The advisory will do anything to tear families apart! There is nothing more threatening and wholesome to Satan then the family unit itself. For with a strong family surrounding any individual, that individual has the strength to withstand most trials. Any way he can tear the family apart, he will do so, and with pleasure.One of the biggest tools the Advisory uses and has against the family is the silent and powerful process of thought. Yes our thoughts is the very beginning of all actions, thoughts are the process in the middle that pushes our actions forward and thoughts are the ending decisions that close our minds around any idea that is formed and believed, which controls our actions.
By thoughts alone we can either save or destroy a family member and our relationship.
For the last few months it was my thoughts that the advisory attacked. It was my decision to dwell on the thoughts or to push them aside and it was my actions that solidified my thoughts. To much of my dismay and horror I chose to listen to, and act upon a lot of harmful thoughts aimed toward my family. I would like to acknowledge that gratefully I never let it get past the second stage of harmful thought process. Even in that phase though.. I unknowingly distanced my- self from family members, I harbored ill feelings, I even begin to believe what my thoughts were to the point of forming an ill opinion of these certain family members. Even if my thoughts were founded on any bases of truth, I have learned it is not my right to not love completely each and every family member to my fullest, just because I don't agree or like they way their lives are lived.
Wilford Woodruff explains this to the up most perfection, and as I read it yesterday a overwhelming since of peace came over me. His words are as follows,
"Fault finding. I want to say to the brethren and the to the sisters, let us cease finding fault one with another; let us not say that this man or this woman does wrong, this family does wrong, this person or the other sets a bad example; let us realize that we ourselves are held responsible for what we do.
It will do me no good if I apostatize because somebody's family follows the fashions of Babylon, or because some man or woman or some set of men and women do wrong. Let us cease this kind of work, and all of us look to ourselves. It will do me no good if I apostatize because I think someone else does not do right. We should lay this aside. There is too much of it in the Zion of God today, and has been a good while, finding fault with this, that, and the other, instead of looking at home.
Let us all look at home, and each one try to govern his own family and set his own house in order, and do that which is required of us, realizing that each one is held responsible before the Lord for his or her individual actions only." The Discourses of Wilford Woodruff.
When my husband handed me this passage to read, I knew where my faults were... I was being to preoccupied with everyone else and what their faults were. How they have hurt and offended me. How their actions pained and frustrated me. When in the end, all I need and should do is love them for all that they are, and just work on me and my small family. As this thought came to my mind, and I chose to act upon it, for the first time in months, I felt as if I could breath.
So lets not let the Advisory win... Lets not let him put these thoughts in our mind and than convince us we should act upon them. PUT ASIDE THE NEGATIVE AND EMBRACE CHRIST! In the words of Wilford Woodruff, "It will do me no good if I apostatize because I think someone else does not do right."

Deep Connections...
Driving home late last night, doing everything I can think of to stay awake, so I didn't drive off the road. I talked to my Father in Heaven. I was leaving behind a man and a woman who just were sealed together for all time and eternity. The union they now share and have blessed so many with, will not only give them great peace but heal a lot of souls for generations to come. A lot of healing took place just with the actually wedding and reception. It brought a lot of people together that have been trying to avoid each other for some time. And knowing of the stress they were causing the groom and bride, everyone came and had an experience of their own, but over all it was very pleasant.
I personally had a lot of preparing in order to come to this Wedding and feel at peace. In return to all my preparing I had a good time. I learned so much during the process that came before the wedding that came to pass as events unfolded. Some of what I have learned is a personal process and how I can mentally changes things, and the other huge part is family and their part in my life, and how well planned out the Savior has given us Families.
With my own personal progression, life and family relationships are as I take them to be. Hence also what I make them to be. Through visualization and the guidance of the Holy Ghost to know the true nature of things, instead of how I perceive things with in my own mind. And the ability to let what others may think about me effect me. I was able to see the good positive side of how things really were. I saw hurt where unexpected, love in place most definitely unexpected from some, and the role of each individual come forth.
This is where the blessings of the spiritual side came in, and the wholeness it has come. As I was in the sealing room looking at the couple to be, and listening the words the blessed sealer( my Grandfather} had to say I felt such in tune passion of family once more. How great the blessing of it was, how we are all connected to each other, how each new sealing more and more healing begins, especially when the couple is faithful and endures to the end! Family is the greatest joy given to man, and it is also at times followed with trials and hardships, which is what family is. I have often said that wasn't hard it wouldn't be worth it. This weekend I was driving home and trying to say awake, I talked to God on this matter. He informed me of a deeper understanding of why that is so,
Families, by being a family, have a deep connection to one another, no matter how much one family member to the next would like it. Because of this gift of an deep connection, between each member, no matter where we head in life we will always have a bond between us. This is also why each family member made a promise to one another in one form or another. Whither it be a lesson to learn or a shoulder to lean on, we are there through and through, and we must learn how to have an eternal family in order to be at peace with everything.
How blessed I am to have such a great family to be so connected with.

