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)

Coming full circle.

McCall, Idaho is more than just a beautiful mountain town to me — it’s holy ground.
It’s where I first got sober.
Where the McCall 2nd Ward embraced me with open arms.
Where I walked into my very first ARP meeting, scared and searching — and found the beginning of a brand new life.

Now, years later, Weston and I have the incredible opportunity to return to McCall as witnesses of Christ’s healing power.

We’ll be speaking at a fireside this next Sunday evening, June 8th at 6:00 PM at the chapel in McCall, Idaho.
If you’re nearby, we would love to see you there.
All are welcome.

Come feel the Spirit, hear our story, and be reminded that no life is too far gone for Jesus to restore.

04/29/2025

In the very first days of my sobriety, I something life-changing:
real faith takes real grit.
Spiritual grit.
Five weeks sober, I was living in downtown Denver — sleeping on the hardwood floor of my niece’s walk-in closet.
There were drug addicts on every corner. Homelessness surrounded me. Trauma and PTSD still clung to my mind like shadows.
I had no car. No money. No real direction.
But what I did have — what God was giving me — was a flicker of radical belief.
I sat in that little closet one night, back against the wall, and made a list of what I wanted for my future.
At the very top of that list?
➔ Go to the temple.
After 27 years lost in addiction and destruction, it felt almost laughable.
A dumpster fire life, broken past, shattered promises —
Who was I to even think I could make it back?
But in that moment, I chose to radically believe anyway.
I decided to believe who God said I could become — not who my past said I was.
I started walking the mile and a half to church, one trembling step at a time.
Some days I was barely upright.
And through it all, Satan whispered in my ear:
“You’ll never make it. You’re just a drug addict. You’re too far gone, Kelly. The temple isn’t for you.”
But every time he whispered, I whispered back:
I know who I am. I am His.
One step at a time, one gritty, imperfect prayer at a time —
I fought forward.
Until finally — on my birthday in April of 2018 — I found myself standing at the doors of the Meridian Temple, surrounded by my sisters.
A living, breathing miracle.
I learned something that day:
➔ God will always make a way.
➔ He will send angels. He will open doors we thought were sealed shut forever.
But what He asks from us...
is to dig our heels in and believe.
Radically. Fiercely. Even when it feels impossible.
If we do,
He will meet us with miracles.
Absolute miracles.

This story comes from the very first inspirational email I sent out, and if you’d like a little weekly encouragement and gospel-centered inspiration, just reply with your email address — it’s one of my greatest joys to share these pieces of my heart and His miracles with you.💥

🌟 Special Request 🌟

I’m reaching out to my wonderful circle of family and friends with a special request. I’m hoping to connect with someone who has personally detoxed from and recovered after a significant Ambien addiction. (larger quantities/daily use) I have a few questions I would love to ask and would be so grateful for the opportunity to speak privately with someone who has walked that path.

The conversation will be completely confidential. No pressure at all — just kindness, curiosity, and respect.

If you (or someone you know) would feel comfortable talking with me, please feel free to message me directly.

Thank you so much for considering it! 💛
