Peace in Christ

 Shattering and broken I crumble to the floor 

How much longer must I endure? 

Every billowing second is a suffering cry 

Please Lord don't forger me don't pass me by 

My hands empty I have nothing to give 

Is my life even worthy do I have reason to live?

Fading into oblivion no longer can I see 

Please Lord take this pain from me

My child so deceived there is much you don't know 

Your suffering isn't punishment from it you will grow







I am sure we have all felt this way at some point, thus the inspiration for the poem. Amidst the suffering, it is hard to see the reason for the pain, I have felt this myself, I can think of a time right now. 


I decided to perform the song Peace in Christ in church, and had practiced many times, however things did not go as smooth as I had hoped they would. The day of my performance, my back began to cramp very badly, to the point I was gasping for air. This happened an hour before my musical number, and I was terrified that it would ruin the number. 

I lay there, pain rippling through my body, and as I laid, I felt an overwhelming power come over me, it was the love of the lord, he was offering me his peace. He did not cure my pain but because of my faith, I knew things would be okay, the musical number was perfect, and I was able to relate its divine words to my own life. 

Christ told Joseph Smith that his suffering would be but a small moment, and the same is for us, there is always a sunrise in the morning, if we can make it through the night.

This Will Bring you True Satisfaction.

Fear, the force that constantly dictates our decisions. This power magnifies insecurity, and causes us to compare ourselves to others. There is also something else that panic leads to, something that one person triumphs at. I allowed terror to run my life, for years I would hide myself, blending in until I no longer knew who I was, letting every insecurity carve its bloody handprint into my brain until I believed every word.  We often wish for what we don't have, assuming that if we were prettier, thinner, more wealthy, or in a relationship, that then we would feel satisfied. Fear entangles our brain in a web of lies, saying that we are not enough, and if we can just achieve something else then we will be happy. This belief is deceitful, dangerous, and addicting.  I constantly battle with the false notion that because of my visual impairment, I have to make up for the difference, that I am less then others because I cannot see as they do. I tell myself that I  am only wor...

Women of God

Women of God  What makes a woman powerful? Many have asked this question, and there have been a  spectrum of answers. One might say her beauty, or determination. Another might respond  that it is her confidence. These are all great attributes, however, they are all fleeting if the  woman does not have this one single characteristic. This quality is not obtained through her  looks, or the people she comes into contact with. It is something few women have, but  something that everyone can feel, it shines like a light in the darkness. It can lift up these  qualities, and make them eternal.  This power is her identity, the sureness of herself, not through her achievements, but through  a person who knows of her true value, a person that suffered every pain just for this single  woman. This person is Christ. Christ gives us true confidence, love and virtue, because he sees  us as we truly are. He removes all the doubts in our minds, the ...
