The Living Christ Value Project Accomplished. Yay!

I'm so very happy. : ) My testimony has been strengthened so much by the Young Women's Personal Progress Program that belongs to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I just finished my faith value project the other day. : ) What I did for my project was memorize the testimony of the Apotles of the church about Jesus Christ and how he's the Savior of the world and the Living Christ. : ) I'm very thankful that I have those words in my head now. It definately helped me learn more about Jesus's life and what he did and what his life means to the world. How important he is to me personally and to all the people around me. And it makes me so happy to know that because of this document my faith and belief not only in Christ but in his church has grown so much. I really do love Jesus Christ. ANd my Heavenly Father too. I'm thankful that the Holy is able to preside in me if I keep the covenant I made with God during baptism. : ) I love my church, myself, and the people around me more fully because my faith has grown through the things I've done with my personal progress. : ) Life is good.
The document I was reffering to that I had to memorize is the one below. Read it. : ) It will give you an internal peace and fuzzy feeling when you read it. :D


"The Living Christ: The Testimony of the Apostles, (2000)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


As we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ two millennia ago, we offer our testimony of the reality of His matchless life and the infinite virtue of His great atoning sacrifice. None other has had so profound an influence upon all who have lived and will yet live upon the earth.

He was the Great Jehovah of the Old Testament, the Messiah of the New. Under the direction of His Father, He was the creator of the earth. “All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made” (John 1:3). Though sinless, He was baptized to fulfill all righteousness. He “went about doing good” (Acts 10:38), yet was despised for it. His gospel was a message of peace and goodwill. He entreated all to follow His example. He walked the roads of Palestine, healing the sick, causing the blind to see, and raising the dead. He taught the truths of eternity, the reality of our premortal existence, the purpose of our life on earth, and the potential for the sons and daughters of God in the life to come.

He instituted the sacrament as a reminder of His great atoning sacrifice. He was arrested and condemned on spurious charges, convicted to satisfy a mob, and sentenced to die on Calvary’s cross. He gave His life to atone for the sins of all mankind. His was a great vicarious gift in behalf of all who would ever live upon the earth.

We solemnly testify that His life, which is central to all human history, neither began in Bethlehem nor concluded on Calvary. He was the Firstborn of the Father, the Only Begotten Son in the flesh, the Redeemer of the world.

He rose from the grave to “become the firstfruits of them that slept” (1 Corinthians 15:20). As Risen Lord, He visited among those He had loved in life. He also ministered among His “other sheep” (John 10:16) in ancient America. In the modern world, He and His Father appeared to the boy Joseph Smith, ushering in the long-promised “dispensation of the fulness of times” (Ephesians 1:10).

Of the Living Christ, the Prophet Joseph wrote: “His eyes were as a flame of fire; the hair of his head was white like the pure snow; his countenance shone above the brightness of the sun; and his voice was as the sound of the rushing of great waters, even the voice of Jehovah, saying:

“I am the first and the last; I am he who liveth, I am he who was slain; I am your advocate with the Father” (D&C 110:3–4).

Of Him the Prophet also declared: “And now, after the many testimonies which have been given of him, this is the testimony, last of all, which we give of him: That he lives!

“For we saw him, even on the right hand of God; and we heard the voice bearing record that he is the Only Begotten of the Father—

“That by him, and through him, and of him, the worlds are and were created, and the inhabitants thereof are begotten sons and daughters unto God” (D&C 76:22–24).

We declare in words of solemnity that His priesthood and His Church have been restored upon the earth—“built upon the foundation of … apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone” (Ephesians 2:20).

We testify that He will someday return to earth. “And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together” (Isaiah 40:5). He will rule as King of Kings and reign as Lord of Lords, and every knee shall bend and every tongue shall speak in worship before Him. Each of us will stand to be judged of Him according to our works and the desires of our hearts.

We bear testimony, as His duly ordained Apostles—that Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. He is the great King Immanuel, who stands today on the right hand of His Father. He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son.

FairyTales

Lately I've been having trouble with fairytales. What makes a classic fairytale? Well according to a creative writing teacher deep in the midst of the tetons it's this: 1) Protaganist/Antaganist 2)All Love= True Love 3) Reoccuring Numbers (mostly 3 and 7 XD) 4)Once Upon A Time/ Happily Ever After 5)Talking objects/animals/plants 6) Enchantments or Magic 7) Femanist Views(damsels in distress type thing).
And I have to say, making up a fairytale that is completely origianal with that outline is the most challenging thing I've ever encountered. And I only have about 5 days left to do it.
That sounds like a lot, but I'm a terrible procrastinator. And not to mention I have to babysit 3 kids under the age of ten for the next three days. I really shouldn't complain, but I've just been left thinking lately.
What's the point of fairytales? Why are we told them as children only to find out life isn't like that at all? We find out that there's no Prince Charming, Fairy Godmother, or "Happily Ever After"'s in life at all. Instead it's just a whole bunch of rubish and baulder-dash. We find out the hard way that no one really thinks magic exists. That things never end smoothly or so abruptly as a "Happily Ever After". There's always more to the tale. Something always comes next.
I just wonder why the world is like that? Why are we so shelter in the start of life? Maybe to ease the burden of reality, to keep the generations living.
Or maybe is it because Fairytales do exist? Maybe in some hidden part of the world, there are girls with their very own valient knight in shining armor. I wonder if it's possible to have some wonderful "guardian angel" as you might say watching over you and helping you out unknowingly. And possibly, just maybe, people really can obtain a "Happily Ever After". : )

