A new year bring new goals. This year I'm going to focus on seeking the good things in life.

I made a binder cover for school to help me remember. I thought I'd share it if other's wanted to use it.

I made it an 11x10 which should fit standard 1 inch binders.

Be Quick to Obey

Behold, the Lord requireth the hearth and a willing mind; and the willing and obedient shall eat the good of the land of Zion in these last days. D&C 64:34

bestsundaytie demeter42 companioncube76 get-enough-sleep Thank you for all of your suggestions! I love using the scripture mastery app especially since it will automatically give me the first letters. I've just been taking it one sentence at a time and so far I have 4 out of the 6 verses memorized!

"Happily ever after is not something found only in fairytales. You are a princess destined to become Queens. Your own wonderous story has already begun. Your once upon a time is now." -Dieter F. Uchtdorf

It was only a sunny smile, and little it cost in the giving; but like morning light it scattered the night and made the day worth living. -F. Scott Fitzgerald

Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; \we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity.

1. High on the mountain top

A banner is unfurled.

Ye nations, now look up;

It waves to all the world.

In Deseret's sweet, peaceful land,

On Zion's mount behold it stand!

2. For God remembers still

His promise made of old

That he on Zion's hill

Truth's standard would unfold!

Her light should there attract the gaze

Of all the world in latter days.

3. His house shall there be reared,

His glory to display,

And people shall be heard

In distant lands to say:

We'll now go up and serve the Lord,

Obey his truth, and learn his word.

4. For there we shall be taught

The law that will go forth,

With truth and wisdom fraught,

To govern all the earth.

Forever there his ways we'll tread,

And save ourselves with all our dead.

Sometimes I feel like it is easy for church members (including me) to forget that the church isn't an organized club that has certain rules that you have to abide by and if you don't you're a bad person--but that it is the church of our Lord who is at the head of it who gives us these commandments that we should actually be happy to follow because of all the tools and blessings we have been given. Also, not to forget that these commandments are given only for our benefit because of our Father in Heaven's love for us and because he knows all things and what will help us progress and be truly happy.

The church has came out with a website to help youth complete Elder Neil L. Andersen's challenge of taking our own names to the temple. You can sign up here and the website also offers helpful instructions to find names #TempleChallenge

Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game. -Babe Ruth

We must be sure to sincerely love those we want to help in righteousness so they can begin to develop confidence in God’s love.  -Elder Richard G. Scott

I love this quote so much because through us we can help others feel God’s love. It’s important that we know who we are and are obedient so that we can feel the blessings we receive from God so that we can be examples and help those who are struggling to do so themselves. I think that an important quality of a great leader is being able to serve those with the Spirit so that they can feel the great love of our Heavenly Father.
