What Matters Most.

If you have more than one piercing in each ear, 

Are you not a valued daughter of God?

If you have to work on Sunday's,

Does that make you disobedient?

If you cannot go on a mission because of health or other reasons, or had to go home early, or decided not to go, 

Does that mean your chances of being a missionary are eliminated? 

F-a-l-s-E.

Every member a missionary

Every person a child of God

Everyone has varying circumstances

The gospel does not have a set black and white chart you must follow to be righteous. Yes, there are commandments you Covenanted to keep, but that does not mean God does not love you infinitely still if you do not follow them to the same level of  exactness as your next door neighbor. Molly's life and Molly's plan and Molly's circumstances are much different than yours, so stop comparing yourself. Stop expecting other people to be on the same level you are and stop expecting yourself to be on the same level as everyone else. That is the beauty of the gospel of Jesus Christ-- the fact that we are all on the same path, just at different stages in an endless but rewarding progression. 

So don't look down on those who are not where you are yet. 

Don't look up and wish you could be standing where those ahead of you are now. 

Just kept your eyes focused on the road ahead. 

Keep an eye on your own path, your own steps. 

No one else can determine your worth but you. No one else needs to reassure you of your infinite worth but God. He is the only opinion you need to worry about, and he is utterly constant in his infinite and unchanging love. 

He loves you regardless of where you are at, and that is what matters most, so don't let anything else get in the way of that.

He Watches Over Us.

He watches out for us. 

I cannot stress this enough. 

Our Heavenly Father watches out for us more than we will ever know, more than we can ever comprehend. 


And tonight, he touched my heart, with my mission call. 

He called me to ITALY ROME where my best friend Kat Puzey is currently serving. Though we will just miss each other, I know with all my heart I am supposed to go to Italy and follow in her footsteps. 

The Lord loves me more than I can express in words, and because of this I feel a little bit better, more confident, about going out and informing other people of his love for them. 


I love the Lord. I love the Gospel. The light of Christ is something I am determined never to lose. 


Never give up, and know you are loved. 


Love,

The Best {Phone} Call I Have EVER Received.

"Today we celebrate the gift of victory over every fall we have ever experienced, every sorrow we have ever known." - Jeffrey R. Holland. 



I was feeling quite down and out last night,

just every single thing in my life did not seem to be aligning,

and I honestly just felt disconnected and just plain sad--- like I was wilting. My pages were curling up and my heart was breaking in more ways than one.


So I went to sleep, begrudgingly, and could not fall. Until I read one of my all time favorite scriptures:

"But that ye have patience, and bear with those afflictions, with a firm hope that ye shall one day rest from all your afflictions." ~ALMA 34:41

And my heart was filled with hope. I am okay. My life is really, honestly, wonderful. I am very blessed with good help and good jobs and a great setup all around. So what if I am kinda lonely, so what if I feel hurt by so many? 

I am okay. I will get through. The Lord is always looking out for me. He wants me to have what I want, in the best way possible. I am choosing to be righteous and I am choosing to follow his light. 

have courage and be kind. 





Love,
