Warrior with Linda Winegar

Funny thing, read a quote from Elder Holland post-Barbie movie that hilariously linked to this scene in the film, remember? Those Ken dolls battling on the beach? Blonde Ken gets hit by waves, and Black Haired Ken teases. Like a "beach off" moment, right? Elder Holland's quote back in '09 nailed it about not digging up old stuff to toss at each other. He spoke of a a real-life "beach off," but we're aiming for kindness, not mess! You might wonder why I keep talking about my Betrayal Trauma, here's the scoop. Scriptures talk Christ for our kids' sake, right? He's more than sin-help; He's my healing source. Battling trauma, anxiety, you name it, I have learned that Christ's got me safely in HIs arms. Through Him, I'm thriving, forgiving, feeling joy. Trauma's part of my journey, strengthening faith, like Peter said – trials more precious than gold! My life's all about growing toward Christ. No "Beach Offs," just sharing my journey. I'm on Team Healing, helping other Barbies find light too. So, no, not starting a "Beach Off," just sharing how I met my Creator. I'm here to guide fellow Barbies through their healing. Trauma happened TO us, but it's FOR our growth. If you're stuck like I was, join my 5-Day CRUSH Course.

You all know how much I love Superhero Movies! Piezoelectric Effect is the ability of certain materials to generate an electric charge in response to applied mechanical stress. The word Piezoelectric is derived from the Greek piezein, which means to squeeze or press, and piezo, which is Greek for “push”. Do you ever feel this way? Pushed around, pressed down on and like life is being sqeezed out of you? Have a listen! I think this can help. Also review Episodes 2 and 51 . What is that H before the Episode Number?

Learned this concept from the podcast Talking Scriptures with Mike and Bryce. I am grateful for their help in adding more light to this so I can see a little more clearly. Turning on the light isn't always as simple as flipping a switch, listen to see what we can learn from the Prophet Joseph Smith Jr and how he controlled the darkness. If he can do it, so can we! He was just 14 and not a baptized member of any church at the time. What is that C before the Episode Number? Learn more about the C.R.U.S.H. Framework & C.R.U.S.H.

Pres. Russell M Nelson says “We have never needed positive spiritual momentum more than we do now, to counteract the speed with which evil and the darker signs of times are intensifying.” Pres Nelson gives us 5 Ways to Maintain Positive Spiritual Momentum Get on the covenant path & stay there. Discover the joy of daily repentance. Learn about God & how He works. Seek & expect miracles. End conflict in your life. Satan's tactics can be scary but the Lord can help get us through those twists and turns quickly. Sometimes getting your coaster to climb higher for more "momentum" or speed could be studying scriptures differently or praying with real intent or serving without complaining.

As a Fidjiti entrepreneur I love the thrill of starting new businesses. It gets me fired up! Because of this ADHD method of entrepreneurship we have been able to create multiple streams of income. From my Etsy shop, my app, to our rental and more, we have been blessed to never experience what we went through when Our oldest was born over 12 yrs ago, which was unemployment and no insurance or ways to pay for our newborn baby who just got out of the hospital just days before. Just like we have set up multiple ways to earn income to take care of our temporal needs we can create and organize multiple streams of income for our spiritual needs. What I will call - Multiple Streams of Inspiration or Multiple Streams of Revelation. What is that C before the Episode Number? Learn more about the C.R.U.S.H.

Are you the kind of person who does the trash talking when playing sports or games or are you the person who gets trash talked to? Can you guess which one I am? Mahatma Ghandi said “Man often becomes what he believes himself to be. If I keep on saying to myself that I cannot do a certain thing, it is possible that I may end by really becoming incapable of doing it. On the contrary, if I shall have the belief that I can do it, I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it, even if I may not have it at the beginning.” Satan is the most experienced and most successful trash talker!

