Trust In God & In His Promises šŸ’–

In a world full of uncertainty and challenges, developing trust in God is essential to finding peace, purpose, and direction in life. Trusting in God means having faith in His wisdom, love, and ability to guide us through every aspect of our lives. This trust requires more than just believing in His existence. Itā€™s a confident expectation that He will fulfill His promises to us as we strive to live according to His will.

Trusting in God is not just about passive belief, but purposefully relying on His timing, wisdom, and love. It means that we turn to Him in all aspects of our lives, whether in times of joy or trial. As Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us to: ā€œTrust in the Lord with all thine heart and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy always acknowledge Him, and he shall direct thy paths.ā€

This passage teaches us that when we place our trust in God, we let go of the need to control everything in our lives. Instead of relying solely on our limited understanding, we turn to the Lord, trusting that He sees the bigger picture and knows what is best for us. Trusting God also requires patience, understanding that His timing may not always align with ours, but that His timing is actually always perfect.

Take a moment to think about the ways in which you are building and strengthening your trust in God. šŸ’›

Building trust in God is a daily process that requires faith, effort, and consistency. There are things that can help us build and strengthen our trust in him. For example: We can choose to pray with real intent. I love finding a quiet place if posible in nature for me to speak to my Father in Heaven. I need that time alone to align my thoughts and my soul and to be ready to Hear Him speak to me too. Prayer is our direct line of communication with God. When we pray sincerely, seeking His guidance, when we show Him that we are willing to listen, we invite his presence into our lives.

Can you imagine God seeing His precious daughter humbly praying and asking Him for help? The God that we love and serve is a God who is filled with compassion. He rejoices when we come to Him, and He wants us to know that we are never alone. That He does hear us and He wants us to feel His love and peace as we pray. S, we can purposefully try to remember daily, that every time we pray, we invite His presence to be with us . We can trust and believe that He will make Himself manifest unto us through His spirit so that we may feel His love, His guiding peace and the light that He can provide for our daily lives. ā˜€ļø

Another important way to build trust in God, is for us to study His words. The Scriptures have so many examples and stories of how God has delivered, protected and blessed His people. As we learned from the words of God, those words also testify to us and teach us that God is always faithful to those who trust Him.

One of the things that we learn from reading the words of God, is that He has asked us to keep His commandments. Heā€™s done this because He loves us and knows that as we choose to follow and keep His commandments this will bring blessings into our lives. To me obedient means that weā€™re submissive, malleable, meek and willing to be taught and shaped into who our Father in Heaven would like us to become. Obedience to God (who knows it all) is truly beautiful and rewarding. It brings a peace that will be eternal. Thereā€™s no one better in this world to obey, than to obey God. Our loving Father and creator. ā¤ļø

Obedience to Godā€™s commandments is one of the clearest ways for us to show our trust in Him. As we follow His guidance, and live according to his standards, we invite blessings into our lives. We may not always see the immediate fruits of our obedience, but trusting that Godā€˜s ways are higher than ours, will lead us to eternal blessings.

As our trust in God grows, we begin to exercise better faith in our trials. Trusting God doesnā€™t mean that life will be free of challenges. In fact, trials are often the very means by which our trust in God is tested and strengthened. President Thomas S. Monson once said ā€œTrust in the Lord with all your heart. He will do for you what no other power can. He will extend His arms of mercy toward you, to lift you up, and to carry you when you need His support.ā€ When we face difficulties with faith, trusting that God has a purpose in our suffering, we can find comfort and peace, knowing that He is shaping us into who we are meant to become.

And what about what God will do for us as we trust Him?

God has made so many beautiful promises to those who trust in Him. While we may not always see the results of our faith immediately, we are assured that God will always bless us according to His will and timing. Some of these blessings can be:

šŸ’– Having Peace Amidst Adversity:

Trusting in God, doesnā€™t eliminate challenges, but it does bring an inner peace that sustains us through them. The savior promised, ā€œPeace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.ā€ (John 14:27). This peace comes from knowing that God is in control, even when life feels uncertain.

šŸ’– Another blessing is; Receiving Guidance & Direction: When we trust in God, we can know for sure that He will lead us on the path that is right for us. Whether through promptings of the spirit, the council of leaders or the impressions we receive as we study the scriptures, God will direct our steps as we seek His will.

šŸ’– God promises to give us the strength to overcome: Trusting in God gives us the strength to phase our challenges with courage and faith. As we rely on His power, we are promised that we can overcome ALL things. As Paul wrote, ā€œI can do all things through Christ, which strengtheneth meā€ (Philippians 4:13)

And finally, God promises us His eternal reward. Godā€˜s greatest promise to those who trust in Him, is eternal life. As we remain faithful and trust in His plan throughout our lives, we are promised the opportunity to return to live with Him and our families for eternity. This eternal perspective is one too the things that can help us endure the trials of life with patience and hope. šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Itā€™s better to trust God than to trust anything or anyone else on this earth. Regardless of your challenges and circumstances that you may be facing today, just turn it all over to God. Trust in Him. Trusting in God is not a one-time decision but a lifelong journey of faith. It involves continually and DAILY turning our hearts and minds toward Him, especially when we face uncertainties or challenges.

As we develop this trust, we will find peace, guidance, and strength, knowing that God loves us and will fulfill His promises to us. So, today I want to encourage you and invite you to build a stronger relationship with your loving creator. Strengthen your relationship with Him through the power of prayer, remember that the enemy never wants you to pray. He never wants you to discover what you can accomplish with God. So, make it your priority to PRAY MORE! To let God know everything that is in your heart and mind and be willing to listen and ACT upon what God places in your heart. Read from His words daily, study, and obey His commandments in Joy.

This will allow us to be strong spiritually, mentally and physically ā¤ļø God will bless us in every aspect of our lives as we strive to follow Him and TRUST IN HIM. We can develop the deep trust that allows us to say, ā€œNot mine, but thy will be done,ā€

Godā€™s plan for us is far greater than anything we could plan for ourselves. Letā€™s TRUST HIM, LOVE HIM AND DO OUR BEST. ā¤ļø

If you need to let go of stress, worries or anxieties I invite you to give yourself one hour today to come to class. I promise that you will be able to release stress and tension and you will leave feeling peaceful and renewed. I hope that you can make it tonight at 7 PM, and invite others to benefit as well. šŸ’–

Faith Over Fear

Life is unpredictable. No matter how hard we try to plan and prepare, challenges arise that test our faith and fill us with fear and stress. We worry about the future, our families, our responsibilities, and the unknown. These burdens can feel overwhelming, making peace seem out of reach.

But the Savior invites us to take a different path. He pleads with us:

ā€œCome unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.ā€ (Matthew 11:28)

This is not just a comforting phraseā€”itā€™s a promise. Christ will give us rest if we choose to trust Him. That doesnā€™t mean our trials will disappear overnight, but it does mean that we donā€™t have to carry them alone.

