimes forget that others are going through hard times too. General Conference has helped a lot. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland gave me a good kick in the pants  (as he usually does...) but it wasn't until tonight that I realized what the problem actually was.

There are those who act and those who are acted upon. God hopes that we will act, use that agency he gave us, and work to make life better for everyone around us. That in turn will bless us in ways we cannot know or begin to comprehend yet... what an awesome realization. I just wanted to share. Thanks for listening.

Happy Easter!

I have been facinated with the new movies that have come out representing the Life of Christ from the Bible. If you haven't seen them, you should definately take some time and watch them. They make is so much more real. My personal favorites are The Savior Suffers in Gethsemane and He is Risen.

I have heard the statements that Jesus suffered to the point that he bled at every pore. It didn't become concrete until I was watching these. To see the stream turn red as he is washing himself, and his robes covered afterward as the mob comes to take him... wow. I admit, I cried as I saw the angel in Gethsemane with Him.

You can see everything they have here too.

I know that my Redeemer lives, that he loves me as a precious daughter of God. He suffered and died so that I may live with my Father in Heaven again. I am eternally grateful for the unconditional love He has shown me and for the guidance and support He has provided throughout my life. I hope you all have a happy Easter!

One Year Older...

Am I wiser too? I sure hope so. But it was a wonderful birthday. I felt so much love and support. Can you guess what I got from my husband? I'll give you a hint...

Need another one?

Ok, one more, just because you need it...

Yep, you guessed it, I got a new camera! :) Can't wait to see what this baby can really do!
