President Monson's Challenge: The ABC's Quest

If any of you are up to date on our beloved Prophet's Facebook (yes, he is cool enough to have a Facebook!) then you know about the challenge that he has given to us--to seek more abundance in life. Abundance in things that will do us good. He has shared his 3 ABC's with us:

A=Attitude; B=Believe; C=Courage

Also, he has encouraged us to come up with our own ABC's and to work on them this coming 2015 year. Thus, I have created my own ABCs and have shared them on my other blog. Believe me, I had a fun time figuring out what to work on for letters X-Z! Please see my other blog to learn more about my commitment to the Prophets alphabet challenge and how I plan on achieving such abundance. Hopefully, it will encourage you to create your own abundance alphabet to work on this coming year. Our prophet loves us and he wants the best for us! This is an amazing challenge! I have faith that if we take ourselves on this quest that President Monson has challenged us to do that we can only receive great blessings.

The Easy Way of Getting Active Again

It's an awesome time of year. We are all about to enter into a whole new year with many possibilities. For everyone who is striving to gain something more spiritual in their lives or who is looking towards becoming more active in the church, please see my other blog.

On this blog, I have come up with a month-by-month plan of how to do that. It is not a "cold turkey" or a fast track way. It is the "easy way" or the "slow way". Because sometimes when you run too fast at first, you crash. I am not saying that you shouldn't give it all you can, but for some people that I know and have come across it's a bit much to just be expected to do all the things that "life Mormons" have done all their lives all at once.

Also, in the end (month December) I talk about a Christmas tradition of my family's which is to do a nativity reenactment. However, I will post the picture exclusively right here:

I have really long hair and thus my littlest sister enjoys pulling it together to form a beard. My dad called it my Duck Dynasty beard!
