You Don't Need

You Don't Need

 

You look in the mirror

to see your reflection,

Trying to add another trophy

To your worldly collection.

But don't you know,

Don't you see

As a daughter of God

You are clothed in emaculate beauty??

 

You don't need a crown to make

Your divinity any more real.

You don't need some jerk of a man

To tell you how to feel.

You don't need a pocket full of gold

Or the perfect skin,

To achieve the potential

That you have within!

Ya, you don't need.

 

You walk down the street,

Strutting your stuff.

Cuz the truth is

that you don't feel you're enough.

You think you need him or her

To be respected and adored.

But the truth, is girl,

You are loved way more!

 

You don't need a crown to make

Your divinity any more real.

You don't need some jerk of a man

To tell you how to feel.

You don't need a pocket full of gold

Or the perfect skin,

To achieve the potential

That you have within!

Ya, you don't need.

 

And when you've had enough

When you collapse to your knees,

Saying you'll never measure up,

Asking, "Father, please."

You ask for the world

But don't you see?

You're asking for things

that you don't need!

 

You don't need a crown to make

Your divinity any more real.

You don't need some jerk of a man

To tell you how to feel.

You don't need a pocket full of gold

Or the perfect skin,

To achieve the potential

That you have within!

Ya, you don't need.

 

Emailing

Hey folks!
  I know I have not posted in...forever.  :)  Studying and life is fun (I know...lame excuse.)
  Anyway, so I've been getting these emails about "blog content" from random people, and they show up my spam box.  Ugh... so I don't open them.  If you have something to add to the blog, I ask you to please comment....cuz I'm too superstitious to click on a spam mail.
  Moral of the story: comment
-Love love love, folks!

Daughters of God Video

Hi Guys!

My Testimony

So, my Seminary teacher encouraged us all to share our testimony of Christ with a friend....and since you're all my friends, I shall share it on The Flame. 
  
    It's hard to collect your thoughts, even when you don't have to verbally speak them.  And though it is hard to detect emotion, feelings, or truth, often, through written words, I hope you will still somehow be able to read this in the way I wrote it.

   My testimony is not an elaborate list of knowledge and belief.  It is not a complex and wordy talk that will go down in history.  In fact, I highly doubt hardly anyone will read this.  But if you do, I hope it is profitable unto you.

   I know that Christ lives.  Plain and simple.  He helped create this world in seven days.  Seven days!  Consider the power and the majesty of that!  I know (or at least picture it) that Christ was sitting down with me, along with Heavenly Father, when we wrote the rough draft of my happily ever after and divine destiny.  He told me I could do it.  I promised I would. 
   I know He hung on a cross for me.  He died for me.  He showed the greatest example ever of infinite love and charity.  He holds the purest love in His heart for me.  He has engraved His holy name upon my heart, and I will forever cherish it.  It is because of Him I am who I am.  It is because of Him I have the strength to go through what I do.  He has suffered every grief, every misfortune, every weakness of my soul.  And He did it because He loves me. 

  I know that Christ and Heavenly Father are not dead.  Their words of inspiration still flow from the mouths of modern prophets.  They love us in these latter days just as much as they loved the children in the days of Noah or in the days of the 1st 12 Apostles. 

   And I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true.  No doubt.  Coupled with the atoning power of Christ and the love of God, it is one of the fundamental things in life that keeps me going.  Without it, I would not be here.  Without it, I would not be writing this blog.

 Thus it is, my testimony.  In the sacred name of my Savior, Jesus Christ: Amen.

  

LDS Seminary

I have mentioned Seminary in previous posts.  Right now, right here, I am asking you all to go to Seminary.
Seminary will change your life.  It is a place where you can learn about the scriptures with people who share similar values to you.  It is a place where the scriptures will come to life, where you'll finally understand Isaiah, and where you will feel close to the Spirit.  In the midst of school, Seminary is a shining beacon.
For those who are going, keep going and invite others to come.
For those who are pondering, do it!
For those who have no idea what seminary is, I can tell you, it is like a class, but in this class your textbook is your scriptures.  I love it!
For more information on Seminary, visit http://seminary.lds.org/?lang=eng

Why should you go to Seminary: http://seminary.lds.org/videos/invite-a-friend-to-seminary?lang=eng

I promise you that if you walk through those Seminary doors with an open heart and mind, you will never leave the same person again.

Accept the challenge.  Click the response "cool" if you promise to try Seminary out at least once.  Click "interesting" if you are already going.  Also, comment and share your testimony about Seminary.
