Intentional Living: End My Day meditation

Fear 3 meditation

Do you feel in a motherhood or spiritual slump?

Do you feel mentally stuffed but spiritually hungry?

Do you feel easily overstimulated or frustrated with your children?

Do you wish you felt closer to Heavenly Father and the Savior?

In today's episode I talk about where I've been these past couple of weeks, and how where I've been has helped me with each of these things that I had been feeling.

It is my hope that mothers who answered yes to any of these questions can feel motivated to go where I've been, and know how it can truly help drastically deepen their relationship with Him and their families. 

In today's episode, Katey and I talk about ways that we strive to fill our lamps 'drop by drop' through our daily actions that ultimately help us strengthen our personal relationships with Jesus Christ.

From daily Book of Mormon reading to the daily wearing of our temple garments, we discuss ways to fill our vessels with converting drops that will truly light our way back to Him in the tumultuous world we live in. 

In today's episode, Katey and I feast upon the story of the Ten Virgins and focus on why it is essential to have the oil of personal conversion in our lamps, and how doing so creates a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ.

Today is a special episode leading up to General Conference, focused ultimately on how prophets truly are a type and shadow of Jesus Christ. I am joined by Sara Phelps who runs the Instagram account @Iamsaraphelps, where she testifies boldly of living prophets and of Jesus Christ.

Using Sheri Dew's talk "Prophets Can See Around Corners" as our guide throughout the episode, Sara shares ways we can prioritize the words from General Conference and the words from prophets in our daily lives as mothers.

Today's episode talks about ways we can recognize moments the Savior abides with us in motherhood, as well as ways that we can abide with our Savior and our children daily.