In December of 2010 there was a fire that destroyed the old Provo Tabernacle. The fire caused an estimated $15 million in damage. The tabernacle was one of the oldest buildings in Utah. The Church started construction in 1883 and took 15 years to complete it. It was listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. After the fire, the only thing barely standing were the 4 outer walls. Time travel back to today and I still can't believe that I am inside this old burned up tabernacle turned holy temple, house of the Lord. It's a reminder to me that the Lord can work miracles in our lives, He can rebuild us if we let Him. He gives us so many chances, and He can make us better today than we were yesterday. He can make us Holy. He still blessed all of the families in the scriptures and they are dysfunctional so He will continue to bless us too. If we let Him, He can turn our trials into triumphs, our pain into purpose and our hiccups into healing. The next time satan tries to torture you with the obvious, that you are not perfect or with the lie that the Lord doesn't bless dysfunctional families, you throw those bible stories back at him and remember what Elder Holland says: “If for a while the harder you try, the harder it gets, take heart. So it has been with the best people who ever lived.” and he also encourages us with "...keep loving. Keep trying. Keep trusting. Keep believing. Keep growing. Heaven is cheering you on today, tomorrow, and forever." What is that C before the Episode Number? Learn more about the C.R.U.S.H.

It's a blizzard out there! Everyone is talking about how bad the weather is especially satan, but we can't let that stop us from getting out there. If we believe Satan's lies about how scary it is, we will miss how amazing life can be. We can only get so far and experience so much inside our comfort zone, get out there and see what you can do. Do that hard thing. Go out there and find out what you are capable of, you'll surprise yourself! And when you do, it will propel you to new heights. C.R.U.S.H.

I am loving Noah's experience of co-building and co-creating the Ark with the Lord! Something I didn't realize with Noah and the Ark, is that the Lord accounted for tons of peeps to fit in there with so many rooms and floors! But only 8 total peeps got on the ark (that is sad), plus animals. Why? Pres. Nelson has said “As you parents create experiences where your children can learn to feel the Spirit of the Lord — that is gathering Israel. “As you help to strengthen the testimonies of others; as you repent and help others to repent; as you reach out in your communities and participate in worthy efforts to alleviate suffering — that is gathering Israel.” Noah gathered Israel in the way the Lord inspired him to, in a way that the Lord knew Noah could. And we can gather Israel in the way that only we can with the Lord's help. Heed those promptings. C.R.U.S.H. Framework H = Hasten to Heed. Hasten to heed the Lord's promptings, just do it because we will be blessed for it and our healing can reach new levels as we are partnering with Christ to do those things that are hard and that we have felt we need to do.

Do you own the game Spot It? Negative self-talk is any inner dialogue that seems like it's coming from yourself but is really coming from satan because he can whisper anything to us and feed it to us in our own voice. He says things that may be limiting your thoughts to believe in yourself and your own abilities, and to reach your potential. It's bad because once you internalize it and say it to yourself, that diminishes your ability to make positive changes in your life or your confidence in yourself to do so. So negative self-talk can not only be stressful, but it can really stunt your progress. Research has shown that positive self-talk is a great predictor of success. Which means if we can push past our loud and obnoxious bully satan, we could SPOT the whisperings of the Holy Ghost more clearly and be able to hear things as they really are. But we can't SPOT IT if we don't recognize the words from the Holy Ghost. How can we recognize those words? We recite them, we practice them, we post them up, we say them to each other so that when satan throws them our way we will see things as they really are. If we don't know the words we're looking for we won't recognize or SPOT them when they come from heaven. Let's engage in the things that will help to remind us who we are and who's we are. C.R.U.S.H.

Have you ever taken the time to notice the difference between when the Holy Ghost talks to you and when Satan talks to you? God made everything with just using His words. So the adversary knows that words are a powerful tool to create what we desire or subconsciously create what we don't desire in our lives and for others and uses words strategically against us to instill doubt in who we are and what we are capable of which make us feel all the negative things. "Things get difficult for all of us but the people who turn back, approach the endeavor with an attitude that is usually along the lines of: “I'm not sure about this yet” “I'm not sure this is the right job” “I'm not sure that they are the right person” “I'm not sure I have the right skills” “I'm not sure this is the right time” Because of that doubt they plague themselves with the question, “Should I?” Should I keep going” Should I try to make this work? Should I look at something else? Should I leave this position? Should I get a new job?" "They run around asking, Should should should should should, so much that they turn into what I like to call “a should head.” LOL RIGHT? I have totally been a should head and I can see this more when he puts it that way." - RORY VADENWW He then says “There will never be the perfect situation to get us to where we need to get us to where we want to go. Elder Holland says, “Troubles we all have, but the "germ" of discouragement, to use Fitzgerald's word, is not in the trouble, it is in us. Or to be more precise, I believe it is in Satan, the Prince of Darkness, the Father of Lies. And he would have it be in us. It's frequently a small germ, hardly worth going to the Health Center for, but it will work and it will grow and it will spread. In fact it can become almost a habit, a way of living and thinking, and there the greatest damage is done. Then it takes an increasingly severe toll on our spirit, for it erodes the deepest religious commitments we can make-those of faith, and hope, and charity. We turn inward and look downward, and these greatest of Christlike virtues are damaged or at very least impaired.” - Elder Holland - BYU Speeches March 1980 Bro Vaden then says that “we don't realize that by having the neutral attitude of “im not sure” we're continually giving up on ourselves.” Um…yeah that's not cool, Satan is convincing me to give up on myself?

