Welcome! This is post 1. To kick off this blog, here’s a bit about me and the purpose of this blog! I’m Christina and I’m a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. That being said, I am in no way an official representative of the church, so don’t take what I […]
Making Changes With God’s Help
Are you ever frustrated with the progress, or rather, lack of progress you make in your life? It’s tiring sometimes to look at the things you know you need to fix in your life and realize that you’ve been working on them for a long time – only to find that you’ve hardly improved. Those […]
No One Gets a Free Pass From Judgment
I’ve talked a lot on this blog about how we aren’t perfect beings. We’re human, we mess up, that’s life, and that’s why Christ did the Atonement. We can make mistakes, learn from them, and become better than we were. But now I want to make sure that something is clear – when I say […]

Christ’s Sacrifice and Ours
I don’t know about you, but I am really good at thinking about all the ways I need to change to be a better person. All the things I am bad at, or mess up, or quit. These things pile up in my head, and it can be pretty hard to get rid of them. […]
