He Is In My Story

Join Elisha Trask as she shares her hard experience growing up. Her parents addiction shaped her life, her understanding of Christ's love for each of us, and how much love she now shares with others around her.

The Lord has definitely shown up for her numerous times throughout her life.

Her light of kindness and devotion to following through with spiritual promptings and offering prayers for people is an example for all of us.

Whatever you are going through, know you're not alone. The Lord is with you and using your experiences to shape and refine you.

This beautiful story shared by Kirstin Baxter @shinemommyshine is one you won't want to miss!

She shares how growing up her sensitive and empathetic personality made her feel alone.

She now knows that it is a gift that can be used to help strengthen and understand others.

Our father in Heaven has given us all unique gifts that may make us feel insignificant at times (because of the reactions of others), but we need each other and all our differences.

So, if you feel different or not measuring up to others "normal" or "standards", know that it is the Lord who created you the way you are for a great purpose in building forth His kingdom.

He loves us here and now for who we are, and loves us for who we are capable of becoming.

The dark things we go through are to emphasize the light and growth that comes as we rely on Him.

Take His name upon you. Call upon Him in all your needs. He has many names. What role are you needingHim to play in your life right now?

Here are just a few to get you thinking...

Comforter, Savior, Prince of Peace, teacher, advocate, good shepherd, friend, and so many more.

Through our experiences we are being lifted and refined. I hope you feel that in your own life. We are not asked to be a Zion person but to become a Zion people. We need each other. Come as you are and let's strengthen each other and learn from one another.

Kristen Scott shares her musical journey with the Lord.

She talks about her favorite place is to e in the recording studio. As she continued recording amazing Christian music, she was impressed that she could be doing more.

The Lord Kept guiding her to start writing her own music. When she finally followed through, blessings started coming.

I asked her as a young mother how she makes time to do this. She reminds us that when we make time for the most important things, time is made possible. The Lord also shows up for her in everyday experiences. In her car, doing the dishes, playing with her kids, etc.

We also discuss how the Lord inspires her music writing. She talks about studying the scriptures, general conference talks, and other inspiring messages to help her find key inspirational truths.

When and where has the Lord sent impressions to your mind? I love that He meets us where we are and makes things happen.

Christ knows what impact we can make. If we follow His guidance, beautiful things will happen

Julie @julie.and.jesus shares her testimony and story of how the Lord Showed up for her through serving I the temple.

The temple is a place of safety, security, knowledge, and peace. It binds families for eternity.

When we make time for the Lord, He will magnify our efforts and calm our troubled hearts. He will make our burdens light.

Kyla shares her story of being led by the Lord in many different scenarios in her life.

She is a California girl who married and divorced young, moved to Utah and found her husband, lost her sweet brother, and so much more.

Her saving grace was listening to Elder Uchtdorf's address in 2010 called, " Your Happily Ever After". If you haven't heard that talk, we advise you to go listen. It is beautiful.

We talked about retying a little harder each day helps us draw closer to Christ. This life is an opportunity of BECOMING.

So much goodness was shared and I hope you love hearing from her as much as I did.

I know Christ is in the details of our lives. I hope you see Him in your story as well.

Come listen to Keaton @wordsofhisprophets shares her experience of the Lord prevailing in her life. Moving away from family across the country is not an easy task, but the comforting influence of the Savior made it possible and rewarding.

She went from being an active member on Sundays to being eager and invested in Heavenly Father's work. Her anxiety fled and she was able to feel peace.

When things are meant to be, things fall into place. The blessings do comes we align our will with the Father's

Her community is looking forward to a temple being build in the city in the near future and it will be such a blessing to the members and non members alike. They are being prepared and they are ready.

I hope we can all be blessed to recognize the blessings of the Lord prevailing in our lives! His doors will open wide when we are willing to follow His promptings and take difficult

steps. It is one way to show Him we are faithful and believing.

Shylene @yogilady2020 shares her experience of finding her divine worth through her Savior Jesus Christ.

From her ballet career, to leaving an abusive relationship, and raising her own daughter, she has learned to turn things over to the Lord.

She has and continues to learn alongside all of us that it was an honor and privilege for the Savior to die for us. He loves us that much.

Just as she referred Sister Runia's talk this past general conference, we need to remember that our worth never changes in the sight of God. Yes, we are working to become worthy each and every day, but our worth never diminishes.

No matter our circumstances, I hope we can all take Shylene's advice to quiet the noise in our head to truly know and FEEL of our Savior's love for us.

This weeks IG live with Jenny @stalwartdeciple had me recognize my blessings when I make time for the Lord. He is always by our side giving us more strength and energy than we think we have when we accept to serve Him and His children.

Being intentional about our time and priorities will lift us up and magnify our efforts.

Life is busy. As we communicate our needs and are willing to seek help when needed, blessings will flow.

Have you felt burdened by a calling? Or unsure you should accept that extra responsibility? This story is for you!

Sheila from the Beyond Coincidnece Podcast, is so mindful and generous in her experience of loosing her dad and just couple weeks later her mother and sister. Grief is a crazy thing. We all deal with it differently.

Her light shines as she shares how the Lord blessed her through this experience.

The Lord is aware of our needs even before things happen. He prepares the way to make our life beautiful and fulfilling.

If you are feeling like He isn't there for you right now, I urge you to look back on the times he has been there for you. If those aren't easy to come by, start making the effort to notice the small and simple things now.

You are not alone. Grief is hard. Life is hard. But with out Savior, all things can be overcome and made light.

Katie @soulofgreatworth on IG shares her experience serving a mission while fighting chronic Migraines.

When she returned home, although she had so many amazing things happening in her life, her mental illness took a turn.

She shares her testimony of God pulling her out of a deep dark hole and helping her see the light again.

Heavenly Father needs us all. No matter our hardships, he can lift us up in due time and use your experiences to strengthen others.

You are of worth. You are worth fighting for. Your mission is not done. Look to the Lord for guidance and strength. And when you don't feel Him near, look for His hand in other instances in your life.

Give yourself Grace. He will bless you in ways you cannot comprehend.
