Like a certain Prime Minister, there was a time when I too dismissed the power of Jesus Christ. My life was in shambles and I needed saving. I just wasn’t interested in the kind of saving that came from Jesus. How eternally grateful I am that even though I spent my life rejecting the Savior of the world, when I finally turned to Him, He accepted and forgave me with open arms.
Mr. Netanyahu,
There will come a day when you too will see Him for who He is.
You will come to understand that all the armies and navies in the world
could never command what He commands with a word,
nor conquer what He conquered with a cross.
And when you behold the wounds in His hands,
you will know that they were not signs of weakness,
but the victory of a love that no power on earth could overcome. (not even genghis khan)
Zechariah 13:6
“And one shall say unto him, What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.”

What Easter means to me.

For decades I ripped through the lives of those around me like an F5 tornado.
Leaving pain.
Toxicity.
Destruction.

The truth is that I was addicted to being a victim as much as anything else.
Stuck swirling around in dark horrific circles screaming, “Look at my pain!”
Maybe it was all the shame that kept me dug in for so long.
Regardless, I just didn’t know how to stop spinning.

And then one day I looked up from inside the vortex and I saw a light.
It was the Light of Jesus Christ.
It beckoned and called to me.
With mercy and love,
A voice calming my soul and calling me home.
Quieting my cries,
Parting the clouds.
Until, miraculously, the spinning finally stopped.

And then I finally understood.
Jesus Christ conquered death and sin for me.
Not because He had to.
But because He wanted to.
Because He loves me.
He’s loyal to the Father,
and He’s loyal to me.

Nine years later and were still picking up the pieces of that terrible storm together.
And each day we work on putting everything in it’s new place.
But today I am walking through my life in joy.
In the warm glow of sunshine.
And I’m not afraid when the sky gets dark anymore.
Because of Him, I’m no longer the storm.

At Walmart in Spanish Fork, I came across these two Elders who were speaking with a woman in her car. I couldn’t help but snap a photo. As I pulled away, they were praying with her. 🥹

It reminded of when I desperately needed to feel the Spirit that was with them. It made me remember the time I felt like a nobody and needed to know that I was a daughter of God. If I was going to live, I needed miracles- REAL MIRACLES- and the Lord sent me missionaries.

Thank you for serving. I know importance of what you are doing. You helped to save my life and more importantly, my soul. 💗💪🏻

By God’s grace, I have been sober for nine years today 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Those who knew me before I was sober have witnessed a true miracle of God. 😇 By my strength alone I could NOT stop using drugs and alcohol. I certainly couldn’t heal the bruised and broken woman that I was. But with Him, the blessings of strength, peace and hope have continued to pour in. My life and my soul has been transformed by this merciful and loving God who I found out adores me. I love Him too!

I have been surrounded by angels on both sides of the veil through this journey. Thank you to all my family and friends. Thank you Weston for being a bright light always!

In the Book of Mormon, Alma and the sons of Mosiah venture deep into Lamanite lands, risking their lives to share the light of the gospel. After years of hardship, rejection, and miraculous deliverance, their faith is rewarded. Entire kingdoms of Lamanites are converted, and seven sacred lands are transformed by the Spirit of God. These are they who become the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi. They are transformed into the people of peace who bury their weapons of war forever.

Their lands are named

Ishmael
Middoni
Nephi
Shilom
Shemlon
Lemuel
Shimnilom

When I looked up the meanings of these names, I discovered that together they form a sermon of sorts and a map of the soul’s journey back to God.

God hears (Ishmael) those in bo***ge (Middoni), restores them to goodness (Nephi), brings them peace (Shilom), makes them whole (Shemlon), claims them as His own (Lemuel), and welcomes them into His sanctuary (Shimnilom).

The entire path of redemption is written right into the geography. It is the temple pattern and the sacred ascent from darkness into divine light. It is the way home. The design of returning to God’s presence is woven through every page of holy scripture, whispering to all who seek: Feast, and you will find.

✨📖 Look how beautiful these painted copies of the Book of Mormon turned out! My sweet niece poured her creativity into every brushstroke, and I can’t help but feel grateful seeing the scriptures made even more personal and meaningful.
But more than the paint, what truly makes this book precious is the power inside of it. The Book of Mormon testifies of Jesus Christ—His mercy, His miracles, and His mission to bring us back to Him. Every time I open its pages, I feel His presence, His love, and His call to trust Him more fully.
I want to bear my testimony: I know the Book of Mormon is the word of God. It goes hand in hand with the Bible to draw us closer to Christ. I love my Savior with all my heart, and I am so grateful for the ways He has rescued and redeemed me. He is my strength, my healer, and my constant friend. 💛
🎨📖 So yes—paint can make the outside beautiful, but Christ makes the inside of us beautiful. And this book points us straight to Him.

Look around you.🤓
The sun rises each morning without fail.
The stars are in patterns we can chart.
Waves crash on shorelines in rhythm,
and seasons turn with precision.
All creation continually shows a God of order, not confusion.
So why would His covenants which are the most sacred acts of our spiritual lives be any different?
Baptism, priesthood, covenants, and ordinances are not just symbolic gestures.🕊️
They are divine appointments.
They must be done in His way, by those given His authority.
Just as gravity governs planets and tides, the Lord governs His kingdom through PRIESTHOOD ORDER.
It is not about exclusion, it is about exactness.
Because exactness is how blessings are unlocked.
Not through chaos.
Not through opinion.
But through heaven-sanctioned power.
God is not messy.
He is meticulous in how He calls, organizes, and blesses His children.
If you’ve ever wondered why baptism needs to be performed by one holding priesthood authority just look at the universe and remember that NOTHING God does is random.
The restored Church of Jesus Christ is built upon this divine pattern. And in that order, we find safety. We find clarity.
We find Him. 🙏
I love Jesus Christ and His restored church with my whole heart!!!

This week in Come Follow Me, we are studying about the men and women of Zion’s Camp who marched 900 miles to redeem their brothers and sisters in Missouri, only to be turned back at the last day by the Lord.
Can you imagine what that must have felt like? Knowing what was happening to your innocent brothers and sisters and then you march all those miles to help fight for them and the Lord tells you no at the last minute? Why would God do that?
Maybe one of the Lord’s greatest purposes was preparation of His people.
The Saints of Zion’s camp didn’t reclaim the land for their people that day, but they did reclaim something even greater. Humility, faith and an even deeper commitment to the Lord.
Many of those who marched in Zion’s Camp became future leaders in the church.
Brothers and sisters, we are being prepared by the Lord to become greater disciples. He is using the tragedies of this current world to refine His Zion people - make no mistake. He is preparing us.
We are not meant to be the kind of disciples who ONLY fight for causes, because being a disciple of Jesus Christ isn’t about chasing outcomes. It’s about trusting the One who sees the beginning from the end. True success is about the condition of our hearts, not the outcome of events.
I pray the Lord will refine my heart and make me worthy to be called one of His Zion people. I pray that He will prepare me to endure with joy and faith until the very end.
“After much tribulation cometh the blessing.” (D&C 103:12)
