The Stars, the Wind, the Trees, the Flowers!
Lately I have become totally entranced, mystified by the trees and the flowers. Did you know that the branches of trees point upward to the sky because they are in constant praise and worship of God? Did you know that when you are in tune with your heart, you can actually hear the flowers talk?
I know I sound like a crazy person but it is true. If we become truly quiet inside ourselves, expressing love, being love, we begin to listen to the messages found in nature, because it is in nature that God resides. He created all things and they all praise Him. When we get that quiet we can actually feel the gentle brush of truth. It is like a subtle wind that brushes up against us in the quiet and even darkest moments of our life. When we come to Him with questions, we get that soft wind blowing against us so gently that if we weren't so desperate to hear it, we might even miss it. That is the gentle brush of truth. It usually tells us who we really are, reminds us we are divine beings, reminds us of our power and of the happiness and joy that is our birthright.

Sunday Notes
Here are some principles I learned this Sunday:
-The power of sisterhood lies in vising with each other, allowing ourselves to be vulnerable, talking about the dark topics in our life and allowing others to help us. It is when we talk, that we can bring light into the dark parts of your lives and receive healing.
-The more we learn to love ourselves, the less we feel a need to rebel against God and against the truth. The more you love yourself, the more you embrace the truth because you realize that it's all for your greater good.
-I'm loving this scripture in Proverbs 3: 13-26

14 For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold.15 She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her.

If You've Ever Wondered If You Can Have It All
Read this post on the Huffington Post about three sisters who created a multimillion dollar business.
Because we are children of God, we can create anything. Anything! Even the things that are unimaginable.

He Makes Weak Things Strong Unto Us
I'm so inspired by this video I found today:
This woman, Maysoon Zayid, has cerebral palsy AND she is truly beautiful! Her spirit is shining through! She has found her soul's purpose on this Earth and she is contributing to people's happiness through her talent of comedy and humor. I am so inspired by her!
As I listened to her interview I thought to myself, of how this woman's strength lies in her weakness. It was a gift to God for her and she has been able to discover that and use that to her advantage in her life. I thought of how there are no failures or mistakes. God's hand is in all of our lives. I thought of how beautiful she is and how there will always be people who are governed by demons-- people who want to tear us down, people who do not see with their spiritual eyes but rather hold on to the physical and carnal things as evidence of false truths. Each person on this Earth must be stronger than these demons. We must know our worth. That we are children of God and that we are beautiful and that in our weakness is where God manifests His miracles. Through our weaknesses we can honor God and find our greatest strengths. If this woman has done this, why can't I?
Elder Gerald Causse said:
One of the most comforting teachings of the gospel is that each son and daughter of God—every one of us—is born with an inheritance of gifts, talents, and abilities that can help us through our earthly mission. The scripture says, “For there are many gifts, and to every man is given a gift by the Spirit of God.”7 We cannot be happy and successful in life without gratefully acknowledging those gifts and doing all we can to develop them. Our problem is never that we have no strengths; the problem comes when we do not recognize our strengths and build upon them...I assure you, the Lord has the power to transform your weaknesses into strengths! The promise made by the Lord to the Apostle Paul is valid for each of you: “My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”5 And then Paul added, “For when I am weak, then am I strong.”6--2 Corinthians 12:10.
“God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty.”4-- 1 Corinthians 1:27.
