In the blogs that I have read I have run across many women who are evangelical Christians. They are so very open about their search for meaning in life and they are very vocal about their prayers and their reliance on Christ. This started me thinking, what makes it so easy for them to be so vocal about these things? Or let me rephrase that, why am I not as vocal about those things?
Well, this blog is my response. This is where I will outline what I believe. I don't know who (if anyone besides my family) will be reading this, but I want people to be able to see what I stand for.
I have a testimony of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ on the earth today. I believe that I have found the truest church there is in existence. I think many other churches hold some truths and bring many good things to the table, but I believe the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints has the fullness of the Gospel.
I love the scriptures. How wonderful it is to have such a wealth of spiritual knowledge held in your hands. How much more important is it to hold that knowledge in your mind.
Prayer is a mighty thing. I have felt real comfort and have received true guidance in my life. What a blessing.
I believe in a just and loving Father in heaven.
I am loved, I am never completely alone, He wants me to continually progress and be a better person.
He has provided living prophets to guide us in these latter days. I believe that our prophets have been and continue to be the best people that God can find on the earth today. They have been raised up for this purpose. They are kind, they are wise, they sorrow when they see us do wrong, they rejoice and are very adept at seeing the best in us all. I believe that President Thomas S. Monson is God's prophet on the earth today.
And lastly, but most importantly, I believe in Jesus Christ, His teachings, and His supreme sacrifice known as the Atonement. I believe Him when He says if we are to be saved we must keep His commandments, but I also know we cannot get anywhere on our own. His grace is what saves us, after all we can do.
I will probably eventually address all of these topics in more detail here. I have lots of thoughts and opinions and how nice it is that technology has created for me the best outlet I could ask for.