When Peter walked on water toward Jesus, he did something incredible. But the moment he took his eyes off the Savior and focused on the storm, he began to sink (Matthew 14:28ā€“31). The same thing happens to us. If we focus on our fears, we will feel like weā€™re drowning in stress. But if we fix our gaze on Christ, we will find the strength to move forward. We are capable of shifting our focus to Christ no matter what weā€™re going through. It requires strength but we can choose faith over fear and feel the difference.

So how can we practice and strengthen our mind and soul to choose faith rather than fear?

1. Pray with Real Intent; Instead of letting fear dominate our thoughts, we can pour our hearts out to the Lord. He knows our struggles and stands ready to help us. When we replace anxious thoughts with heartfelt prayers, we invite peace into our lives.

2. Fill Your Mind with His Word; Fear thrives in the absence of faith. Immersing ourselves in the scriptures, in the words of God builds spiritual confidence and pushes out doubt. When we read about Godā€™s faithfulness to His children, we remember that He will also be faithful to us.

3. Turn Worry into Worship; Rather than dwelling on what we canā€™t control, we can focus on what we canā€”serving others, expressing gratitude, and deepening our relationship with Christ. When we choose to worship instead of worry, our perspective shifts from fear to trust.

4. Trust the Lordā€™s Timing; Fear often comes when we donā€™t see immediate solutions. But faith reminds us that God is never late. He is working in our lives, even when we donā€™t see it. Trusting His timing allows us to let go of stress and lean into His plan.

5. Take Action in Faith; Recognize that FEAR PARALYZES AND FAITH EMPOWERS. When we act in faith- whether by making a difficult decision, stepping outside our comfort zones, or simply choosing to believe that God is with usā€”we prove that we trust Him. And He always blesses those who move forward in faith.

The Promise of Peace. Donā€™t we all want and need a little more peace in our lives?

Jesus Christ is the Prince of Peace. When we turn to Him, He replaces our fear with faith and our stress with serenity. As we let go of our burdens and trust in Him, we will find the rest He has promised.

So today, whatever is weighing on your heart, take it to the Savior. Lay it at His feet. Allow yourself to be empowered by your faith in Christ instead of being paralyzed by fear which is what the enemy wants. Allow yourself to be the PROTECTOR of your mind. Choose thoughts that uplift you and help you. Be kind to yourself and others. Focus on the good, on your blessings, and take a moment to breathe and be present. Most importantly, remember that God loves you, and He will guide you through and be by your side to help you one day at a time.

Trust Him when He says ā€œBe still, and know that I am God.ā€ (Psalm 46:10)

Let go. Trust Him. And find peace.

Tonight in class we will focus on letting go of fear, insecurities and negativity and focusing instead on bringing in more faith,better thoughts and more peace to be with us. This is our goal for the week. Faith over fear.

I pray that this message helps you to gain strength and to renew your mind. Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm! šŸ™‚

Love,

Elevate Your Thoughts

In our fast-paced world, itā€™s easy for our minds to be filled with distractions, negativity, and even self-doubt. The Prophet Isaiah taught, ā€œFor my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lordā€ (Isaiah 55:8). This verse invites us to elevate our thoughtsā€”to seek a higher, more divine perspective in all that we do. Itā€™s always easier to let our thoughts come and go. But when we can practice recognizing and changing our thoughts for the better. This will change our lives! God wants us to be the masters of our minds and learn to elevate our thoughts.

The scriptures repeatedly emphasize the importance of our thoughts and the power of our minds. King Benjamin taught, ā€œWatch yourselves, and your thoughts, and your words, and your deedsā€ (Mosiah 4:30). Our thoughts shape our actions, our attitudes, and ultimately, our spiritual well-being. When we let our minds dwell on things that are virtuous, lovely, and praiseworthy (Philippians 4:8), we align ourselves more closely with the Spirit of the Lord.

So, what are some of the ways that we can elevate our thoughts?

1. Immerse Ourselves in the Scriptures

The words of Christ have the power to cleanse and uplift our minds. As we study the scriptures daily, we invite light and truth into our hearts, replacing fear and negativity with faith and understanding. How amazing for us to be able to recognize that each one of us has the power to replace the negativity with faith and love toward God instead.

2. Pray For a Renewed Mind.

Have you ever thought about asking God to help you change your thoughts? To help you renew your mind? The Apostle Paul encouraged us to be ā€œtransformed by the renewing of [our] mindā€ (Romans 12:2). Prayer is a powerful tool in this process. When we sincerely ask for help in thinking more righteously, the Lord strengthens us to see ourselves and others as He does. We will also see that when we ask God to help us with our thoughts that little prayer in our heart will allow us to be more aware of the thoughts that are coming from the energy vs the thoughts that come from God. He wants to bless our minds to be aligned, anchored and renewed by our Savior Jesus Christ.

3. Guard What We Consume

What we watch, read, and listen to greatly influences our thoughts. If we want to elevate our minds, we should be mindful of what we allow into our hearts. Uplifting music, wholesome entertainment, and positive conversations can help us maintain a spirit of peace.

4. Serve Others with Love

Christlike service shifts our focus from selfish concerns to the needs of others. As we follow the Saviorā€™s example and love our neighbors, our thoughts become more centered on kindness, gratitude, and humility. Service helps us to heal and allows us to be more connected to our creator who is loving, kind and compassionate with all of us.

5. Seek to Have The Spirit & To Be in Holy Places

Our Home can be a holy place, being in nature can be a holy place, attending church of a Temple can also allow our minds and hearts to be lifted toward God. Creating places of peace for ourselves can allow our minds to think ā€œeternalā€ and encourage us to live a life that is more aligned with God and what He has for our lives.

In addition to spiritual practices, there are also mindfulness techniques that can help us to elevate our thoughts. These are a few techniques can help us become more aware of our thoughts and guide them toward positivity and faith. Here are a few ways to practice mindfulness.

1. Centering Prayer and Breathwork

Take a few moments each day to sit in stillness, focus on your breathing, and silently repeat a scripture or phrase like, ā€œBe still, and know that I am Godā€ (Psalm 46:10). This helps calm the mind and create space for inspiration from the Spirit.

2. Thought Awareness and Reframing

Throughout the day, pay attention to your thoughts. When you notice negativity, doubt, or fear creeping in, gently reframe your thinking. For example, replace ā€œIā€™m not good enoughā€ with ā€œI am a child of God, and He is helping me grow.ā€

3. Gratitude Journaling

Writing down three things youā€™re grateful for each day shifts your focus from whatā€™s wrong to whatā€™s right. Gratitude invites more joy and helps us recognize Godā€™s hand in our lives.

4. Mindful Scripture Study

Instead of rushing through scripture reading, slow down. Read a verse or two, pause, and ask, ā€œWhat does this mean for me today?ā€ Let the words sink into your heart and ponder their personal application.

