Lookie, I'm startin a blog! "O Remember, Remember"



     Elder Eyring's talk "O Remember, Remember" has had a major impact on my life. During the summer of 2013, I taught a Relief Society lesson based on this talk. It's true. The teacher always learns so much more than the audience...at least I do! This talk is definitely a Divine Signature, showing me how I can improve.

     I learned so much from preparing for this lesson, and I've been trying to apply it to my life- one way is through starting this blog. Go read this talk! https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2007/10/o-remember-remember

     I've always been interested in trying to see the Lord's hand in my life. I remember as a young girl, my grandmother came over to my house and was visiting with my mom about a wonderful book she was reading titled Divine Signatures: The Confirming Hand of God by Gerald N. Lund. I can't even say I've read this book, but I heard the description of the hand of God being called a "Divine Signature" and I've loved it ever since. Little did they know they had such an impact from a small conversation. :) Looking for God's hand in my life has greatly strengthened my testimony concerning the love of God and His influence in my daily life. I have been able to come to know and understand more fully my Father in Heaven and my Savior, Jesus Christ.

     This is why I've started blogging! I'm not expecting to be great at it. I'm only hoping to somehow lift someone through my testimony and be an instrument in His hands.

Alma 17:11

"...Go forth...and establish my word; yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls." 

So! My goal is to dedicate my blog to sharing the experiences I have where I notice God's hand in my life- whether that be through sharing some instances where I've noticed Him, a happy thought, a fun experience I'm thankful for, something new I've learned, or my testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