Family...The best/hardest thing to ever behold!
Learning to deal with family, no matter what the relation, is a lot of work and not always easy. With some relations it goes as easy as spreading soft butter on toast. with others it is like putting a Ice block that weighs a ton into a small cup.... eventually it will fit and work out, but the time and process to get there... seems like an eternity and takes a lot of patience. Some might even ask if it is even worth the wait.. I say you wouldn't know unless you do so.
I have often dealt with the block of ice type of relationship more than the soft butter kind. I know how frustrating it is to see no results or very little results after a lot of work ( you have felt you have done). Many times I have thought of how easy it would be chuck aside the block and drink what I have in my cup and call it good. How easy would that be! But that is not the point and that is not why God sent us family members that were this way so that we can learn.... Learn during the process, understanding while get closer to working, and endless amount of love the comes from it all.
SO... PLEASE ...Dear Father in Heaven... GIVE ME PATIENCE! Cause right now I am struggling with some of those block of ice's.

Question anwered, just to ask another one...
I have taken a personal journey of my very own. This journey ( in my eyes) was one of the hardest I have ever taken. I took the journey is of self healing and family relationships. I started the journey unknowingly, to end up searching for the right paths and footing to take along the way. Though I know and feel that this journey will never fully be over with, I look forward to taking each new step, daily.
A blog or two ago I stated what it takes to have eternal love you must have an eternal family. An answer that I have only excepted over time, but to have fully embraced this answer I had to ask another question first. How on earth do I even go about having an eternal family when ( at the time I asked this question}my family is in such shambles that half of us didn't even want to talk to each other... let alone have an eternal bondage? How is any of this even possible?
Trust me the beginning stages of this journey along with a lot in the middle and the continued steps that follow, a lot of pain and discouragement comes about. But so does more happiness and love than even seen possible. Luckily I had allies along the journey that gave me strength and the knowledge to continue onward. These allies were found in my family members who wanted the same things a I did, and in my own little family lead by Brandon. I embarked on asking my family around me, talking to them about how they would like our relationship to be. On one side of the family I was surprised and comforted to learn that all of us felt that we could do more to better each of relationship and were willing to work toward it. On the other side of the family a lot of different emotions came about. The emotions that are expressed were, " I am sick of even talking about our family let alone trying to heal it." Needless to say, much harder to work with, so I thought.
As I began to work with my families, and partook the beginning steps to healing, the one side of the family that was willing and wanting to change proved to be harder to do so, while the other family already had a lot of the steps in play. I also learned the healing process is not very easy depending on how connected you are. My side of the family ( the family I grew up with) was extremely hard to even take the step let alone even began walking down the trail. I had to come to a hard realization that is was me who need to find that path first before I showed it to anyone else. I need to deal with myself first, before I could heal anything..
So once I answered the question of what to do, and learned that if was followed by another question of how, the answer I now have received is " you must start with yourself, or nothing will ever get accomplished."