5. Nature Walks with Purpose

Take a walk outside and intentionally notice Godā€™s creationsā€”the colors of the sky, the feeling of the wind, the sounds of birds. As you do this, offer silent prayers of gratitude, allowing the beauty of the earth to uplift your spirit.

I pray that this message will allow you to check your thoughts. The more aware we are of our thoughts the more we will recognize that there are hidden blessings in having higher thoughts.

When we consciously choose to elevate our thoughts, we invite more joy, clarity, and peace into our lives. President Russell M. Nelson has said, ā€œWhen you reach up for the Lordā€™s power in your life with the same intensity that a drowning person has when grasping and gasping for air, power from Jesus Christ will be yours.ā€

As we strive to elevate our thoughts, we come closer to the Savior. Our faith grows, our burdens feel lighter, and we experience a greater measure of His love and guidance.

Let us make a daily effort to think higher, to align our minds with Godā€™s, and to let our thoughts reflect the light of Christ.

Tonight in class we will not only get rid of stress and allow our bodies to become stronger and healthier. But we will also take a moment to slow down our thinking, renew and strengthen our thoughts to be more aligned and anchored in Christ. I promise that after coming to this class, youā€™ll feel AMAZING Physically, Mentally and Spiritually. Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm. ā¤ļøšŸ„°

Thy Will Be Done ā¤ļø

I recently read this quote that I loved and I wanted to share it with you. It says: ā€œThe submission of oneā€™s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on Godā€™s altar. The many other things we ā€˜give,ā€™ ā€¦ are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us. However, when you and I finally submit ourselves, by letting our individual wills be swallowed up in Godā€™s will, then we are really giving something to Him! It is the only possession which is truly ours to give!ā€ (Elder Neal A. Maxwell)

Iā€™ve been thinking about how we can reach a higher level of aligning our will to Gods, and this quote really struck me. Itā€™s so true that everything that we have comes from God…The one and only thing that we can willingly offer or give to God is our will. ā¤ļø & even though that seems hard to do, because we donā€™t want to let go of the control of our things. We have to recognize that at some point or another in our lives we are faced with opportunities or challenges that teach us to practice what it means to let go of our will and bring it into alignment or submission to Gods.

Jesus Christ is the perfect example of submitting to the Fatherā€™s will. His entire mortal ministryā€”from His baptism to His suffering in Gethsemane and ultimate sacrifice on the crossā€”was a testimony of complete obedience, humility, and trust in the Fatherā€™s plan. By studying how He aligned His will with Godā€™s, we can learn to do the same in our own lives.

One of the ways we can learn about this, is by the example of how JESUS FOLLOWED THE FATHERā€™S WILL.

1. He Sought the Fatherā€™s Will in All Things.
Jesus never acted alone. He constantly sought His Fatherā€™s direction. He declared, ā€œFor I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent meā€ (John 6:38). His mission was not about personal gain or comfort but about fulfilling Godā€™s divine plan. I believe that we can try to follow Christs example by going to our Father in Heaven more often in prayer and seeking for His direction. That we may trust in Him in ALL THINGS just as Christ did.

2. He Prayed with Sincerity and Submission
In the Garden of Gethsemane, Christ demonstrated the deepest form of submission when He prayed, ā€œFather, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be doneā€ (Luke 22:42). Even when faced with unimaginable suffering, He chose to trust the Fatherā€™s wisdom over His own desires.

3. He Acted with Faith, Even When It Was Hard
Jesus didnā€™t just acknowledge the Fatherā€™s will, He acted on it. He healed, taught, served, and ultimately gave His life, knowing that the Fatherā€™s plan was perfect. His willingness to endure all things, including rejection, pain, and death, was rooted in His absolute trust in Godā€™s purpose.

4. He Found Strength Through the Spirit
The Savior was never alone in His obedience. He was strengthened by the power of the Holy Ghost. ā€œAnd there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening himā€ (Luke 22:43). Just as He received divine help, we too can be strengthened when we seek to do Godā€™s will.

So, how can we follow the Fatherā€™s will?

1. Seek Revelation Daily
Just as Jesus turned to the Father in prayer, we must also seek Godā€™s will through sincere communication. Regular, heartfelt prayer invites personal revelation, and studying the scriptures helps us recognize His voice.

2. Be Willing to Submit, Even When Itā€™s Hard
Sometimes, Godā€™s plan may differ from our own. Like Christ, we must be willing to say, ā€œNot my will, but thine, be done.ā€ This requires humility, faith, and trust that God knows what is best for us.

3. Act on What You Receive
Faith is not just believing…Itā€™s acting. When we receive promptings, follow them, even if they are difficult or unclear. As we move forward with faith, the Lord will guide our steps.

4. Rely on the Strength of the Atonement
Jesus Christ not only set the example…He also made it possible for us to succeed. When we struggle to follow Godā€™s will, we can turn to the enabling power of the Atonement. Through Christ, we can overcome fear, doubt, and weakness, allowing us to press forward with confidence.

When we choose to follow the Fatherā€™s will, we find true peace, joy, and purpose. The world may not always understand our choices, and trials may still come, but as we align our will with Godā€™s, we will feel His love and direction in ways we never imagined.

Just as Christ trusted the Fatherā€™s plan and was exalted in glory, we too can receive all that the Father has as we faithfully follow Him. As President Russell M. Nelson has taught, ā€œWhen you know your divine identity and purpose, your life takes on new meaning.ā€

As we choose give to God the one and only thing that we can truly give to Him, our will. We will see that we will be blessed for placing our trust in our creator and in our Savior! He is our exemplar, the Savior will be ready to help us in our journey of letting go of our ā€œnatural manā€ & in the process of giving our will to Gods. As we practice trusting in Him, we will see that its easier to act on the impressions that we feel. We will be able to feel closer to the Lord, trust His plan, and move forward with faith.

Donā€™t ever forget that you have a loving God ready to help you. He wants you to trust HIM. He will lead you, strengthen you and bless your life in ways you cannot yet see. I pray that youā€™ll feel this stronger desire in your life to let go and trust in God more. Enough to be able to say ā€œThy will, not mine be done.ā€

Hope that you can make it to class tonight to release stress and to help you strengthen your body mind and spirit. Our meditation will be focused on letting go of the things that are heavier and inviting more light, peace and love into our lives. Hope to see you there!! šŸ„°ā¤ļø

Nourishing The Whole Self šŸ’–

In a world filled with constant demands, fast-paced schedules, and unrelenting challenges, itā€™s easy to feel stretched thin, pulled in every direction and left wondering how to find balance. Yet, many of us have been blessed to have learned about divine truths that teach us the importance of nurturing not just one aspect of ourselves, but the whole self: body, mind, and spirit.

