Elder Pearson’s talk in General Conference was one of my favorites, and his recent BYU Devotional was amazing!

Which of these quotes is your favorite?

Instead of cuddling my new grand baby and eating delicious food with my family as planned, I will be hanging out in bed today, thanks to an unwelcome cold.

The unplanned and unexpected detours of life are not always inviting.

And, man alive, this is poor timing!

But there is still so much to be thankful for!

I will be looking for the hidden gems of gratitude today, like this one:

I’m grateful I can see the sun shining through my basement window

The sun makes everything happier!

What are you grateful for?

Why did I abruptly switch gears a few months ago f

“Come out from among them”

That phrase popped into my mind while in the temple one day this spring.

At that time, I was getting ready to launch my podcast and felt a pull to understand current obstacles to faith.

If i was going to help people strengthen their faith, I felt I needed to know what we were up against.

I had, therefore, been immersing myself in social media accounts of church members who were teaching things that were not in line with the doctrine of Christ

And, with that immersion, I felt a growing tide of darkness in my heart.

So, I attended the temple in search of direction

After I heard “Come out from among them,” I looked up that phrase in the scriptures

I found it in 2 Cor. 6:17 “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.”

It is preceded by this instruction in verse 14: “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?”

I knew that was the answer to my prayers, which also sounded like “Stay in the light.”

The light - the doctrine of Christ - held the answers I sought, not the murky waters of messages from those with one foot out of the Church.

So, I unfollowed a bunch of people and started immersing myself in the light.

The result has been a greater measure of the Spirit, less confusion, and more peace.

In my stories, you will find an enlightening discussion about whether unfollowing certain social media accounts is “close minded,” as well as the boundaries people find necessary to safeguard their faith.

Join the conversation there (or check out the “influencer” highlight, where it will have a permanent home)

A simple answer to prayer has helped me to hold on

A simple answer to prayer has helped me to hold onto my faith through questions, doubts, and lots of things that don’t make sense.

But that answer did not come without a struggle

This is #howiknow

How do you know?

P.S. I tell the whole story in Episode 3 of my podcast. If you struggle with doubts or know someone who does (and you WANT to keep your faith), I think you will find it helpful.

I posted this in my stories yesterday and some people are asking for a version they can save + share.

Wallah!! Here it is.

For all the controversy about following the prophet (even from within the Church), this is what I have learned from diving deep into the Old Testament this year.

Are you with me?