Have you ever watched a real wrestling match? What do you notice? I needed to get off my high horse or let go of my pride, of holding onto being a victim, so that I could come down and place my hurt and my worry and my sorrows at my Savior's feet. I was holding on so tightly because it had been a part of me so long, that I didn't know how to pry it out of my fingers. This was my wrestle before the Lord, before I decided to allow Him to heal all of me. What Satan doesn't tell us is that as we work with the Lord to do hard things (laying our hurt and our hangups at His feet), He helps us with our anxiety and our emotions or where we are “weaker,” to make them stronger. Satan doesn't want us to have a relationship with the Savior, because once you know His light and love and strength, he knows you won't go back. We will rely on the Savior even more. So let's humble ourselves get off our high horses, pray and wrestle so hard like Enos did and then get to work like Noah so we can build that gigantic impossible ark like thing that the Lord has asked of us, because deep down we know that will bring us the most satisfaction and joy like we haven't felt in like a million years and will take us to our promised land.

It builds confidence in ourselves as we do those things the Lord prompts us to do for ourselves or for others, because in the process we learn more about who we are and what we are capable of.

Dale Carinegie who wrote How to Win Friends and Influence People said, “Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer your fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.” Yearly Habit Trackers If we get discouraged, and we will, remember what President Monson said, “When performance is measured, performance improves. When performance is measured and reported, the rate of improvement accelerates” (#GeneralConference Oct. 1970) Make a chart, or use a calendar to mark off your progress and keep it, so that the next time the adversary wants to tell you how bad you are at keeping goals you can have some ammo to fight back or shield off those lies with your practice DATA. You can prove to yourself that you know how to keep goals even if they aren't perfect because we are making progress. “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” - James Clear the author of Atomic Habits. Setup some systems and practice those small things in order to have great things happen in your life. What does the "S" Mean? S = Sharpen the Sword. This means practice, practice, practice, using those weapons in our safe circles of people, but it might still require getting a bit vulnerable and outside of our comfort zones but this is where we can strengthen those relationships with the ones we already love in safe and lasting ways while still getting our practice in and building the data we need.

Find out how I plan and record the episodes. Some Gems: One of my mentors Seth Godin says: "Sometimes, we mistakenly believe that we're building something that takes time, but what we're actually doing is hiding. We stall and digress and cause distractions, not because the work needs us to, but because we're afraid to ship.” (and of course he says "we" cause distractions but we know who the culprit is distracting us ALL THE TIME. Not us.) So we just need to ship it! Bro Brad Wilcox so eloquently puts it: “We don't pray because we're worthy. We pray because we need help. We don't go to the temple because we've made it, but because God is making us better there. We are not earning a treasure in heaven, but learning to treasure heavenly things.” We don't have to prove anything to the Lord, He knows us and our capacities, we are the ones that need to learn and remember who we are and what we are capable of. So just go and do it, so you'll know that you can do it too. Go to LindaWinegar.com to get my FREE Gift just for you, women who have experiences this Betrayal Trauma like I have.

In the book The Wealthy Gardener, John Soforic says “We can ignore a lot of things but we can't ignore our ambition. When we deny our desires our ambition becomes agitation.” I love Jesus Christ and desire to bless others like Him, because I have felt his love and want to share, so when He gave me the opp and I didn't take it, my soul felt agitation real pain!

Brené Brown says, “You can choose courage or you can choose comfort but you can't have both.” Mel Robbins has come up with a BRILLIANT rule and an additional tool or weapon we can use against the resistance we feel after we decide we want to pursue something awesome, which I briefly mentioned in Episode 9. It's counting down when you get a prompting or idea to do something meaningful like a goal or a commitment. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and then just "GO & DO" like Nephi and like Enoch in 5 seconds! Mel also says, “Courage is the ability to do things that feel difficult, scary or uncertain. That is the true power of courage; it reveals you. The greatest version of you.” This builds your confidence. If you have low self esteem, go and do something hard and courageous.