This holistic approach to self-care is not just a fleeting trend or some nice words to say. Itā€™s actually been taught by God our Father in Heaven and by our Savior Jesus Christ. When we learn to care for all three elements of our being, we unlock greater peace, strength, and purpose.

The Body: A Sacred Temple

Our bodies are gifts from a loving Heavenly Father. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Paul reminds us that our bodies are temples of the Holy Ghost and that we are “bought with a price.” Recognizing the sacred nature of our physical bodies inspires us to treat them with reverence and care.

This means nourishing our bodies with wholesome food, getting sufficient rest, and finding joy in movement. It also means avoiding substances or practices that harm our physical well-being. As we strive to avoid addictive substances or practices, and as we strive to care for our body, we are better able to align ourselves with God’s design, and we invite greater health and vitality into our lives.

But caring for our bodies goes beyond physical health. Itā€™s about cultivating gratitude for the miracle of life itself. When we honor our bodies, we acknowledge their divine purpose as vessels to carry out Godā€™s work on earth. We can express gratitude for everything that our bodies are able to do for us daily. And we can allow ourselves to walk day to day filled with love and gratitude for the body we are given and the blessing of being able to care for it and love it.

The Mind: A Gateway to Truth

Our minds are incredible gifts. Capable of creativity, reasoning, reflection and growth. In Doctrine and Covenants 93:36 says; “The glory of God is intelligence, or, in other words, light and truth.” Caring for our minds means dedicating ourselves to lifelong learning, filling our thoughts with all that is positive, uplifting and good. And seeking knowledge in both spiritual and temporal matters.

In a world overflowing with information, itā€™s important for us to be discerning. Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf has taught, ā€œSeek out the majesty, the beauty, and the exhilarating joy of the truths of the gospel. They will lift your spirits and cause your burdens to fade into the backgroundā€. We also read in D&C 88:118 Seek ye diligently and teach one another words of wisdom; yea, seek ye out of the best books words of wisdom; seek learning, even by study and also by faith.

Developing our minds also includes protecting our mental health. Turning to the Savior in times of stress or discouragement, seeking professional help when needed, and surrounding ourselves with supportive people are all ways to strengthen this powerful and amazing gift of our mind, that God has given us.

The Spirit: Anchored in Christ

At the core of everything is the spirit. The eternal part of us that connects with God. Nurturing our spirits involves daily habits of prayer, scripture study, seeking quiet moments and worship. Itā€™s through these practices that we hear Godā€™s voice and feel His guidance in our lives.

The Savior Himself set the perfect example of spiritual self-care. He often withdrew from the crowds to pray and commune with His Father (Luke 5:16). Likewise, we must prioritize time to be still, reflect, and reconnect with the divine.

President Russell M. Nelson said: ā€œThrough daily prayer and feasting upon the words of Christ in the scriptures and the words of living prophets, we can receive the Saviorā€™s guidance and protectionā€. When we invest in our spiritual well-being, we are strengthened to face lifeā€™s challenges with faith and hope.

Striving for Balance

Caring for the body, mind, and spirit is not about perfection but about progress. Some seasons may demand more focus on one area than another, and thatā€™s okay. The key is to strive for balance and listen to the quiet promptings of the Spirit, which often guide us toward what we need most.

When we take the time to nurture ourselves holistically, we become better instruments in the hands of God. We are more prepared to serve, love, and fulfill our divine potential.

Heavenly Father gives us a divine invitation to care for our whole beings. Our own individual body, mind, and spirit working together in harmony. By caring for each part of ourselves, we honor His plan and draw closer to Him. As we seek to nurture our whole selves, let us remember the Saviorā€™s loving invitation:

ā€œCome unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you restā€ (Matthew 11:28).

Through Him, we can find true rest, healing, and joy as we strive to care for the beautiful, divine creations that we are. Let us embrace this journey with faith, knowing that we are never alone. & that God has a beautiful plan and purpose for our lives. He loves us and wants us to love, care and protect our whole self. Recognizing that each day comes with a blessing a gift and an opportunity to care for this body, mind and spirit.

I pray that this message will allow you to feel a little more connected to your divine love of our creator and loving Father in Heaven. That you may have a stronger desire to care for your whole self and that you may be a light to others on their journey of loving and caring for themselves as well.

Tonight in class, we will have an opportunity to strengthen our bodies, release stress, quiet our minds and give our spirit a little time to recharge. I hope that you can join us and that you can leave feeling amazing physically, mentally and Spiritually. Love you all & canā€™t wait to see you there! šŸ’–

Be Still šŸ’–

The other day I was rushing through my day, trying to do things as fast as possible. I noticed that it was cloudy and gloomy which is unusual for the Florida sunshine that weā€™re used to having. But itā€™s on days like these when I usually feel kinda lazy, bummed and not really wanting to do much. But this specific day I was just going, going going! As fast as I could to try to get things done before appointments and having to leave the house to run errands and stuff.

All of a sudden, while I was running around I saw the sun fully come through the clouds and light up my backyard! ā˜€ļø It was as if the sunshine was calling me, because I felt this voice in my heart telling me to STOP everything I was doing and just step outside to enjoy the sunlight for a few minutes before it went away. I quickly took my AirPods out of my ears and ran outside to just sit in the sun for a moment.

As I was sitting there, I took a moment to just close my eyes, take a few deep breaths, and give myself a moment to say a little prayer and talk to my Father in Heaven for a little while. After I finished my prayer, the sun became even brighter! šŸ„¹ As it shown down on me, I could feel that my heart, mind and spirit were completely covered by my Heavenly Fatherā€™s love! ā¤ļø I felt that He knows me completely and the love that I felt is more than what I can describe.

The answer to my prayers was so beautifulā€¦& even though iā€™m not sharing all of the details about it…I cried because I heard & felt the voice of my Father in Heaven clearly speak to my mind and heart. It was so beautiful! & I get emotional just thinking about it. There was a moment during that answer that I received when I felt the presence and love from my Grandpa who passed away years ago. I couldnā€™t believe that God was answering my prayer and that He allowed me to feel the presence of my grandpa, šŸ˜­ his immense love for me, for his daughter (my mom) and for my whole family. It was so beautiful! I think that we often forget that our loved ones who are in Heaven are also our angels. & theyā€™re also willing to comfort us when we need it. It was an amazing experience and something that Iā€™ll never be able to forget. šŸ’– But I still wanted to share it, in case itā€™s meant to help at least one of you whoā€™s reading this message.

