In 2016 I was gifted with several personal revelations. I was told I would have clarity about romance in 2020. I was also told that I would meet "him."
Opening My Heart- UPDATED

Sometimes, there was even breakfast. When my new friends in my new church explained that the only reason for breaking Sabbath was if the “oxen were in... Continue Reading →

I Was Thirsty…
Today's scripture for the #LightTheWorld effort is from Matthew. You can find suggestions for service projects for today at Mormon.org. Who do you know that could use a drink of clean water? How can you help make that happen?

A Temple Testimony of His Holy Spirit

My Best Friend’s Role and Absence in My Conversion
It began sooner than I anticipated: Last week, I invited my best friend to join a new church friend and myself to a mid-older singles event. It was just a little bbq behind a local meetinghouse, but it was where people first assumed I had been baptized by my best friend. They didn't know just... Continue Reading →
