Portraits of Faith

Building a Reservoir of Faith

In retrospect, we can see that the time we spent longing, questioning, and wishing, was exactly what we needed to build a reservoir of faith we could tap into when we faced the difficulties of parenting precocious young children.

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.

Perspective

While I know that there will always be difficulties, my testimony has been strengthened with the added perspective of hindsight. Looking back, I now see that some of the trials have turned to blessings.

Glimpse Into Eternity

In some ways, the sealing power has greater meaning as life unfolds. The Temple is many things: a house of study, a house of order, of learning, of faith and glory. Most of all a house of love.

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.

A Slowly Focusing Vision of the Atonement

Ten years from now, will I come back to this and realize how much I only knew in part? Perhaps. But a lifetime of seeing through a glass, darkly, a journey of slowly focusing vision, has brought me a deep love for the Savior and His Atonement, and for that, I kind of like it.

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.

My Three Most Cherished Relationships

These three relationships are my foundation. They mean everything to me. I am so very grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints where I can continue to learn about, grow closer to, and develop my relationship with Heavenly Father, Jesus Christ, and The Holy Ghost.

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!
