Sunday Inspiration

I testify that God’s grace is sufficient. Jesus’ grace is sufficient. It is enough. It is all we need. Don’t quit. Keep trying. Don’t look for escapes and excuses. Look for the Lord and His perfect strength. Don’t search for someone to blame. Search for someone to help you. Seek Christ, and, as you do, I promise you will feel the enabling power we call His amazing grace. It is wonderful. It is powerful, and it is constant.

I Am a Mormon Monday: Meet Kaycee

A little about me! I live in Scottsdale, AZ for half of the year, and Oakland, CA the other half. My husband plays baseball for the Oakland Athletics, and we are a busy, traveling baseball family. Our life is pretty crazy [understatement], but we have been immensely blessed [also an understatement]. 

I was raised Mormon, but spent the majority of my young adult life away from the church. After getting married, my husband and I decided to start going to church. We weren’t like many of the stories you hear, where things were going terribly wrong, we had hit rock bottom and we needed to find something more. In fact, it was pretty much the complete opposite. Our life together was amazing, we had all we needed, and were very blessed and happy. Needless to say, we began going to church anyways and found exactly what we didn’t know we were looking for.

Being Mormon has brought nothing but happiness to my life. Following the teachings of Jesus Christ fills my life with joy, and helps me to have a long-term outlook on the day-to-day aspects of my life. I have never been happier than when I am living my life in a Christ-like way, and am so grateful for this church and it’s teachings in my life.

What is hope and what do you hope for?

For me, hope is the desire for something to happen. What do I hope for? Oh goodness. I might need the next 2,375 blog posts to answer that question! I think what I hope for most is complete happiness in my life. For a happy marriage, happy children, and to bring happiness to everyone that crosses my path. 

How do you live your faith?

I am not the type of person to hand a Book of Mormon out, or talk a lot specifically about my faith (unless of course someone asks!). I would like to think that I live my faith my living a good, Christ-like life and by being an example to those around me. Whether it’s helping someone in need, or simply being a good friend. I have been SO blessed by this church and am so grateful for it in my life.

I AM A MORMON MONDAY: MEET VALERIE

About me:

My name is Valerie and I blog at A Little Life Journal 

http://valeriebt.blogspot.co.uk/

My blog is really just a family blog although it has taken some unexpected twists and turns since it began. We live in a small cottage by the sea on the East Coast of Scotland, and despite the weather, we love it here.

What is hope and what do you hope for?

Hope is the surety that everything is working out exactly the way it is meant to. Feeling hopeless is feeling cast adrift with no course and no purpose. I hope for peace and happiness, which sounds like a cliche, but in the end its what my heart desires for myself and for everyone I care about.

How I live my faith:

I live my faith with love. Loving everyone does not come naturally to me (most of us?),  but its how our Savior lived His life and He is my Teacher. Love can be divided endlessly, love can build bridges, and move mountains and change lives forever. I try to live my life full of love. “Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.” 

Thank You for including me in Mormon Monday Kimberly!

I Am A Mormon Monday: Meet Brooklyn

  I am a 20-something living in Utah, I spend my evenings watching Disney movies, and my days as a full-time cosmetology student. My blog is a blog about marriage, faith, and an encouraging place for positive self-change. You'll find a recipe every once in awhile, you can read my love story series, or find blogging tips from yours truly!     What is hope and what do you hope for?
Hope to me is believing that tomorrow will be better than today. It's expecting the best in myself and in others. It's seeing the good in a bad day, and always striving to find the silver lining. I hope to be a good wife, and to prove to the world that happy marriages exist. I hope to live a life that teaches other women of their personal beauty, and how they can let confidence shine in everything they do.       How do you live your faith? I live my faith by sharing it with those around me. I live it through temple date nights, and prayer with my husband. I live the Gospel by recognizing that being a good Christian woman takes effort, and turning to Christ in the good and the bad. I live the Gospel with a positive attitude, and by being cheerful and prayerful in all circumstances that come my way.    Thank you so much for having me Kimberly! It was fun!    ..............................................................................................................................................................   Want to participate in the I Am a Mormon Monday series? Just shoot me an email and I will fill you in on all the details! Right now I am booked through February 2014, but would  still love to add you to the list for March 2014 and on.   Email: bostonksox@gmail.com
