Certain Women - free LDS Christian coloring page

Hello friends! Last night was the women's session of our semi-annual general conference, and I was so struck by President Linda Burton's message about "certain women," a phrase often used in the New Testament. You can watch it here, but her main idea was to think of the word "certain" in a new way - confident, sure, convinced. She spoke about female disciples of Christ in every era, and how their certain witnesses kept them close to the Savior and empowered them to bring others to Christ as well. She said, "Certain women are disciples, centered in Jesus Christ the Savior." I loved that idea of being centered in the Savior and letting everything else grow from that. Sister Gordon, the first speaker of the evening, had also spoken of staying centered and not getting off balance by trusting in the Lord. My word for 2017 is balance, and these messages really speak to my heart. I hope they do for you, too!

Sunday will come - Free LDS coloring page!



Hello, friends! Spring is here, and for the next few weeks I'll be focusing on Easter and the Atonement. There is simply nothing that brings me more joy and hope than the Atonement of our Savior. I really love the talk "Sunday will come" by Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin. His talk centers on grief, losing loved ones, and the hope of the Atonement, and I think it applies to all of us when we are going through our hardest times. Here's my favorite part:

"Each of us will have our own Fridays—those days when the universe itself seems shattered and the shards of our world lie littered about us in pieces. We all will experience those broken times when it seems we can never be put together again. We will all have our Fridays.

But I testify to you in the name of the One who conquered death—Sunday will come. In the darkness of our sorrow, Sunday will come.

No matter our desperation, no matter our grief, Sunday will come. In this life or the next, Sunday will come... No matter how dark our Friday, Sunday will come."

These words speak to me so much because there are many weeks where I'm just praying to make it to Sunday. The spirit I feel when I partake of the sacrament and renew my covenants fills in the cracks that always creep in during the week. And that's life, you know? I think we have Sundays to remind us of that greatest Sunday of all when our Savior was resurrected and the Atonement was complete, and because of that we can be healed and put back together when we have those dark times.

Heaven Is Cheering You On! - free LDS coloring page

Hello, friends! This week's coloring page comes from an absolutely marvelous talk from Jeffrey R. Holland called "Tomorrow the Lord Will Do Wonders Among You." It is all about looking to the future with hope instead of fear, and about the love our Heavenly Father has for us. If you need a little encouragement today, please take a few minutes to go read it - I promise it will lift your heart! Here's just one of my favorite parts:

"If we give our heart to God, if we love the Lord Jesus Christ, if we do the best we can to live the gospel, then tomorrow—and every other day—is ultimately going to be magnificent, even if we don’t always recognize it as such. Why? Because our Heavenly Father wants it to be! He wants to bless us. A rewarding, abundant, and eternal life is the very object of His merciful plan for His children! It is a plan predicated on the truth “that all things work together for good to them that love God.” So keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever."

We are so loved, and we are never alone in the struggles we face. Such a joyful truth!
