Years ago, I read a poem that described a woman’s day filled with constant responsibilities, a day in which she worked from dawn to dark and only then did she allow herself to rest and rejoice in coming to the end of a “perfect day.” I truly thought to work continuously, stopping for as little […]
Writing Prayerfully
Writing as I receive inspiration, insights, impressions (revelation) slows me down so that I take the time to let the eyes of my understanding work. In other words, so that pictures, vision of what the thought (words) means, can come into my mind. When I pray or ponder without writing I fly by the words […]
Writing to Treasue My Life
Stopping to write now and then throughout the day does not diminish or detract from the rest of my life–it gives me the rest of my life. The truth is the more I am willing to pay attention and record and treasure up the hours of my life–the more I get done in them. Not […]
Commanded vs Counseled
This morning, as I was writing in my journal I was reminded of the “mystery” of how it is that the Lord would inspire His Prophet to testify to us: “The constant and recurring question in our minds, touching every thought and action of our lives, should be, ‘Lord, what wilt thou have me to […]
The Everlasting Word is My Salvation
Good morning! I share the following scripture likening experience in order to rejoice in the testimony of so many prophets that we can liken the scriptures unto our own lives. Even though Alma was asking in these five verses about the experience of a whole group of people, I felt invited to think of his […]
The Most Irreplaceable Creature of All
It is tragic to me that people go through day after day of their lives, maybe their whole lives, and never write one thing down. I don’t mean letters to others or lists of things to do–I mean things about themselves, about what they think, feel, wish, hope, dream, care about, don’t care about. Don’t […]
Omni 1:26 – Come Unto Christ
This morning, as I began my morning meditation, the scripture that came to my mind from the Holy Spirit was Omni 1:26. I was invited to “liken” it to myself and hear it directly addressed to me. Hear it, as in perceive it and receive it into my heart. Thus, through the Spirit, I heard: […]
God’s Generosity Is to All
GOD’S GENEROSITY EXTENDS TO ALL WHO SEEK HIM WITH FAITH In James 1:5, we read that God gives wisdom to all men liberally who seek in faith. That designation of “all men” includes non-Mormons (much to some Mormons’ disbelief), but it also works the other way with equal truth. In other words, despite some non-Mormon’s […]
When No Offense Is Meant
Good morning! Hope you are having an insight-full day. In other words, hope the light is as bright and clear inside as it is outside on this cloudless summer morning. As I posted a few days ago, I’ve been reviewing my journal entries of 2002. Doing this review work is by far the most exciting […]
Writing Prayerfully Every Day
I attended the Heart-t-Heart online meeting this morning, and as always was so blessed by the experience. Here’s what I shared about the tool (gift) of writing: Hi, Colleen here in beautiful Cache Valley, UT. I would like to share on the tool of writing and how it has become such a tool of sanity […]