Today is the last day to sign up for my 5 Day C.R.U.S.H. Course (Day 1 is already available) where we will learn to accelerate our healing after betrayal and free us from the torture and fight back using the power of our gifts. Go to - LindaWinegar.com! How do you know what lights you up? How do you know what is your passion or your purpose and what it is you need to work hard on? You might not be in a space where you can even think about that. So if that is the case, then I invite you to save this episode for later and revisit it and do the exercise then. I will present these questions for you to just save in your heart until you're ready, and when you are, then just come back to them and you can do this exercise then. Here are 5 questions to ask yourself, well there are a whole lot but I would boil them down to these: What are some of your gifts from God? like serving, teaching, encouraging, leading, giving, showing mercy. What are some passions, dreams, ambitions and desires? What do you love? What do you care about? What are some of your natural talents and abilities you were born with? God wants you to use those natural gifts and tendencies that you already know how to do. What is your personality? It will affect how and where you use your gifts and abilities. This is where you'll use your gifts in different ways than anyone else. Experiences teach you lessons that help you grow and develop and become a better person if you let it. You never know when your story will be someone else's survival guide. Bonus Question: What from the above questions do others see in you and have others needed from you? This just reinforces some of them, like giving you a second vote. What's up with the Letter and Episode numbers?

This episode is straight FIRE! Want to know what it takes to make these episodes? I spill the beans! Let's start with this reminder, “You often feel tired, not because you've done too much, but because you've done too little of what sparks a light in you.” - by ALEXANDER DEN HEIJER in a book titled - “Nothing you don't already know” Where does that light come from? We know that Jesus Christ is the Light of the World. Elder Jeffrey R Holland puts it so perfectly, “when those majestic forces from His heart and ours meet without restraint, there is a veritable explosion of spiritual, moral power. Then, as Pierre Teilhard de Chardin wrote, “for [the] second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire.” What's up with the Letter and Episode numbers?

We are Spiderman fans! I use Spiderman's journey to help us see our journey is not much different. We love this from Pres Nelson - he says, “The Lord needs you to change the world. As you accept and follow His will for you, you will find yourself accomplishing the impossible.” I can easily apply this to Spiderman, but really, I know he is talking to us! Enoch chose to follow the Lord and put himself out there even though he felt a lot of insecurity about his abilities (Moses 6:31) and trusted in the Lord's ability to bless and help him in doing what he thought was impossible.

How does satan show up in your life? I give you some examples to remind you you're not alone and then share Moses's hack to getting rid of the adversary! Didn't even know it was a thing but Moses seems to outline it for us. Find it in the book of Moses 1:20 found in the Pearl of Great Price published by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Did you know in Moses 1:16-22, Moses tells Satan (the ultimate bully) to go away 4 separate times!?! Yeah I didn't realize it either. I wonder why the fact that he had to get him to leave 4 times was so important they included it in the scriptures for us. This must be significant! President Nelson has said this, you might recognize this truth in 2018, “In coming days, it will not be possible to survive spiritually without the guiding, directing, comforting, and constant influence of the Holy Ghost.” What's up with the Letters and Episode numbers?

C - Connect with Christ. There are 2 first lessons taught in the Pearl of Great Price, it is while working on his translation of the Bible in June 1830, that the Prophet Joseph Smith had a vision where he was shown an extraordinary experience that had been given to Moses (see Moses 1–8). Go read them, it's so great! Moses first learned he was a son of God (Moses 1:6) and then the first lesson Satan taught him was that he would try to deceive, trick and tempt him into forgetting who he really is. (Moses 1:12). Then both of those were shown to Joseph Smith so now that's 2 lessons inside a lesson from the Lord. Those are the same things we are dealing with now! The Lord is trying to remind us who we are and satan tries to trick us away from that truth. Satan will use all of his knowledge to trick us. President James E Faust, he said, “The devil is not smart because he is the devil; he is smart because he is old.” Have patience with yourself and know that the reason satan is attacking you is not because you are weak, but precisely because he knows who you are, but do you?

