He IS Risen!

I've been so consumed with all the changes going on in my life, dance recitals and too many other concerns. But I certainly don't want to forget the reason we celebrate Easter or why it's so special to me.

As with all holidays I love the decor, the food and the family get together's.

But today, I am especially grateful for a Savior. For the knowledge that He lives. That He is mindful of me. That He carries me often.

I love Him. I am grateful for Him. And for all I learn from Him.

I am encouraged to know that I can actually become like Him. I strive for that daily.

I also fail daily.

I am grateful for His atonement - so when I fail, I can start over. And learn from my mistakes and hopefully, not repeat them.

I have faltered a little more this week than I would have liked. I forgot these words, "Look unto me in every thought; doubt not, fear not." D&C 6:36

I need to remember these words more often.

And these.

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me." Philipians 4:13

He IS risen. He lives! He loves each of us.

I Love Him.