Proud to call my own...
When most think about their families almost always they think of the one person that hurts them the most within that family. I have lived through a lot of family issues and can honestly say Family is never easy. For this reason alone I have chosen a fight to fight for. I fight for the strength and healing we gain from our families, even through all of the hurt.
How many times have I been hurt by a loved one, how many times I have wanted to run away and pretend that the only family I have is my little family growing around me. But luckily I have been shown wisdom, and truth in working out my issues and love unconditionally with those that it comes less easyily. Many times I have asked why Lord, why was I put in this family. I have asked how come I am so different, so "not from this family". The answers that come are not answers I like to hear.
Often I am chastised for not realizing the beauty of these people around me, even more often I am scolded with the reminder that I chose these beings to be in my life and agreed to be in theirs.The final thought comes from Sheri Dew...." If it were to be easy, than it wouldn't be worth it."
If all of this is true I think... Than my family most certainly must be worth it. lol
In all reality I have learned many wonderful lessons from my family. As I have prayed and allowed my heart to become whole. As I have grasp understanding from forgiveness, love and respect. I see how glorious it is to be in a family. How like the Proclamation to the world states, " The family is ordained of God". That God has orchestrated such a beautiful plan to put us in family unites, to have a righteous matriarch and patriarch lead and guide the way for all the children to come. How healing and inpsiring it is to have such.
The best part is knowing that even if you were not blessed with such Parents, that you can heal them and your self by going forth and doing what the lord has asked of you. By taking the stand and shining forth of how a family should be.. You can heal generations in the past and future. For I believe that there is nothing stronger than a whole and strong family.
Families are meant to be the strongest force upon this earth. And for this reason alone Families are the most attacked on all levels. My hope and dream is to have the idea of Families awakened. To have the world covered with strong families united and standing firm on all things in Christ. For I believe this is the design God originally had in store.

What it takes to have eternal love....
I have pondered this question, for quite some time now... The answers I have received have shocked me and inspired for the better, in more ways than one. Some may not want to hear what the answer is, some may not understand why the answer would even make since, but I hope to explain it and help all those to know the answer that have come to me, is the truth.
To have eternal love we must have an eternal family.
Yes Family is the answer. It starts with a strong mother and father, which is also a strong husband and wife. With this foundation not only can there be eternal love in their life but it will grow to their posterity as well. A strong foundation of the family ironically enough, takes a family to build it. At first I felt that Husband and Wife were the only keys, but in all reality for that one husband and wife it goes back for them and also goes onward . They need family on all sides to teach and guide them to create their own firm brick of the foundation.
For example... Brandon and I can only be as whole as we allow our cores to be. We have it in our duty to God and our future generations to heal ourselves were wrongs have been done in the past. To create and have whole and healthy life for our kid,s so that our onward generations can have a jump start on gaining the right building blocks to create their worlds. As for our past, we need to heal and find the leaks that may or not have been created by those before us, so that we can go forth and hand our children a solid brick to gain from instead of only passing on crumbles.
I have also learned that children( In the wise and blessed tender years of innocence) are there to inspire and guide us and parents for the better. If it were not for my children many lessons would have gone un-learned, and many blessing would have been denied. This may sound weird but, my children are a major source of my understanding. As I raise them and teach them in the ways of the lord, and try my hardest to make sure that their cores are solid and un-broken, I learn of where my core needs filling, and where I can be healed. If it were not for their sweet laughs and the endless amount of love that fills my soul ever day I would not understand what it takes to Love others, my self, and my spouse endlessly. IF it were not for my spouse raising my children right along side me,I would not learn what I am lacking as parent as I see how well he takes care of the situation. CHILDREN are needed, Just as much as they are wanted. With out them the future would not have bricks to build with.
In this day and age every thing that has to do with family is looked upon with negative out look by most of the world. Getting married, having kids, wanting to spend time with your family, all of it is a crazy notion. more and more of it, is wrong. I guess I should say that those things per say aren't looked down upon, but if done too soon, or with too many or to often, then the notion starts. THE TRUE FAMILY LIFE IS BEING WEEDED OUT AND WITH OUT A FIGHT!
No longer will sit by and let this happen... WE NEED ETERNAL FAMILIES! WE NEED LOVE THAT LAST THROUGH THE ETERNITIES! Neither one is possible with out the other. I will fight for this cause because no one will be whole with out it. I will fight for this cause, Because It is what the Lord has set up and what he has divinely planned for us all!
This is what it takes, this is the answer... and I feel if you will search in your souls you will all know of the truthfulness as well. JOIN ME IN THIS FIGHT! FAMILIES are way to sacred to be disregarded any more!
Love and passion from a voice no longer quite!