Wake up warrior, we can win our battles against satan and accelerate our healing! I unearthed the C.R.U.S.H. Framework work while in the process of my own healing journey after betrayal and need to share it with you. I have found accelerated healing through working this framework which is grounded in Christ, this NEW system called CRUSH. Following this CRUSH framework from Genesis 3:15, will help us to establish righteous routines, which will arm us with the power of the Lord Jesus Christ to fight back and will guide us to accelerated healing, growth and progress after betrayal trauma or anytime you implement it. Don't take my word for it, try it out. Are you ready? Listen and remember the framework! The C.R.U.S.H. Course will drop soon!

Have you ever seen or heard of a Molotov Cocktail? Not to be confused with a drink, this is a bottle that can be a bomb when made right with a lot of different ingredients. AKA gasoline bomb, bottle bomb, poor man's grenade. This is something I have been thinking about a lot and how it relates to us women who have been betrayed. Have a listen and find out how it can be a tool to get us unstuck!

During our good times we planned a family trip to Paris because we wanted to take advantage of a really great deal. But of course I later regretted it because now I was feeling the effects of another "lost battle" and just having a lot of attacks from the adversary and all I wanted to do was to be alone so I could focus more on my healing. There's always something else and because we cant control other people we don't want their actions to keep us from living our best life with your favorite people, our family.

I had therapists train me into creating safe places, just like they created safe places of security in the scriptures. Those safe places were perfect to help me heal and connect with Christ. Those places are my comfort zones and I love them so much! We were always talking about being "safe" vs "unsafe." However, this has gotten me thinking... can we really grow in our comfort zones? The Prophet Joseph Smith says, “for the enemy is on the alert” (D&C 127:11) but...are you on the alert?

Do you struggle going to the gym when you're on vacation? If we can identify who is speaking to us during each of our battles whether big or small, it will make it so much easier to defeat the adversary and overcome his 3 d's of Deception, Distraction and Discouragement. Let's see if I made it to the gym this time or not?

I would not present you with this seemingly impossible option of reporting to the Lord for duty, if I didn't know with 200% certainty that it would bless your life in so many ways. You might be thinking, how can we possibly serve when we are feeling like this? I can barely get out of bed or even brush my teeth. I KNOW THAT FEELING SO WELL! When we are facing the literal jaws of hell it's easy to feel defeated. Elder Neil L. Andersen said, "The wounded who nurse the wounds of others are God's angels on the earth." And through this whole process of healing and recovery we have been nursed by many wounded warrior angels who put themselves out there to serve us when they were broken too. I'll end with this from Elder M. Russell Ballard - “Between now and the day the Lord comes again, He needs women in every family, in every ward, in every community, in every nation who will step forward in righteousness and say by their words and their actions, ‘Here am I, send me.' “My question is, ‘Will you be one of those women?'”

Before we report for duty, let's first observe the signs of places where we might be needed! I'm sure you've noticed there are so many “help wanted” signs right now around your town because everyone is hiring! In a talk from sis Linda K Burton she said: "Imagine with me some of the possible spiritual “help wanted” signs related to the work of salvation: Help wanted: parents to bring up their children in light and truth Help wanted: daughters and sons, sisters and brothers, aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents, and true friends to serve as mentors and offer helping hands along the covenant path Help wanted: those who listen to the promptings of the Holy Ghost and act on impressions received Help wanted: those who live the gospel daily in small and simple ways Help wanted: family history and temple workers to link families eternally Help wanted: missionaries and members to spread the “good news”—the gospel of Jesus Christ Help wanted: rescuers to find those who have lost their way Help wanted: covenant keepers to stand firm for truth and right Help wanted: true disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ As true disciples, may we offer our willing hearts and our helping hands to hasten His work.” Prayer, Scripture Study and Temple Attendance are just the first steps to healing and Connecting with Christ but as we connect we can then be in a place to #hearHim calling us to act on what we are learning. When the Lord calls, do it! YES, it's so hard sometimes, but when we don't act there is a disconnect. Bishop L Todd Budge said, “Something is made holy—whether it be our lives, our possessions, our time, or our talents—not simply by giving it up but rather by consecrating it to the Lord….Sacrifice is less about GIVING UP and more about GIVING TO the Lord.”

