I’m not offended when someone claims that I am not a Christian, because their opinion does not matter to me. I know who I am, I know God’s plan, and I’ll follow HIM in faith 🤍

I’m about to risk waking my babies up to hold them so close tonight. I will never understand how people can be so cruel and truly evil to children, especially infants. 💔

This is what I’ve been trying say all day lol

Just had to change my @ to @jmillinmac because having some rando use my maiden name as a pet name gave me the ick

Hold up. “You basically just said” nope. Go back and read what I actually said. Ironically we are saying the exact same thing here Sis. No one is demanding you like “it”(an increase of upbeat spiritual music like the Southern Baptist choirs, or the fact that there COULD be some hidden ritual or agenda) We all have the ability to feel the spirit in our own special way. You may consider yourself highly sensitive to that sort of thing and that’s fine! That’s the way you feel it! Great! But don’t deny others the spirit they’re feeling when they are participating in something you’re not familiar or comfortable with! I could easily turn the table and say “you basically just said I feel the spirit wrong” because I feel the opposite, but I didn’t and I won’t because I’m not your judge! Just because something is different doesn’t make it wrong. I’m not saying we should adapt all of their lyrics if they go contrary to the doctrines of our church. I just want to include the JOY that is obviously felt when they are singing praises to their God! It’s truly not that deep

You value open dialogue, sharing testimony naturally, celebrating family milestones, and letting the Spirit guide everyday moments (like connecting with neighbors at the pool). Playful humor mixed with heartfelt gratitude and service. • Core Traits: Nurturing, graceful under pressure, protective of family and faith, social through your kids, optimistic, and committed to peace and understanding.

Plus, they’re serene yet strong, just like stepping up spiritually while keeping things wholesome and loving. 🦢 The image captures that warm, family-centered essence!”

If you don’t agree with my beliefs then just don’t believe them? Im not going to be offended. I will however be offended when you actively misrepresent my beliefs and accuse me of something that’s entirely false. So unless you’re willing to sit down and allow me to fully explain what I believe (not what you think my “label” tells you I believe) let’s just agree to disagree and be civil.

There’s no reason to gate keep Jesus.

Do we as members of the church realize that we don’t have a monopoly on what it looks like to worship ?? Yes we have been given the revelation and the authority and the fullness of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I absolutely acknowledge that we should protect and preserve the reverence of sacred ordinances and covenants such as sacrament meeting and temple worship. But you’ve got to realize that there are a lottttttt of Christians that have been just as, if not more faithful and devout to their own beliefs than some of us are ourselves??? The way I see it, when we get to the other side, and Jesus has proclaimed his gospel and everyone has had a chance to accept the reality of the restoration etc. when EVERYONE knows and has accepted the fullness of the gospel, it is not going to look or sound the way you expect it! We don’t have to be the same, to be one!

THIS SO MUCH THIS!!!! You can want the church to be more inclusive of other cultures/traditions without changing the doctrine and principles of the gospel!!!

The thing I probably judge people the most for is how good their hand soap smells in their bathroom.

They call it “tah” because of all the fake tah tahs btw

New fighting preacher just dropped

I can’t prove it, but I just know that they’re LDS

Hot take: I think our church culture is too reverent at times when it can be more energetic and joyful. Ever since I served my mission in the South, I’ve always craved that energetic spirit I felt when I was with people of other faiths. Granted there’s a time and a place for everything, but give me the swaying, clapping, “Thank you Jesus” crowd over the “do you think she’s wearing her garments” crowd any day of the week.

When you realize that all of the negative self talk was actually just Satan

Ever since we’ve moved here I’ve felt the spirit nudging me to step up my game spiritually. I’ll admit I haven’t been the most active in my study and conscientious effort to share my testimony since my mission, but I’ve always made church attendance a priority and have always accepted assignments to serve and teach. I was just called as the new secretary in the primary (which is WILD because I haven’t been in primary since I was IN primary) and since I received my calling I’ve felt like the Lord was going to use me, or mainly my super social children, to connect with other families that are searching for the gospel. My 4 year old daughter is VERY social, and made a friend the first day we moved in. We’ve seen her a hand full of times at the park/pool, but I had only seen her mom maybe once, I noticed that she had tattoos and a vape and that’s about it. I didn’t see them at church, so I had the thought to reach out and maybe see if we could befriend their family somehow. Well of course I neglected that thought and allowed my anti-social mom habits to kick in and forgot all about it… Until tonight. As we were walking to the pool we saw the mom and her kids talking to the missionaries and saying goodbye to the one before he was transferred. I offered to take a picture for them and we got to talking and I found out that they are a part member family and that her two kids were recently baptized! We ended up talking a lot more at the pool and our husbands were able to connect and overall it was a really great experience! When I got home I realized that the Lord wanted me to step up my game so people can feel the love I have for Jesus and for the church without having to force it. He knew I wouldn’t likely go out on my own to try and meet her in a churchy way, so He aligned the timing of our going to the pool to perfectly meet up with her encounter with the missionaries! I’m so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father that loves me enough to hold my hand through the things he has called me to do 🥹❤️

The Lord has a sense of humor if you pay attention to him enough
