Because He Remembers Me

When I come to the temple, I feel a sense of family, of comfort, and of peace. I feel at home. #ldschurch #comeuntochrist #followhim

Are we as diligent in our pursuit of Jesus Christ as He is in His pursuit of us? Even when things are dark and scary? #churchofjesuschrist #comeuntochrist #comefollowme #hearhim #becauseheremembersmepodcast

With so much suffering and grief in the world, how can we possibly find meaning? By suffering together. It is through connection and compassion that we only comfort others, but also transform our discipleship. #churchofjesuschrist #comeuntochrist #becauseheremembersme #hearhim #comefollowme

Some days I feel just so sad. And some sad days stretch into sad weeks. This was one of those weeks, but I learned that I don't have to let the sadness linger in an unexpected way. https://youtu.be/rbpw9vdtDdM?si=HJLqBnQvR0Als3Xj Get the full story on Youtube, Spotify, YT Music or Apple Podcasts #churchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints #becauseheremembersme #comeuntochrist #hearhim #homeschoolmom #ch...

Anxiousness and anticipation are much the same feeling, only one is positive while the other is negative. Turning our thoughts to Christ can give us steady hope, trusting that he will provide and lead us to the best outcomes.

The word "sustain" means to uphold, to support, to strengthen. This is what God does for His children. Do we notice?

The more I wait, the more I learn. It's all part of the process - a beautiful, glorious, painful process. Welcome, episode 34!

I met angels this week, physical and spiritual. Sometimes Heavenly Father chooses to speak to us through the people he sends to bless us.

I came to know my Savior a little better this week and came to a surprising realization. It increased my hope for myself and for others. And it centered around His confidence in me and my trust in him.

In this entry, Jess considers the word "cumber" in a scriptural context and learned that being unencumbered doesn't always mean that there's less to do. Rather, sometimes being unencumbered means not being troubled by our to-do lists.

I'm learning that self care is not about never being tired. It's about being well enough to act well.

How could I possibly believe in a happy ending these days? Especially with the fear and disruption of the world? This is the story of how my boys renewed my faith in happy endings.

In order to find something, sometimes you just need a different vantage point. And what better view than the view from your knees?

In this episode, I discuss how I bit off more than I could chew, but it wasn't too tough to swallow. The Lord can make beauty from ashes and provide learning experiences from my mistakes. This week I learned that the Lord can make the most of my efforts - professionally and privately. If I follow the spirit, all things can work together for good.

"Distraction" is the word that sums up my week. When I finally reflected on my struggles, I realized that being too focused on the wrong things prevented me from feeling the spirit. I want to invite the Spirit back into my life. Maybe I can start now.

In this Episode, I tell the story of my son's surprising response to a stressful night. I want to be more like him.

Some of the scariest moments in my life are the moments I realized "what could have happened." I had several moments like that this week, but rather than feeling fear, I came out feeling so loved by a Heavenly Father who spoke to me and protected my child.

Repetition doesn't need to be boring. It can be invigorating. And it can bring us closer to Jesus Christ.

Maybe being still isn't about stopping. Maybe it's about starting to feel HIM.

I need to repent. But that doesn't mean I can't get it right. It means I'm still learning to do it right.

A pot of spilled dirt taught me something surprising - that there's still hope and mistakes can reveal growth.

I felt so overwhelmed today, but the Lord showed me a path through. Can I allow myself to be calmed by the spirit in moments of intense overwhelm?

I found out that white noise was literally preventing me from hearing Him. Then I considered - what else is keeping me from hearing Him?

What is a "tender mercy mindset?" I didn't think I fully know yet, but this is what I learned today.