Elder Ronald A Rasband in a 2003 Ensign Article he said, “The Lord made it clear that it is not good enough for us simply to return to Him the talents He has given us. We are to improve upon and add to our talents. He has promised that if we multiply our talents we will receive eternal joy. In modern revelation the Lord affirmed the principles in this parable: “But with some I am not well pleased, for … they hide the talent which I have given unto them, because of the fear of man. … Thou shalt not idle away thy time, neither shalt thou bury thy talent that it may not be known” (D&C 60:2, 13).” Here are The 4 Cans or CAN DOs that we can aim for when discovering & developing our talents and skills. THE FAVORITE CAN THE UGLY CAN THE SURPRISE CAN THE SHINY CAN Yesterday, we planned to spend time with a weapon we love, by hitting our "Favorite Can" but now, CAN we set aside sometime time this week to practice using one of the other weapons? Practice makes progress, progress makes us stronger and strength allows us the freedom to do more things, especially to heal.

Do you remember the in the Disney Movie, "Brave," when 3 clans will try to win Merida's hand by skill of archery? Elder Bruce R. McConkie (1915–85) of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles wrote: “Each person in this life is endowed with those talents and capacities which his pre-earth life entitle him to receive. Some by obedience to law acquired one talent and some another.” Challenge: Go back to the God given thing which you love so much, no matter what others say about it, there is a reason the Lord gave you THAT thing! I promise there is healing there waiting for you! Schedule at least 1 hour of your week or if you choose to be BRAVE (see what I did there;) schedule 1 hour a day this week to work on it or with one of those weapons you just love to use! Bro. Lewis Howes from the Book “the School of Greatness” says, “The key to happiness is really progress and growth and constantly working on yourself and developing something.”

A quote that reminds me to play big and get out there is Marianne Williamson's most famous passage, she says, “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world.” Let go of the lies the adversary keeps telling you which are holding you back. Unearth your God given weapons, we might need to dig deep to uncover our gifts, we can find them in the places you least expected, but for sure you can also find them in the routine and mundane places as well and get curious about others you want. Listen to the episode with the 99 God Given Weapons and write down the ones that resonate with you for some reason or another. #StrengthenOurSistersChallenge: Noticing a gift in others might be easier than noticing a gift in yourself. Thats ok, then do this for someone else instead and share the 99 Weapons Episode with them and let them do the same for you after you've given them their list. Have fun with this!

President Russell M Nelson says, “We all need to remember: men are that they might have joy—not guilt trips!” These are best used when you recite them out loud, you can do them during your morning routine or before bed or whenever you feel you need them. Even if you can't say them out loud at first that's ok just read them to yourself and then move onto reciting them out loud after a few tries. Here we go, listen for 24 Affirmations or Shielding Statements to Combat Mom Guilt! One of my favorite BYU Speeches is from a mental strength coach Bro. Craig L Manning, he says, “faith begins with how you talk to yourself.”

Now, I know I am not the only one that has had this experience, there are a lot of articles out there describing “mom guilt” from women who use their God given weapons from home or from work and even mom guilt from women who just want to take an hour to go to the gym. The guilt trips are always there! So the pattern here is not that I am actually neglecting my family but that the adversary doesn't like us using our God given weapons or improve ourselves in any way or help others, no matter where we are. So if he is gonna give us the same messages everywhere then it's not us, it's him! Elder Jeffrey R Holland has shared with us, he said: “Except in the case of His only perfect Begotten Son, imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with. That must be terribly frustrating to Him, but He deals with it. So should we.” So let's be kind and patient with ourselves no matter where we choose to use our weapons. And remember the only thing that matters is, “What thinks Christ of me?”

“deny not the gifts of God, for they are many; and they come from the same God. And there are different ways that these gifts are administered; but it is the same God who worketh all in all; and they are given by the manifestations of the Spirit of God unto men, to profit them.” - Moroni 10:8 Elder Bruce R McConkie tells us that the gifts of the spirit are “infinite in number and endless in their manifestations because God himself is infinite and endless, and because the needs of those who receive them are as numerous, varied, and different as there are people in the kingdom.” The adversary doesn't want us to discover our gifts because he knows they are the keys to strengthening our relationship with Christ but also in fighting back. I have compiled a list of 99 spiritual gifts or 99 God Given Weapons from Scriptures, Scripture Stories and inspired words from Leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but you can also reference your patriarchal blessing for specific gifts you have been given, this is to get you started, get you excited and get you thinking of your own gifts. Here we go, these are The Weapons of...

