God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

Send us a textAs women, we are constantly told that our worth is tied to how we look, leaving us disconnected from the divine purpose of our bodies. But what if, instead of fighting against our bodies, we learned to partner with them?

We'll explore how intentional use of agency can help us reclaim  wholeness. Show Notes:"Decisions for Eternity" President Russell M.

Nelson: "The only way to take sorrow out of death is to take love out of life." ("Doors of Death" April 1992)President Russell M. Nelson: “My dear brothers and sisters, I promise that as you prayerfully study the Book of Mormon every day, you will make better decisions—every day. I promise that as you ponder what you study, the windows of heaven will open, and you will receive answers to your own questions and direction for your own life. I promise that as you daily immerse yourself in the Book of Mormon, you can be immunized against the evils of the day, even the gripping plague of pornography and other mind-numbing addictions” (“The Book of Mormon: What Would Your Life Be Like without It?” Ensign or Liahona, Nov. 2017,Elder Neal A. Maxwell “The submission of one's will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God's altar.

Talk Mentioned: "Come What May, and Love It" Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin, General Conference October 2008"Whenever my steps led through seasons of sadness and sorrow, my mother's words often came back to me: “Come what may, and love it.”How can we love days that are filled with sorrow? We can't—at least not in the moment. I don't think my mother was suggesting that we suppress discouragement or deny the reality of pain. I don't think she was suggesting that we smother unpleasant truths beneath a cloak of pretended happiness. But I do believe that the way we react to adversity can be a major factor in how happy and successful we can be in life.If we approach adversities wisely, our hardest times can be times of greatest growth, which in turn can lead toward times of greatest happiness."

Ever wondered how the simple act of serving others could fill your life with profound love and joy? This is the intriguing question we explore in episode 108 of the Latter-day Ladies podcast. Guided by the wisdom of Elder M Russell Ballard's engaging story of a young merchant and an old prospector, we dive into the beauty of accumulating acts of love and kindness. We share insights on how prayer can foster charity in our hearts, and discuss how our bond with God deepens through experiences and obedience. We ponder upon the essence of the two greatest commandments - to love God and our fellow beings, and how this translates to serving others, and thus, serving Him.Our conversation further unfolds around the transformative power of practicing Christ-like service. We discuss how being mindful and deliberate in our service can shift our perspectives towards a more Christ-centered viewpoint. The significance of small acts of kindness is highlighted, emphasizing how these seemingly minimal gestures can make a significant difference. We firmly believe that our expressions of love towards each other are essentially expressions of love towards God.