So, when people say, how do you know that God lives or that He really exists?…Itā€™s because of experiences like these that I know that He lives! Itā€™s when I know that I couldnā€™t possibly make up something like the experience that I had. That the feelings that I experienced, what I heard and saw in my mind and what I felt in my heart, canā€™t be duplicated. I know that God spoke to me this week and Iā€™m incredibly thankful for that and I know I canā€™t deny what I felt. Itā€™s just amazing to me. šŸ„²ā¤ļø

These are the moments that are treasured in my heart & that remind me that thereā€™s a loving God who does want to hear from us. He wants to answer our prayers, He wants us to know that He LOVES US. And that Heā€™s there for us ready to give us guidance and wisdom. As long as weā€™re willing to step away from our distractions and just be in a moment of STILLNESS. To allow ourselves to pour our heart to Him, to seek His light ā˜€ļø and to allowing ourselves to just have a moment listen and wait for Him to speak to us. šŸ«¶šŸ¼

James 1:5-6 says

5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

6 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

So, if you feel that youā€™re lacking wisdom or that you need help with ANYTHING that you may be going through in your life…I invite you to TRUST in Gods promise when He says that if you lack wisdom HE WILL GIVE IT TO YOU! I invite you to set aside all the things for a few minutes and to just give yourself a moment to sit in nature. To speak to God and open your heart to Him. & then, I invite you to just be in stillness and listen. šŸ’– Focusing all of your heart, mind and energy to just inviting the light of your Father in Heaven and your Savior Jesus Christ to be poured over you. I promise that as you do so, you will feel and know for yourself that God loves you! That He cares about every little thing thatā€™s going on in your life & that YOU ARE IN HIS HANDS.

Speaking to each of us, the Lord says, ā€œFear ā€¦ not; ā€¦ I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; ā€¦ I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.ā€

I pray that you may experience Gods divine love for yourself! That you may seek the light or the ā€œsunshineā€ that He can provide especially on the darkest and cloudiest days of your life. I know that He will be there for you. So, make yourself a promise that you will set aside time for stillness in your day, to speak to your loving Father in Heaven in the name of our Savior Jesus Christ. & that you may feel peace in your heart. A peace that is not of this world, but a peace and a love that goes straight into your soul. God wants to speak to you individually. He wants to let you know that Heā€™s there!l. We just have to do our part to come to Him and to experience Him for ourselves.

I love the words of C. S. Lewis when he said: ā€œI pray because I canā€™t help myself. ā€¦ I pray because the need flows out of me all the time, waking and sleeping. It doesnā€™t change God. It changes me.ā€

Iā€™m so thankful for the experience that I had this week with prayer. It definitely changed me and it continues to transform me to know that God is present in my life. I pray that the power of prayer and stillness will change each one of us individually. ā¤ļø & I hope that you know that Iā€™m here for you too!! If thereā€™s ever an experience or a struggle that you want to share with me, Iā€™m here hear it and to be with you on this journey. šŸ„¹šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Tonight in class we will not only get rid of stress and strengthen our bodies. But we will also make time for stillness and to have a moment to feel closer to God. I invite you to do this for yourself. It will feel amazing and you wonā€™t regret it. šŸ„¹ā¤ļøšŸ™šŸ¼ Love you all and hope to see you tonight at 7pm. šŸ„°

Love,

Inner Peace Keeper šŸ’›

With everything going on in our world, and the different challenges that we all face, Itā€™s easy to allow the chaos of it all to increase and cause greater emotional stress, fear and anxiety.

We see that not only is our peace constantly being attacked, but weā€™re becoming more addicted to distraction, devices, comparison, food etc. It seems like weā€™re all looking for ways to ā€œnumbā€our emotions. We seem more disconnected and more attached to whatā€™s going on around us and outside of ourselves than knowing whatā€™s going on within us.

Have you noticed that the world as a whole is having a harder time controlling their feelings, thoughts and emotions? People seem to be more explosive, less patient and unable to control themselves. Sadly, weā€™re becoming a society thatā€™s more disconnected, divided and addicted. Numbing our emotional stress with outside sources and completely forgetting how to stop, breathe and silence our minds and hearts.

Itā€™s during times like these that we need to reach inward a little more. We need to practice checking in with our internal self a little more often. Allowing ourselves to take a moment to breathe, calm our mind and heart and check in with kindness and love about how weā€™re feeling and doing. The practice of checking in on ourselves will allow us to see where weā€™re experiencing pain and disappointment. So that we may ā€œprocessā€ that pain the best way we can without having to reach for our typical ā€œnumbingā€ actions. Can you imagine how amazing it would feel to practice and learn how to regulate our own internal feelings, thoughts and emotions? To have a place of peace where we can compassionately deal with the situations and invite God to help us keep our strengthen and our inner peace centered and focused for whatever we may have to experience.

Remember that the enemy of our souls will always push for us to become dependent on outside sources. So that we may become a ā€œslaveā€ to those things. The enemy will even lie to each one of us and tell us that itā€™s too uncomfortable to sit with our feelings. That we canā€™t look within ourselves etcā€¦But thatā€™s exactly how he ties us to more addictions and material things that keep us away from God. The enemy knows that if he can keep us distracted, unable to process our feelings and especially keeping us from speaking or communicating with God. Then, thatā€™s exactly how he wins. By attaching us to worldly desires and making us miserable like himself.

God, our Father in Heaven, on the other hand, wants us to be able to RISE ABOVE that. He wants us to LEARN HOW TO TAKE CARE OF PROTECTING OUR INNER PEACE. He wants us to CHOOSE FOR OURSELVES to turn to our creator for the help that we need.

So, we can choose to create within ourselves that strong determination to remind ourselves constantly that WE ARE CHILDREN OF GOD. & as such, WE HAVE ACCESS TO DIVINE POWER, LIGHT AND GREATER PEACE. He wants us to know that we donā€™t need to depend on anything material or of this world to bring us the peace that we seek. But to know instead, that God is the giver of our peace. He can provide that peace way more abundantly, even amidst the storms of life. So that when the difficulties come, we may know in whom we trust and remain peaceful and faithful.

This week I want to motivate you and encourage you to push past the discomfort & take a deeper look within yourself. Remember that this will most likely not feel very comfortable at first, and you may be tempted to grab your phone or turn on the TV, or call a friend or whatever else you try to do to get out of fully sitting for a moment and just feeling your feelings and emotions. 

The goal is to practice when youā€™re triggered by something. Just take a moment to close your eyes, cover your ears, breathe and feel within yourself whatā€™s going on. Take a moment to see your feelings and thoughts clearly. If itā€™s possible, see them from a distanceā€¦so that theyā€™re not fully ā€œattached to you.ā€ Take a moment to recognize that you are not your thoughts, and that you get to choose how to reach to every situation.