There are 3 ways I have found Satan can get us to forget our God given gifts. Satan can get us to forget our gifts by distracting us with other things, especially consumption of other people's gifts. (ironic huh?!) Satan can get us to disregard our gifts because they aren't new and shiny anymore, plus everyone can do it anyways. Right?! Satan can discourage us from using our gifts because he gets us to compare them to others, and then we feel less than. Why even try? “I honor women who are not mothers. They know that motherhood is but one of the realms of womankind. The virtue and intelligence of women are uniquely applicable to other realms as well...” - Russell M. Nelson - Woman “We need your strength, your conversion, your conviction, your ability to lead, your wisdom, and your voices.” - Russell M. Nelson - A Plea to my Sisters He knows something we don't know, we must really be capable of so much more than we can even imagine if he is speaking to us like that. :) I guess with raising 9 girls, he might know a little somethin' about helping girls and women to develop and discover who they really are and who they can become. I will end with this question from Elder Robert D Hales, “Are we seeking to find our gifts?”

Elder David A. Bendar says “It was the load. It was the load that provided the traction that enabled my friend to get unstuck, to get back on the road, to press forward, and to return to his family.” Similarly, as we carry a heavier load during challenging periods in our lives, it could provide the traction we need to get out of the closet and get unstuck to accelerate healing after betrayal. Elder Bednar then said “The unique burdens in each of our lives help us to rely upon the merits, mercy, and grace of the Holy Messiah (see 2 Nephi 2:8). I testify and promise the Savior will help us to bear up our burdens with ease (see Mosiah 24:15). As we are yoked with Him through sacred covenants and receive the enabling power of His Atonement in our lives, we increasingly will seek to understand and live according to His will. We also will pray for the strength to learn from, change, or accept our circumstances rather than praying relentlessly for God to change our circumstances according to our will. We will become agents who act rather than objects that are acted upon (see 2 Nephi 2:14). We will be blessed with spiritual traction.”

Something I was so grateful to have learned during group therapy sessions to help me “see things as they really are” is to use things called grounding techniques in a Trauma Kit. (look up grounding techniques, you won't regret it) Grounding tools and techniques can also be a distraction, to get us out of the stories the adversary is telling us and away from upsetting thoughts, memories, or feelings. Because grounding focuses on being present in the moment, grounding can also be considered mindfulness. Elder Sean Douglas, of the Seventy in this past General Conference taught that “doubt is replaced with faith as we build our foundation on Christ. Then, “when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, … it shall have no power … to drag [us] down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which [we] are built, which is a sure foundation.” These “grounding techniques” will need to be built on our "sure foundation," Jesus Christ in order to have healing powers. The Prophet of the Lord has been helping us to #hearHim? BECAUSE He says “Our Father knows that when we are surrounded by uncertainty and fear, what will help us the very most is to hear His Son.” The solution was creating trauma informed grounding kits for ourselves to engage our God given body's 5 senses. Listen to hear what you can include in your Trauma Kit.

After the D day in 2018 all I wanted to do was to leave. I wanted to move out and go somewhere else. My safe place was the Temple, I was going there so often I remember I was running away from my family to the temple. One day however, it was like the Lord was holding me back, I can remember that feeling so vividly, like it was yesterday. He was stopping me from coming to His house to be with Him, because He didn't want me to run away from my family. Although my place was not holy yet...I was reminded that... “Anywhere you are where the Spirit is present can be a holy place.” - Sis. Elaine S Dalton I decided I would invite Him to the gym and listen to General Conference talks, instead of the music the instructor pushed at me. Do you have a special sacred place in your home? a special place where you can connect with God on a regular basis to feel safe, heal and get stronger? Take time to create that safe place to connect with Christ.

We're back with the internet! I love this quote from Sis. Michelle Rosenthall - “Trauma creates change you DON'T choose. Healing is about creating change you DO choose.” How blessed we are to have a Captain Moroni in our day, his name is President Russell M Nelson, he knows the attacks we have been getting in our homes and families. In this last general conference, like Moroni, he has instructed us to fortify our foundations and create boundaries around our time with the Lord, that can help to strengthen us. He pleaded with us to “make time for the Lord! Make your own spiritual foundation firm and able to stand the test of time by doing those things that allow the Holy Ghost to be with you always.” To me this means, we need to create a boundary around our time with the Lord, similar to how the Nephites built fences on top of fences.

