An inactive member we've been visiting looked me DEAD in the eye & told me "I don't like you" BUT he came to church AND said he is going to come back every week from now on!!!!!!!!
God's praise over Dan's praise ANY DAY
Sister Jones has been praying FOR WEEKS to know how to better explain what the Book of Mormon is to her friends. We PULL UP to this ladies home, COMPLETELY unaware of that, with the lesson plan being: roleplay- how to introduce the Book of Mormon to your friends.
God KNEW what she needed & it's SO incredible that He worked THROUGH me & Sister Gilmore to help her.
Honored.
"Let GO so GOD can GO"- Sister Gilmore
Abbie can still see dead people.... and I can feel them in her home!!! NOT in the good way.
I wish I still had my Mr. T poster to watch over me.
Taught Michael the 10 commandments. Commandment 7 really hit him hard, "YEAH! don't mess with NOBODY'S old lady"
Got it??
"I can't physically see God in front of me, but I can see my neighbor" - dianne tanzy
God POURS down blessings on us daily. He SHOWERS us with them. We can love Him BACK & serve Him BACK by trying to love and serve our neighbors.
WHO cares about who you're serving!!! You're not even serving them. You're SERVING GOD!!!!
I'll SCRUB the nastiest toilet till it SPARKLES.
only for God though.
Our friend Joseph is now on date for baptism, AND has been asking us for more copies of the Book of Mormon so he can GIVE THEM TO HIS FRIENDS??? He's been telling EVERYONE about it.
"The spirit feels like gratitude and appreciation"- Carl Pickens
I've been working on making & keeping commitments with myself MY WHOLE LIFE.
"I'm going to run everyday this month"
"I'm going to ONLY speak kindly about myself"
"I'm going to...blah blah blah"
GUESS WHAT I BASICALLY FAIL EVERY TIME!!!!
I've been SWITCHING it up the past couple weeks. I'm NO LONGER making those commitments with myself, but with God.
"Whatever I tell God I'm going to do, I'll do"- Sister Gilmore (she really is a fountain of inspiration & goodness)
This commitment thing??? Promising GOD I'm going to do better & be better??? IT WORKS!!
I realized I've been fine with disappointing myself & breaking promises with myself... BUT WITH GOD?? UH NO THANK YOU!! I'll be keeping THOSE promises till the day I die.
Next time you make a goal! Commit with God! Not just yourself! It! works!