Allow your in this moment to invite divine light into your heart and soul. Ask God to be with you. To give you His LOVE, His STRENGTH, and His PEACE. Ask Him to remove those feelings. Then allow yourself to feel that amazing power flowing from God INTO YOUR HEART, MIND AND SOUL. His healing light will be with you as you allow yourself to be open to receiving from Him. Thereā€™s nothing in the world that can compare to that feeling of knowing that something comes directly from God to you!!! ā¤ļø So, JUST LISTEN FOR WHAT GOD WILL SPEAK TO YOUR HEART AND MIND. If youā€™d like to record your feelings or write down any wisdom that God places in your heart, that will be an amazing blessing to you to be able to recognize, record and act on what God speaks directly to YOU. šŸ«¶šŸ¼

This is how your inner peace wonā€™t be attached to material or worldly things. But instead it will be attached to God. So that when you leave this earth you will experience that same peace of knowing that God knows you and that YOU KNOW HIM, LOVE HIM AND TRUST HIM. ā¤ļø God loves to speak to you!!! He wants a relationship with you, but you have to be willing to be silent, to not be distracted but to listen with a humble heart and be willing to do what feels right, good, loving and peaceful to your heart, mind and soul. God speaks. We just have to listen and allow His light to fill our minds and hearts and keep us anchored on trusting in God and not the world around us.

We can become our own best cheerleader! Our own best friend, our own protector of our peace in this life. We can gain greater strength to reject all that is bad or damaging for our minds, hearts and souls. We can fight against evil and focus instead on inviting all that is good, all that invites compassion, love and peace to reside within us. As we strengthen ourselves internally we will be able to respond better and in a wider and higher way to all the different difficulties that we may have in this life. Our inner peace and strength need to become one of our highest priorities. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼šŸ„°

So, letā€™s take a moment to practice breathing. Check on your emotions and change them for the better. Take a moment to just sit in silence. Close your eyes and breathe. Whatever is troubling you today, whatever is bringing you fear or frustrationā€¦.Take a moment to sit with those feelings. Recognize each emotion and how it presents in your body. For example; ā€œThis is anger or frustration, I feel tightness in my chest or I feel it in my throat..etcā€ ā€œI want to release this emotion and allow myself to come to peace & calmā€ you can say to yourself ā€œI invite the peace of God to come and be with me. To heal me and to strengthen me and remind me of my inner and divine light. ā€œ I choose this hour to keep my peace centered on a God who sees me, who hears me, who loves me and who wants to help me. ā€œ I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me and with His help I protect my inner peace and I choose light, love and peace to be with and to surround me on this day.ā€ ā¤ļø As a child of God, I am love, I am peace, I am complete, whole and protected.ā€ Whatever comes to your heart that inspires love, and light comes from God. Keep Breathing and feel that peace calmness covering you completely. šŸ’›

After you do this for yourself, be proud of your ability to look inward and to allow yourself to check on how youā€™re doing internally in your mind, heart and soul. Be thankful for the opportunity to feel these emotions, and to be able to reach up to God who is the true giver of lasting peace. Recognize how Heā€™s able to be with you in this very moment, to help you clear the internal chaos & to RETURN you to calm, joy and peace. šŸ’›

Our goal for this week is that we may be the best inner peace keeper that we can be for ourselves. To allow for quiet moments to be with us so that we may connect to that higher source of peace and love which comes from God. We can ask God to help us focus on our internal light and peace instead of what the world wants us to focus on. We can ask Him to give us the strength to change the way we view ourselves or others and to strengthen our ability to protect our inner peace. I know that as we practice this skill, it will increase your inner power day by day and we will experience true Joy and true peace regardless of the other attachments that this world tries to place on us. Weā€™ve got this! God wants us to feel His peace and He will help us to do so.

John 14:27 Says: ā€œPeace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.ā€ā¤ļø 

Thereā€™s nothing greater on this earth than being able to experience the peace that can only come from a loving God. He will strengthen you, help you and lift you, take away your fears and fill your life with peace one hour at a time. ā¤ļø I pray that youā€™ll be able to feel His peace and allow yourself to be the KEEPER AND THE PROTECTOR OF YOUR LIGHT AND INNER PEACE.

This is our Spiritual goal this week is: To be the protector of or our inner peace, and that we wonā€™t depend on material things to help us feel better. But instead that we may have the wisdom to know where true peace comes from. To learn about our divine ability to seek a better relationship within ourselves and with our creator so that we may be comfortable in our bodies and able to deal with our emotions in a healthier way allowing Godā€™s peace to recharge us and be with us more fully. šŸ«¶šŸ¼

Our Physical goals is to exercise at least 2-3 times this week and to give our body more water and healthy nutrient rich foods that we need. ā¤ļø

Hope To see you in class tonight at 7pm. Make this promise to yourself to do this for your Body, Mind and Spirit. This will allow you to release stress, strengthen yourself Physically, emotionally and spiritually. We will have an amazing opportunity to practice being the keeper of our inner peace during a wonderful meditation. Hope that you can make it and feel the difference.

Love,

New Year Renewal šŸ’›

As this New Year begins we all have a desire to better ourselves, to set goals for ourselves and to work toward them. But did you know that the majority of people give up on their New Year’s resolutions within four months, and many people abandon them within the first two weeks? I hope that each one of us can take a moment this week to think about the types of goals we want to have. To make them with a spirit of prayer and looking for the wisdom that God wants to provide us so that we may strive to work on them, one day at a time and to not give up on them. šŸ™‚

God wants to help us to better ourselves. He wants us to come to Him and to seek His divine wisdom and guidance for our lives. We can trust that He will provide the inspiration that we need so that we may know which goals are the best goals. Not just thinking about what we want but most importantly to think about what goals God would want us to set for ourselves.

Having Gods approval as we set our goals, will create a stronger within us to work toward them. So, take your goals to Him and ask Him to help you to know what is the best goals to set for yourself spiritually, mentally, physically, emotionally, financially etc. God wonā€™t overwhelm you. Instead He will help you to feel peace, to let you know that He loves you and He will help you to recognize the things that matter most.

Our Father in Heaven wants us to be prepared to meet Him. So, we must strive daily to have a good relationship with our creator so we may be inspired to know the things that we need to change or the things that we need to do more of to be able to see Him whenever is our time to leave this earth. We all know that life is vulnerable, none of us know much time we really have on this earth. A friend of mine recently lost her mother unexpectedly from one day to the next. It was heartbreaking for her family and Iā€™m important reminder that this is the time to prepare to meet God. None of us know when we will be called to the presence of God. But how amazing will it feel to know that we KNOW GOD. That He knows is and that we trust in Him and His wisdom.

Whatever we have going on in our spirit, is exactly what will rise with us in the spirit world. The prophets have warned us: ā€œYe cannot say ā€¦ that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will ā€¦ possess your body in that eternal world.ā€ Another prophet adds, ā€œHe that is filthy shall be filthy still; and he that is righteous shall be righteous still.ā€

Great is the knowledge that ā€œwhatever principle of intelligence we attain ā€¦ in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection.ā€ ā€œGod has ā€¦ a time ā€¦ appointed ā€¦ when He will bring all His subjects, who have obeyed His voice and kept His commandments, into His celestial rest. This rest is of such perfection and glory, that man has need of a preparation before he can, according to the laws of that kingdom, enter it and enjoy its blessings. ā€¦ God has given certain laws to the human family, which, if observed, are sufficient to prepare them to inherit this rest.ā€

These words from prophets are true! We must strive daily to live each day as if itā€™s our last. To repent, forgive, love more, express our love to others, take care of our body, mind and spirit in the way that God would want us to today.

