Lori is an example of simple, yet profound faith. Starting at a young age when faced with the terrible challenge of losing a father, she has always turned to the Lord.  Through her stories she shows how to utilize the power of God in our lives to help others: our family, friends, ministering sisters, and total strangers.  I hope you enjoy her journey as much as I did.

As one adds the light of Christ into their life, they will receive more power.  Darcee is a living testimony of this truth.  She has dedicated her life to following and rejoicing in Jesus Christ and she has received power to persist in difficult situations, power to wait on the Lord, power to achieve her desires, and power to achieve things she never even dreamed of.  As a lover of words, Darcee, looked up the definitions of Recognize and Rejoice and what she discovered brought this podcast to a whole new level.  

Recognize: to show official appreciation of. 

Rejoice: to experience joy and gladness in a high degree.  

Darcee points out that we can recognize or show our official appreciation for all Jesus Christ has done for us by our actions; actions such as attending the temple, listening to His prophets, serving others, etc.  Then as a result of showing our appreciation we experience joy and gladness, as a gift.  We don't create joy, we experience and receive it as a natural consequence of worshipping our Lord.  

Enjoy the show!

Lindsay is a wealth of insights and experience in finding delight in your life.  She shows us through her experiences that we don't just magically become the people we want to be.  When we are able to recognize, take advantage of, and practice the tools that are placed in our paths throughout our journeys we can become who we want to be.  Life's changes and challenges can be blessings.  One way she likes to find more evidence of God and goodness in her life is to recite mantras to herself, for example, "Everything works out for me."   For change starts with awareness and the more we look for evidence of good, the more we see it.  Enjoy!

Start your new year with a powerful reminder of how the Lord is in all parts of your life - family, hobbies, work, etc.  Life is hard and there are so many ways it tries to beat us down (death, divorce, job loss, struggles of owning your own business, unmet expectations, health struggles, etc), but with the power of God in your life you can overcome all obstacles and look back with gratitude.  

Alana uses a 5 Year Journal to keep her memories and to look back with gratitude.  Megan has also used one for 11 years now - she's on her 3rd book. "I'm so grateful for my friend who gifted me my first one so many years ago."
