God has such a generous, giving, parent-heart—and He loves to shower us with His light and love. 💛 Today I got to sit down with my Boston friend Portia Thompson and talk about these incredible gifts—and how we can prepare our hearts to receive them. 🎁 So much of this journey is simply letting God: be more, do more & love more than we ever imagined He would…or thought we deserved.

The gifts don’t always have to look like what we planned. But we trust the Master Planner. He knows exactly what we need—how, when, and why. The more we: spend time with Him, learn of Him, see His light & come to know His love …the more we realize just how HAPPY He is to give us what He has— and how ready He is to help us grow, draw closer, and help others do the same

What a remarkable reunion & discussion with one of my former missionaries in Bulgaria, Elder Travis Wolsey, as we talked about making Jesus and His eternal light the center of our lives . How amazing that as God prepares the world for Jesus to return He begins by preparing us in our hearts and souls to know and feel Him . So that even as things get chaotic around us He who set the stars in the sky can bring order, light and His perfect peace to our souls

What a fun-filled hour we had today with Barbara Morgan Gardner talking about the Savior's and stories in  preparation for the His Second coming.

It turns out that Sharing is Preparing and in these Last Days God is most interested in how we connect with Him

Our gifts of kindness, hospitality, listening,  and Sharing His Love and His Light not only brighten the world

Wow...just feeling so much like going out to share the Savior by serving His children following this inspiring discussion today with Shannon Rasband Norton. Putting our lives in God's hands and then using what He's given us to do His work to trust His plan& bless His children is where TRUE JOY comes from. Because this is where we begin to see a little better and feel what Jesus Himself sees in and feels about each of us. And what better way to prepare our souls and the whole earth to Joyfully receive her King!

What a beautiful heartfelt discussion today with my dear friend Crystal Nelson as we talked about the power that comes of trusting Christ to make us whole. Sometimes this kind of faith and trust comes when life feels really dark and it doesn't feel like we have a lot to offer. The wonder of His love though is that the moment we allow Him we choose Him we offer Him what little we can muster He fills it with all that He is. The emptiness He makes whole. His light illuminates the darkness like a firework filling the night sky. And we learn that our hope isn't based on everything being perfect like we might have planned. It's about our trust in His beautiful powerful perfecting plan for our Everlasting Happiness

What an inspiring hour today with fellow patriot Chaunntel Pettit on enLIGHTen as we rememebered a number of the women patriots whose lives of virtue and courage inspire us to live more fully for our freedoms. We discussed the link between virtue, freedom and divine power. And how it is our thoughts where we might most effectively grow in capacity for virtue and Confidence to walk with God

Waiting on a miracle?

Those are often some of the most powerful periods for learning to trust God.

We know we need God's help.

He sees and knows our situation.

And in this waiting place we discover our relationship & our faith with Him growing stronger.

Join us for a beautiful enLIGHTen discussion with my wonderful guest Morgan Jones Pearson as we relive the miracle of raising Jairus' daughter and the tender power we trust so well in Jesus

What exactly is living water? Perhaps something like liquid light. And how is it when we drink we are filled beyond anything we could have imagined? And yet we desire to feel and receive more from that source of every good thing  We know where the well is and the invitation is to everyone. May we come and drink freely until the water springs from within us!

What does it feel like to Receive Christ's Light with open arms?

What an Illuminated morning with Brenda Smart as we discussed:

Can Christ make us whole, even as we wait for ultimate healing?

Can His grace apply deliver us IN our afflictions even if He hasn't yet delivered us FROM them?

How can faith and focus change even the most trying circumstances?

Join us on enLIGHTen this week as we discuss these questions and the power available to all of us through our faith in Christ.