So, one of the most important things we can do for ourselves is to live in the now. To know that we canā€™t control the past or the future. All we have power to control is the now. The gift of being here today at this very moment. This is the only time we really have. You have chosen to read this message šŸ™‚ so, try to slow down a little to practice being present. Just breathe and Take a moment to connect to what you see, hear, smell, taste, touch. Look at the nature around you. Look up at the sky, see the clouds passing, notice the trees and all living things which God continues to support and care of. Remember that not one leaf falls without His knowledge. And just as He takes care of the animals and the plants…How much more will He take care of YOU? Who are His Child. ā¤ļø

This New Year I invite you to be more present, more focused on Christ. More willing to let go of your lusts and desires and instead anchor yourself more on God. Set your Goals with Gods approval and guidance. Focus on each hour that you have. To take it one day at a time remembering that the only time to be present and focused on the truly important things is now.

I invite you to strengthen your relationship with God and to believe in Him. Mosiah 4:9 says: “Believe in God; believe that he is, and that he created all things, both in heaven and in earth; believe that he has all wisdom, and all power, both in heaven and in earth; believe that man doth not comprehend all the things which the Lord can comprehend”

And as you seek God throughout your year remember what Hebrews 11:6 says: ā€œBut without faith it is impossible to please Him. For he that cometh to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him”

God doesnā€™t want us to run faster than we have strength. He wants us to have wisdom on what we choose to do with our time. He just wants you to trust Him, to believe in His rewards for us. & to invite Him to be in our lives MORE! ā¤ļø So that we may feel His love, peace, grace, forgiveness and abundance in our process of becoming one day at a time, one hour at a time.

Finally, I want to remind you that God has purpose for your life. When God created us He had a plan in mind and a mission for each one of us to accomplish. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,ā€ declares the LORD, ā€œplans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. God wants us to be hopeful, to trust Him and to do our best to accomplish His plans for us.

I promise that if you make it a daily goal to speak to God and seek for His wisdom, the Holy Ghost, who is the comforter, from the presence of God, will come upon you and bring you peace. He will assure us that God hears all of our prayers, that He is taking care of us and ALL will be ok.

As we choose to act on communicating with God and continue to have faith in Godā€™s power, He will strengthen us individually and give us the daily bread or daily wisdom to help us know what we should focus on this day and this hour. Remember that we canā€™t just wish for things to happen and thatā€™s it. When we have faith in God we gain a stronger desire to ACT. We become more willing to put in the work necessary toward becoming who we are meant to be.

God said; ā€œWhatsoever thing ye shall ask the Father in my name, which is good, in Faith believing that ye shall receive, behold it shall be done unto you.ā€ (Moroni 7:26)

God is ready to bless us when we have a pure heart. We can seek Him and ask Him, BELIEVING that we will receive.

Christ said; ā€œIf ye will have faith in me ye shall have power to do whatsoever thing is expedient in me.ā€ (Moroni 7:33) That promise in His word, reminds us that we will have power through our faith to accomplish the desires of our hearts that align with the desires that God has for us. So, with our Faith in God, weā€™re better able to see more clearly which goals we should focus on and actually work on accomplishing them.

I pray that you feel inspired to reach out to God and seek His peace, strength and light today. I know He has helped me when I have asked Him for help and I know that He will do the same for you too!

Love you all and thank you for having a desire to keep Godā€™s light flowing through you. Heā€™s got you & He will help you to become the best version of yourself one day at a time. šŸ’ŖšŸ¼šŸ˜‰ Trust Him! Believe in Him and Know that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. Letā€™s have an amazing 2025! Canā€™t wait to see you in class tonight to start working on our physical and spiritual goals šŸ„°ā¤ļøšŸŽ‰

Daily Gifts šŸ’›

I recently read a quote which says; ā€œEvery sunrise is a blessing, a gift just for today. Embrace it and enjoy it before it fades away.ā€ Sadly, we often take the little things for granted. The blessing of a new day, the ability to move, the health that we have are all gifts from above. We donā€™t have to be stressed about so muchā€¦we can choose to remember the Father of Lights and acknowledge the gifts that He has given us today. I invite you to take a moment to look for the fingerprints of God, of His Love and His divinity that is surrounding you today.

Some days may be harder than others. Regardless of the type of day we may be having, itā€™s important to remember that we need to slow down. To focus on TODAY. To take it one day at a time or one moment at a time. We can make a conscious choice to be present, in the here and now. We can ask God to help us become more aware of our surroundings, and more willing to focus on our blessings.

We can choose to be filled with Peace in this moment. We can choose to be filled with Love and light. All of these are gifts that God is willing to provide for us as long as we ask Him and come to Him with a sincere heart. We can choose today to focus our attention on seeing the light, beauty and love that is woven in all that surrounds us at this very moment.

God would like us to practice being more present. He tells us in Mathew 6:34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

We can remind ourselves that God invited us to focus on being present. As his children He gives us the opportunity to choose how we want to react to things and what to focus on. So, we get to choose. Do we want to invite to this moment an opportunity to feel closer to God? Do we want to acknowledge and express gratitude for the gifts that we have today? For the opportunity to live, love, smile and have peace? Reminding ourselves that there wonā€™t be another day like today. We have never seen a day like this before. We get to choose what to focus on. Therefore we must try to make it the best it can be. To focus our choices and activities on what is truly important and on what will allow us to feel more peaceful and connected to God and His love and light for us.

We can change the way we see things normally, we may have a pattern for how we view things and do things. But what if today we choose to focus on seeing and being present in the beauty that is around us. We can start to view our day as being saturated in sacred sights and sounds. Then, this moment right here, right now, where we are, either feeling broken, messy, or whatever it may be, can be transformed into a beautiful & a holy moment.

James 1:17 Saysļæ¼: Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turningļæ¼.

God is the provider and the giver of all Good gifts. If we choose to see His light in our lives, we will see Him and feel Him. He gives us more than we realize daily. He loves us and wants us to keep our view rising above the things of this world. He wants us to be more focused on Him. To trust in The Father of Lights, the Father of our souls. Please know that He knows you and LOVES YOU!!! He has a perfect plan for you. Even if things feel hard and heavy to handleā€¦.just remember that you CAN DO ALL THINGS WITH HIS HELP! He will get you through it ALL & as you trust Him, and come to Him, you will be able to experience more of His light.

So, letā€™s remind ourselves today to look up! Look up to the Father of lights to fill us with more light. As his children we already have his light within us. But it is up to us to fill our hearts, homes and all that surrounds us with more of His divine light. 

