Becoming Zion: An Easter Message

0

Yesterday, at the Thursday noon phone meeting of Heart t’ Heart, we had five sisters there from five different states. What an amazing blessing that was! To picture that we five were connecting across so many miles, all of one heart and one mind, admitting our need for the Savior and His personal administration in […]

First Things First

0

…having first obtained mine errand from the Lord. (Jacob 1:17) In this verse Jacob is sharing with us the actions he took after he first “obtained [his] errand from the Lord.” This is exactly what we need to do every day of our lives. We need to set aside a private, quiet time on a […]

Is This Not Christmas Morning?

0

During my years of recovery through the Atonement of Christ, I have awakened to the amazing truth that I can have a Christmas morning as many mornings out of the year as I chose.  He’s there waiting for me every time I am willing to look to Him for counsel, for comfort, for guidance and […]

Unto Me a Child is Born!

0

I love Christmas for a lot of reasons, and one of them is that I get the chance to attend a Messiah sing-in…or is it a “sing along”? Whichever, it’s so glorious to stand up and sing the “Halleluiah Chorus” at the top of my lungs and have my very “littlest angel” voice (as Michael […]

The Gift of Heart-to-Heart Communion

0

As I go through a day looking to Jesus to live, I find myself miraculously doing right, doing well. The miraculous part is that I’m not striving or trying to do right—or even to avoid “not-right” behavior. It’s happening automatically as I orient my mind, my thoughts, my  heart to Jesus Christ. I find my […]

How It All Began

0

As I knelt down this morning to offer my formal “opening prayer” for the day, I automatically (after 20 years of daily repetition) reached for my pen and notepad. I had to smile as the recognition whispered through my mind: “This is how it all began.” And it is so true. It began with my […]

Conscious Contact: The Only Thing That Fills My Need

0

We’re all different, and I can’t tell anyone else’s story or anyone else’s truth, but I am blessed to come here and have a place to tell mine. This is my truth—the truth that it has taken me many years in recovery to finally believe: Conscious contact with God is the only thing that turns […]

Reliance On God Is Wisdom, Not Your Imagination

0

“. . . And this they said he had done because of the foolish imaginations of his heart.” (1 Nephi 2:11) As you increase in recovery, you learn to depend more and more upon God to lead you—day to day, and sometimes even minute to minute. If and when you reveal your newly confessed dependency […]

With the Faith of a Prodigal

0

Today, I can say and truly mean it (and not take it back quite so fast), “Thy will, O Lord, not mine be done”  (Jacob 7:14). Why? Because today I trust Him. Why? Because today I know Him. I have ceased to be like the good son in the Master’s parable, working in my Father’s […]

Behold, the Humility of God!

0

This evening, as I went to bed, I felt reluctant to kneel, and I expressed that reluctance to the Lord, rather than hiding it (and myself) from Him. I immediately felt His reassurance that He still loves me and is willing to receive my prayers, no matter what posture I take. As that witness filled […]
