The Case of the Missing Headphones

Last night I enlisted Spencer in helping me find my headphones that had been missing for over 2 weeks. I thought maybe I just needed a fresh set of eyes. We got out the flashlights and looked through every imaginable spot in the house and even the garage, but to no avail, no headphones! I began to lose hope. 

This morning I was getting ready to go to the temple and I had 10 mins before I needed to leave, so I decided I would spend 10 more mins looking. Well big surprise, I got sidetracked and started looking through my journal from Time Out For Woman and came across this note, "Go to the temple with very specific questions".

My missing headphones popped into my head, but that seemed like a silly "specific" question to take to the temple. I also had this inkling of fear and doubt, what if I pray about it in the temple and I still don't find them...?!?! So instead, as I walked into the temple, I decided to text my prayer warriors and ask them to pray for my missing headphones!

I went in the temple, did what I was there to do, then found a quiet corner of the celestial room and began to pray. The headphones popped into my head but again doubt crept into my mind. I continued to pray about other things and then as if I was almost being forced to ask, I said, show me where my headphones are, and then I waited. And in that moment my black floral backpack popped into my mind. My mind started to wonder to other places as I was sure I had already checked there, but all my thoughts were brought back to this backpack. 

As I left the temple, I texted Spencer, "On my way home. ETA 30. And check my black floral backpack for my headphones!! It's hanging in my closet." 

He replied right back, "Ye they were in there, I'll leave em on the table."

I called off my prayer warrior friends, no need to pray for me, found em! And went to my car and felt pure joy and love for my Savior. It obviously wasn't about my silly pink headphones, it was the amazing lesson the Lord taught me. He truly cares about the details of our lives. He is there always. He doesn't care, big or small...he cares. And the clarity we can have and feel in the temple is so amazing. If He can show me where to look for my headphones, imagine the other things we can learn from being in the temple, The House of the Lord.

Why is there a picture of a toilet in your journal?!? Well yesterday morning Mike clogged this thing good! We tried every trick in the book and no luck! Bought a drain snake, nope! Let it sit overnight & tried all the tricks again, no luck!! I thought I had thought of everything, but realized I hadn’t prayed, so I prayed and 3 mins later I heard a magical sound... It unclogged and all on its own, I didn’t even have to touch it another time...And then I cried. I cried because the Lord heard my prayer. He knew that I had done all that I could do & he made up for the rest. It’s a toilet though...big deal! It’s not about a toilet, it’s about life. In life we just need to try our best and the Lord will make up for the rest. ♥️ Kelli

Why do bad things happen?

  Why do bad things happen?  Throughout our mortal sojourn here on Earth we experience a plethora of experiences. Unfortunately a lot of those experiences aren't very positive in the sense that we go through hard times of sorrow, grief, sadness, depression, and many other negative experiences. Although these trials are not fun, or exactly what we want they are in fact inevitable. No one person can go through life without experiencing hard times, and some may ask "How could God let this happen to me?", or maybe "Why does God let bad things happen to good people?" and these are very valid questions, and I for one have asked them before. Being on a mission seeing the highs and lows of peoples lives has got me pondering those questions more and more. I occasionally lay awake at night getting bombarded with answers, thoughts, scriptures, and ideas concerning these questions. For one let's consider the following example of our very own Savior, and redeemer, Jesus ...

Sacrament Talk March 2021: Armor of God

Image
When Kaylee and Jake were little we had a family home evening lesson with this little felt guy, soft fuzzy felt. And we also had these red fiery darts made of velcro. The kids would throw their fiery darts at our little felt man and they would stick to him. Soon it was like this poor little man was just being tortured by these fiery darts!  Well thankfully for this little guy we also had armor! We gave him his: Breastplate of righteousness His helmet of salvation  His sword of the spirit And his shield of faith so he could withstand these fiery darts!! Do we ever feel a little like this poor felt guy? Do we ever feel a little tattered and torn, picked on or tortured by the fiery darts of the advisory?  Well we too have the ability to put on this armor of god!  But how do we put on the whole armor of God so that we may, as Paul promises us in the New Testament, “be able to withstand in the evil day”? Ephesians 6:11–18 Elder M. Russell Ballard in Be Strong in the Lord...
