How have I felt the Lord’s love for me? How do I show the Lord that I love Him? How do I prove to myself that I love the Lord? These are all questions raised in this week’s Come, Follow Me, and they’re the questions on Anabelle’s mind today. From going for a walk to thinking of others and paying tithing, she examines love and what it means for us.

At times, the gospel of Jesus Christ takes a backseat in our lives when it really should be behind the wheel. Anabelle analyzes a few important questions in today’s episode; why should we prioritize the gospel in our lives, how we can do that, and what Shia LaBeouf has to do with it all.

“Are you willing to let God prevail in your life? Are you willing to let God be the most important influence in your life? Will you allow His words, His commandments, and His covenants to influence what you do each day? Will you allow His voice to take priority over any other? Are you willing to let whatever He needs you to do take precedence over every other ambition? Are you willing to have your will swallowed up in His?”

- President Russell M. Nelson, Let God Prevail

What do you do when you don’t know what to do? Sometimes, praying can feel like talking to a brick wall — that’s just how it is. Waiting for a challenge to run its course or an answer to come can be excruciating, and that’s what Anabelle is thinking about today; in times like these, sometimes the best thing to do is to focus on the simple things and work on shifting your perspective.

Holiday shopping is upon us and for some (*cough* Anabelle), knowing what to give and what to get is confusing and scary. That’s why she starts this episode with some gift suggestions — ranging from electric kettles to concert tickets — before discussing how social media influences her ability to look up to God instead of around at the world. After that, Anabelle questions what it means to “do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God,” quickly realizing that it’s a lot simpler than it seems.

It’s a busy time of year and Anabelle has been stretched thin. Today, she chats about how her packed schedule has helped her seek the Lord and how she uses the Google Suite to organize her life. She analyzes what the prophet has told us recently and how we can act on it, suggests a variety of ways to hear the word of the Lord, and realizes that sometimes the best form of self care is canceling plans.

Love is in the air because God loves us unconditionally. How can we show God that we love Him, too? After brain dumping her thoughts on disappointment, self-improvement, and the NBA, Anabelle analyzes the difference between being and doing — and which comes first. Lastly, she addresses two vital questions: why we need revelation and how we can receive it on a regular basis.

Life is hard sometimes. How do we deal with it? Anabelle doesn’t have all the answers, but she does have some thoughts. Today, she walks us through her recently life-changing morning routine, talks about what she’s learned from hard times, and questions whether she even has a testimony (spoiler alert: she does).

On the pilot episode of Green Bananas, Anabelle delves into her favorite parts of fall before suggesting some ways to have not-weird gospel conversations with friends. She contemplates forgiveness, argues the best way to order a Chipotle burrito, and compares repentance to eating a stick of celery.

Anabelle is a twenty-something member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who barely knows what she’s doing. Loosely based on Come, Follow Me, she relates gospel thoughts to her everyday life through a strange mix of random and seemingly irrelevant anecdotes and unexpectedly deep and spiraling tangents. There’s nothing Anabelle loves more than a good conversation, and that’s what she wants to have with you. She’ll laugh, she’ll cry, she’ll rant, she’ll rave, and you’ll get to listen in all along the way.
