Sundays Post!

I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I know who I am. I know God's Plan. I'll follow him in Faith.

I believe in the Savior, Jesus Christ. I'll honor his name.

I'll do what is right. I'll follow his light. His truth I will proclaim.


I am going to try something new on my blog. Above are the words to a children's primary song titled I belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. That is a mouthful right? After listening to Women's Conference I decided I need to make more time to increase my spirituality. Sure we read scriptures most nights as a family and say a family prayer but I don't make the time to think about my Savior on my own. Here is a little background on how I became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

My grandmother was living in Port Hope Ontario, Canada when two young men came knocking on her door. They were missionaries. My Grandma invited them in and loved the message that they had to share. She decided to get baptized into the church and was one of the first members in her area. My grandpa Gordon was a business man in town and did not think it was a good idea for him to be baptized but he supported my grandma and his kids. My grandpa passed away shortly after that from a heart attack and my grandma moved my mom and her brother to California to be around more members of the church. My mom grew up, met my dad - dated him a while and they got married. My dad is not a member of the church and my mom was not the type to go to church every Sunday but as a kid I went to church and learned a lot about the Gospel through the children's program. As I got older it seemed more like a chore to go to church. Then when I was in high school I met the cutest boy who was LDS (latter day saint or Mormon). I was not in love but maybe wanting to marry him when I got older... That was a turning point for me for some reason. I saw this great guy and thought to myself, I want to be a great girl so one day I can snag a great guy like him. That for me is where my testimony began to grow. I was a junior in high school and stopped some of the bad habits I had begun and started going to church activities, reading my scriptures and making new friends that shared the same standards as the gospel. I went to Rick's College in Rexburg, Idaho which was a church school and my testimony grew exponentially there. Skipping ahead in life... I now am married to Jeff and have 3 amazing kids and love my membership in the church. My testimony is so much of who I am. I don't know what I would do without it in my life. I know my Savior Jesus Christ! I have felt his arms around me in my life. I have felt him cry with me, laugh at me and smile with me. I want to make him proud of me. So, there it is, I have started a new tradition for myself. Maybe every week or two I am going to try and share a portion of my testimony with my family and friends through my blog called Sundays posts!
