Be a Better Person-
"If we live by the principles of the gospel, we must be good people, for we will be generous and kind, thoughtful and tolerant, helpful and outreaching to those in distress. We can either subdue the divine nature and hide it so that it finds no expression in our lives, or we can bring it to the front and let it shine through all that we do."
--Gordon B. Hinckley, "Each a Better Person", Ensign, Nov. 2002, 99
James 1:22, 27
Have I Done Any Good?, Hymn #223
For a while now, my husband as been encouraging me to get a blog. So here it is. This blog is intended for me to vent,talk, rejoice, record or whatever the day may hold. I hope you enjoy the thoughts from my days.
A look in the Mirror
- Amanda Collins
- WA, United States
- I am 22 this summer. Thinking on it is kind of a bizarre thought. My friends' circle basically consists of people who are older than me. But i guess that is not much different than how i have been my whole life. So, looking in the mirror, I see a 22 year old mother of a bright little girl named Abigale and a darling son named Caden. I am the wife of a driven, loving father, and thoughtful husband, Chad. I am an animal lover; some would (and have) call me insane. My husband and I have five cats. Also added to our family was a Australian Shephard, Black Lab, Wolf mix pup. We brought her to our home on April first of 2008. She is a sweet little girl named Tikaani. She is driving me insane with training but she was young when we got her. Our recent endeavor is 4 chickens for laying hens and a duck. To top off our list of animals, we have a fish tank. As for hobbies... well I love to do anything with family. I am a very social person. We recently moved back home to Marysville, which has been a welcomed blessing. We are closer to family and I have made several friends in our new ward.

Nuggets to "chew" On: LDS Nuggets
Opening Our Hearts-
"The heart is a tender place. It is sensitive to many influences, both positive and negative. It can be hurt by others. It can be deadened by sin. It can be softened by love. Early in our lives, we learn to guard our hearts. It is like we erect a fence around our hearts with a gate in it. No one can enter that gate unless we allow him or her to."
| --Gerald N. Lund, "Opening Our Hearts", Ensign, May 2008, 32–34 |
| D&C 121:34–35 | Know This, That Every Soul Is Free, Hymn #240 |
Today-
"This life is not so much a time for getting and accumulating as it is a time for giving and becoming. Mortality is the battlefield upon which justice and mercy meet. But they need not meet as adversaries, for they are reconciled in the Atonement of Jesus Christ for all who wisely use Today."
| --Lance B. Wickman, "Today", Ensign, May 2008, 103–5 |
| D&C 64:23–25, 33 | Today, While the Sun Shines, Hymn #229 |
Character-
"We are not born into this world with fixed habits. Neither do we inherit a noble character. Instead, as children of God, we are given the privilege and opportunity of choosing which way of life we will follow—which habits we will form. Confucius said that the nature of men is always the same. It is their habits that separate them. Good habits are not acquired simply by making good resolves, though the thought must precede the action. Good habits are developed in the workshop of our daily lives. It is not in the great moments of test and trial that character is built. That is only when it is displayed. The habits that direct our lives and form our character are fashioned in the often uneventful, commonplace routine of life. They are acquired by practice."
| --Delbert L. Stapley, "Good Habits Develop Good Character", Ensign, Nov. 1974, 20 |
| D&C 6:33 | We Are Sowing, Hymn #216 |