Silent Treatment to your advantage as Radio Silence. When we want to yell and we get "stuped up" (have a stupor of thought) or we choose not to yell, we are using emotional intelligence! In an Article in the Liahona it says - "It is possible that satan can at least determine our susceptibility to a particular temptation from our words and actions which reveal our thoughts." - Lawrence R Peterson Jr. Then Pres James E Faust has said, “He cannot know our thoughts unless we speak them.” This makes complete sense to me! in military operations, radio silence is usually a command issued from above, to prevent a signal from being intercepted by an enemy. Remember, Reacting is purely emotional, but responding is emotional intelligence! Use “radio silence” to your advantage over the adversary instead of voicing the fiery darts.

You don't need a man, unless you want one to help you with your goals! One of my goals that drives all my decisions is the option of immortality and eternal life in the highest kingdom of glory with the ones I love. YES!!!! It's more than ok for me to have goals that big and you can too! (I am not perfect and still think I can hit those goals because of Jesus) I have learned that when I die I will get the privilege and honor to live with my family, Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father forever and get some additional sweet perks or I can also cancel at anytime because the choice is mine. With this Betrayal I am more susceptible to the stories and lies the adversary throws at me, making this trauma experience feel even more intense! Satan has tried everything! Tell me if these 11 lies or stories he makes up sound familiar to you, maybe it's just me but I doubt it. James E Faust quoted shakespeare who wrote, '“The prince of darkness is a gentleman” (King Lear, act 3, sc. 4, line 143), and “the devil can cite Scripture for his purpose” (The Merchant of Venice, act 1, sc. 3, line 95). As the great deceiver, Lucifer has marvelous powers of deception."

"And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."(Genesis 3:15) By serving others with the power of my unique gifts, I build confidence in myself because I know I have with the Lord's help been able to CRUSH satan's head, because although he bruised or crushed my heal and makes it super uncomfortable to walk or fight, I can know that I have crushed his head by serving someone, because I served God! “God cheers on every runner, calling out that the race is against sin, not against each other.” - Elder Jeffrey R Holland

Have you ever spoken ill about someone and felt amazing or have you ever put someone else on a pedestal and felt awesome afterward? NOPE! I love this from Elder S. Gifford Nielsen - “...I detect a third, implied commandment: to love thyself. Have you ever thought of loving yourself as a commandment? Can we truly love God and love His children if we don't love ourselves?” Our Heavenly Father wants us to love ourselves—not to become prideful or self-centered, but to see ourselves as He sees us: we are His cherished children. When this truth sinks deep into our hearts, our love for God grows. ...The more we recognize our divine worth, the better we understand this divine truth: that God has sent us right here, right now, at this momentous time in history, so that we can do the greatest possible good with the talents and gifts we have. This is our time!" YES!!! 5 quick ways to lift our souls through loving ourselves. The beauty is, you don't need to wait for anyone else to start doing any of these things, I give you permission to do them all, YOU CAN BE YOUR OWN BEST FRIEND! Just imagine how that will feel.

What are the battles we fight outside in the world anyways? Because time doesn't stand still after D day, although it can feel like it, peeps eventually have to go back to the real world especially because we have chosen to keep our problems a secret so no one can show empathy for something we haven't shared with them. For time's sake, I am only going to share 3 places but focus on 1. But if you want me to talk about each one separately then shoot me a DM on instagram @LindaSWinegar and I'd love to help you process those scenarios. The Store The Pool The Church I didn't notice them as fiery darts or torture from the adversary at first, but I have been awakened remember? Which one had the most fiery darts for you? Remember “he maketh war with the saints of God, and encompasseth them round about.” (D&C 76:29)

Sometimes the storms and battles of life don't leave us standing, but leave us broken and immovable, not in the good way, but no one knows about those storms because they are not physical fights. President David O. McKay has learned that, ‘The greatest battle of life is fought within the silent chambers of your own soul.' President Spencer W Kimball assures us that, “The Lord does notice us, and he watches over us. But it is usually through another person that he meets our needs.” God didn't put us on earth by ourselves, that's why there are so many of us! We are meant to get through life with the help of our neighbors. Church News Report about Helping Hands during the aftermath of Hurricane Andrew in 1992.

6 more Warrior Women are allowing me to share their schedules, so here they are. Remember, satan is always going to show up to make us feel like we aren't enough & we don't do enough. President Nelson says “I plead with you today to counter the lure of the world by making time for the Lord in your life — each and every day.” If we can make time to be with the Lord, we will be able to shield off the adversary's deceit and discouragement every time!