Letā€™s remember to not allow the enemy to bring us down. Recognizing the negative ways in which he affects us. But also remembering that weā€™re stronger than we realize. Our power comes from our Father in Heaven, who is filled with love, light and peace. He is the giver of all good gifts. Who is granting us the gift of being here today. We have to let some things go and understand that ALL THINGS ARE UNDER HIS CONTROL.

We can reject negativity with prayer and feeding our minds and souls all that is good & uplifting. So, change things up today! Choose Christian music to lift you! Choose messages of light to fill you. Choose to focus on the good each journey. Choose to come closer to Christ. He invites each one of us to experience His love in the daily moments that He gives us on this earth. So, Enjoy them and allow your heart to be peaceful and able to TRANSFORM THE NEGATIVITY FOR GOOD! Letā€™s focus on the divine light and rejoice in the daily gifts of our loving Father in Heaven.

During this Christmas season I invite you to look for the light, for the gifts that God so abundantly gives each one of us daily. I invite you to also be a light to others and to consciously choose to be filled with Love, Light and Peace form one moment to the next. Having greater power to REJECT NEGATIVITY AND HAVING GREATER STRENGTH TO FOCUS ON THE LOVE, LIGHT AND PEACE THAT ONLY GOD CAN PROVIDE. šŸ’› Letā€™s recognize and thank God for all of the gifts He has blessed us with and continues to provide to us even for the opportunity to have this very moment.

Finally, I want to challenge you to make a promise to yourself to take your focus away from yourself this holiday season and instead think of a gift that you could give to God. Ask yourself ā€œWhat is one gift that I could offer to God this week?ā€ What would be a good gift to give Him for all He does for me?ā€ I pray that as you do this you will be blessed and inspired to offer Him your heart and what He inspires you to do. Doing this will fill your soul with an even greater amount of abundance and gratitude for Gods love and blessings.

Tonight in class I invite you to be in the moment. To enjoying the gift of being able to move your body and to strengthen yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. If youā€™re feeling stressed and overwhelmed I invite you to make time for class & think about the ways in which it will benefit you. Come ready to have a peaceful meditation that will re-center you and re-focus you on the truly important things of your life. This is the time of the year when we need this the most! Love you all and letā€™s do this together! šŸ’–

Love,

Recognize Your Divine Light šŸ’–

The world can often feel dark, filled with challenges, confusion, and uncertainty. Yet, as children of God, we carry within us a divine light, a spark of the infinite love and truth of our Heavenly Father. As we learn to recognize this light and invite Christ into our lives to magnify it, we will see that we will experience a profound and transformative journey that will fill us with peace and joy.

I believe that Jesus Christ is the Light of the World (John 8:12). His light enables us to see who we truly are: divine sons and daughters with infinite worth and eternal potential. But how do we recognize and nurture that light within us? How can we allow Christ to help us illuminate not only ourselves but also the world around us?

The first step would be to understand our divine identity. That we may recognize our light, starts by understanding our divine heritage. The scriptures teach, “The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God” (Romans 8:16). Knowing this truth brings clarity to our purpose and potential. Remind yourself that you are not an accident or an afterthoughtā€”you are a beloved child of God, endowed with divine attributes and destined for greatness. Your life testifies that there is a God. You just have to trust in Him and continue moving forward.

We can invite this light by allowing ourselves to spend time reflecting on what it means to be a child of God. We can pray to feel His love, compassion and grace and ask Him to help us understand our unique gifts. As we do this, weā€™ll begin to see ourselves through His eyes, and the light within us will become more apparent.

The next step we can take is to draw closer to the light. Christ is the source of all light. His Atonement not only redeems us but also empowers us to shine brighter in a world that often feels dim. In Doctrine and Covenants 88:11, we read, “The light which is in all things giveth life to all things.” Christā€™s light is in you, sustaining and guiding you.

To draw closer to Him, we need to make Him the center of our daily life. We need to learn of Him, study His life and teachings in the scriptures and in books that testify of Him such as the Bible and the Book of Mormon, which also testifies of His divinity. All that testifies of Christ will allow us to come closer to him. Listening to good music and messages that draw us closer to Christ. That we may learn to judge for ourselves and see the light of God in all that invited us to believe in Hima nd to follow Him. We can also pray with sincerity, asking for His help in recognizing and magnifying our light. We can make it a point to invite God to be in our daily activities and dedicate each hour to Him in all that we do and are.

As we come unto Christ, He will help us to see our divine worth and purpose more clearly. His light will refine and purify each one of us, allowing our natural goodness to shine through.

Another concious step we can take is to let our lights shine for others. Once we can recognize our divine light, the next step is to share it. The world needs us to share this light. Our friends and family need this light. You never know who needs your smile, your ability to listen in a Christlike way or the hug that you can give to someone so that they may feels God live at that precise moment. Christ Himself taught, “Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hid” (Matthew 5:14). Your light is not meant to be hidden but to illuminate the lives of those around you.

Sharing your light doesnā€™t require grand gestures. It begins with small acts of kindness and love. Serve others selflessly, listen with empathy, and testify of Christ through your actions and words. Be a source of hope and encouragement to those who may be struggling.

The Saviorā€™s example shows us how to light the way for others. He ministered one by one, meeting people where they were and lifting them with love and compassion. As you follow His example, youā€™ll find that your light grows even brighter.

Donā€™t forget that all of us will experience times of difficulties.There will be times when the adversary tries to dim your light through doubt, fear, or discouragement. Remember that light always overcomes darkness. When challenges arise, turn to the Savior for strength. His grace is sufficient to lift you, no matter how heavy your burdens may feel.

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf once said, ā€œDarkness will not gain victory over the light of Christ.ā€ Trust that through Him, you have the power to overcome any darkness in your life. Lean on His love, and let your faith guide you back to the light.

He has promised that He will always be there. So, look for the light, especially during the hardest times of your life. ā¤ļø

As we choose to embrace our divine light and share it with others, weā€™ll find that life becomes richer and more meaningful. Living in alignment with our divine purpose brings deep joy, a joy that radiates from within and touches everyone around you.

The Savior promised, ā€œI am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantlyā€ (John 10:10). Donā€™t forget to strengthen yourself by recognizing your light and allowing Christ to help you shine, you can experience this abundant life. You will be a beacon of hope, pointing others to Him and helping them discover their own divine light.

So, make it a point each day to come to Christ. To align yourself more fully to Him. To recognizing your divine light is not just about understanding who you areā€”itā€™s about embracing whose you are. As you turn to Christ and allow Him to magnify your light, you will not only illuminate your own path but also bring light to a world in need.

I pray that you may take a moment to stop, breathe and feel within yourself that Divine light flowing through you. Allow yourself to slow down and feel your connection as the child of God that you are. Your light is real! Your light matters. Through the Savior, you can shine brightly and make an eternal difference in your own life and in the lives of others. So, make it your goals to let your light shine, and let Christ help you light the world. ā¤ļø
