my faith.

"And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall." -Helaman 5:12

i know that i am a child of God. 

i know that Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ live, and that they love us unconditionally.

i know that Jesus Christ is our Lord, Savior, and Redeemer. He bore all of our burdens, sins, and sorrows on the cross, and He did it because He loves us. He did it because He knew that it was the only way for us to return back to live with our Heavenly Father again.

i know that if we follow God's plan for us, we will return to live with Him again.

i know that prayer works. Heavenly Father listens, and He answers. it may not be in the time that you want it to be answered, but He will answer. He is always there.

i know that when we pay our tithing, we are blessed. john and i are personal witnesses of this.

i know that the book of mormon is true. i've read it for myself, and i know that it is. 

i know that Joseph Smith was a true prophet, and through him, the church was able to be restored back to the earth after many years of apostasy. 

i know that Thomas S. Monson is a true prophet today, and that he is the Lord's mouthpiece. i also know that his counselors in the First Presidency, and the rest of the church leaders (globally and locally) are called by God to further His work on the earth.

i know that john and i will be together forever, and that liam and our future children are sealed to us for time and all eternity. what a blessing that is for me to know! there is no greater joy that i have then when i am with my little, but forever family.

we are all imperfect, but we can be made clean of our sins through the process of repentance. i have felt the power of repentance, and i can tell you that the liberation you feel is indescribable. 

i know that the powers of satan are real. he finds any nook, any cranny, any crack in your shield of faith that he can to bring temptation, guilt, and misery into your life. his end goal is to make you as miserable as he is, do not let him.
