Portraits of Faith

The Right Path

God has a plan for each and every one of us. He knows us intimately. We learned that praying for patience was particularly important as we pushed forward.

Letting Go of Our Own Will

My prayers have shifted from asking for what I want to ask to be open to what He wants for me. I have a lot to give, and I have some ideas on how I can share my gifts.

Putting God Above All Things

Since we got engaged and married, we’ve had many experiences that have tested our faith. But the most important aspect of all these experiences is the principle of putting God above all things. This has helped us to move forward and continue on the covenant path.

Refining Our Faith

This journey transformed our faith from a set of beliefs to a dynamic, evolving relationship with a loving God who is eager for us to learn and is full of grace when we make mistakes.

May We Love Everybody

May it make a difference in our lives. May we become a Zion people. May we love everybody. May we mourn with everybody.

Hold Fast to the Word of God

Brothers and sisters, I leave you my bishop’s blessing. I pray for you. The Lord wants you to have a new relationship with the scriptures. He wants to teach you.

Don’t Take the Good Things for Granted

When a hardship comes along, it may seem overwhelming, and we may feel an immense sense of loss. Most things we lose are temporary. An eternal perspective is important. The things that matter most and the things we should pursue have a more eternal impact.

The Grace of Christ

I love my Savior. And I love that Christ’s grace gives us the power and potential to become like Him!

Whispering of the Spirit

After being shaken up so much from the experience and not understanding what happened, I reflected on the subtle thoughts I had had and how I had not acted upon them.

I Will Rise

Alex Boye and Angela Lijenquist share their testimony through music that because He is risen from the dead we can also rise with Him and through Him.

Finding Faith

So, this confirmed to me that the Lord was not finished with me, he needed me to teach the children in our ward the power of music and the importance of his word through song.

Looking Up at the Temple Brings Peace

Time in the Temple will help you to think celestial and to catch a vision of who you really are, who you can become, and the kind of life you can have forever. Regular temple worship will enhance the way you see yourself and how you fit into God’s magnificent plan.

Finding Joy Through Trials

My wife in fact did beat this nasty disease and was called home in January of 2022. Although this has been a tough couple of years, we find great joy in knowing that she does not suffer any more and that the promise of that priesthood blessing was fulfilled.