I think That's what I choose to Believe. That somewhere out there, life really is good. And that things can work out as if by magic. : )

St.Patrick's Day

You know, St. Patrick's day was just a couple days ago. : ) I love that holiday. It's pretty fun seeing all that green. It reminds me of spring. Which still hasn't come yet. : P I'm waiting for all the snow to disappear still. But There's dirt in my drive way. : ) So I can actually see some of the ground and that makes me happy. : ) But yeah. : ) Life is great.
Today I think I'm just going to post some awesome pictues and a picture of me. : ) hehe Because I don't think I've ever done that on here. : ) So here It goes:




This is me : P









This is a pic I took last fall. : ) I thought it was pretty.











This pic was taken on Feb 13, 2011. : P All that snow is still here. : /

March Madness!

It's now march! The seminary class that I attend at my high school has declared a competition this month against some othere seminary institutions in my area that challenged us. The challenge is to read the whole Book Of Mormon in the month of March. I think it's one of the coolest competition I've ever agreed to take part in. You see, even though I've been a memeber of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints my whole life, I have never read the whole book before. And I think this will be a wonderful oppurtunity for me.
Not to mention it will help me spiritually prepare for this trek I'm going on this summer in memory of the LDS pioneers who crossed the counrty because of persecution. I think It's great and I challenge anyone reading this, even If you aren't a member of THe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saitnts (also known as Mormons), to read the Book of Mormon one day. Or today. : ) Any time would be fantastic!!

Happy New YEar!!!

I know it's sorta late for this. But hey, a girl can get busy. : P But yeah. Life is great. : ) I just can't wait to laugh in peoples faces when we're still alive in 2012. I mean, that's a totally ridiculous notion. Really.
But anyway. Life is good. I hope eveyone agrees. All the resolutions in the air. All the ditermination. All that jazz. : ) YEah!
IT'S 2011! That's so crazy man. It's weird to think I was born in the last millenia. ;P
Have a GREAT New YEar!

My Testimony : )

No one will convince me otherwise. i know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is the true church of Christ restored on the earth. I don't care if you pity me, I don't care if you love me, I don't care if you pray for me. I already know the truth. And that is that the Bible, Book of Mormon, Doctrine of Covenants, and Pearl of Great Price are THEE words of God. I know that God loves me and Jesus paid the price of the atonement so that I could live my life and live in both of their Glorious presences for the rest of eternity if I but repent of my sins and live the best life I can. God loves me. He has a purpose for me and he knows me in depth. Christ is my saivior and redeemer and I love him with a greater love than anyone can conceive. I KNOW that Joseph Smith was the prophet that brought the true church back to the earth. I Am more sure thanI've ever been in my life that Thomas Spencer Monson is the living prophet of the World. I am a daughter of God and have the potential to become so much like God and Christ that I myself can become a goddess. Though I know I'm imperfect and I have a lot to work on, I KNOW I'm Christian to the very essence of the word in the fact that I'm trying to become like Christ and come back and live with Both Christ and my Heavenly Father once again in heaven. I understand that families are forever and I love mine with all my heart even if i don't aknowledge that sometimes. My church is true and my love for the world is strong. Only Christ knows the pain I suffer because of my compassion for others and I've felt the comforting whisper of the Holy Ghost. God Is alive! So is Jesus! And the spirit of the Holy Ghost dwells in all the righteous and deserving children of the earth. God is our creator and Jesus is his son. We are created in the image of God. Both physically and spiritually. I know that God loves everyone on a very personal level. And that he has all the power beyond this universe. And I know that God hears our prayers. I know that man can recieve personal revelation for themselves and that The Prophet of the church (Thomas S. Monson) recieves revelation for all man kind.
The Presidency speaks of God. Of Jesus. And of every other topic nessacary to address. Mormons are Christians, and I KNOW it.
Everything I have said is true. And will remain true for the rest of eternity. This is the truth and I know it. This is my great testimony and knowledge of great divine truths and I will never deny them!

Christmas Time**

Christmas time is amazing. : ) I love this time of year. It's really awesome. The whole christmas spirit shin-dig. haha
But this time of year really is special to me. It just fills my heart with love and affection towards everyone. And it reminds me wholly of the Christ in which this holiday celebrates. : )
Even if you don't believe this man is the son of God, it's been pretty much proven he existed and this man has had the biggest influence on man than all of the others combined. With all of his revolutionary ideas and high moral standards. Not to mention the miricales he preformed whether they be witchcraft or works of GOd. I believe they happened for a good purpose. : )
I love life at Christmas time and I think others should try to obtain the same mind set. : )
