New Blog Under Construction!

Finding My Way... has been a thought in process for many weeks now and now I am doing it!
As life around us seems to get harder and harder, I wanted a place that I could feel like I was doing something to be better, to remember more, learn more and maybe even help someone in need.
This blog will be my studies of the gospel of Jesus Christ through much study, prayer and pondering. I hope to continue to study and feel like my foundation becomes stronger and my testimony grows.
I am sharing this blog for three reasons. One I want to share my feelings about my religion and how I feel about my Savior Jesus Christ, two I want to have a solid study habit that helps my testimony grow and putting it on a blog helps me share, but even more ask the opinions of my friends and three at the start of my new adventure (being a stay at home mom) I wanted and needed something I felt passionate about to work on and the more I thought the more the gospel came to mind.
The title of this blog, Finding My Way... Searching, Pondering, Praying and Serving my way to Christ (sub title coming soon) came through a cool experience.
As I discussed this blog with my husband I really wanted to find a name for the blog, a name with meaning for me. I kept talking about it and thinking about it and he told me "Pray about it." Well, this statement made me think, DO I KNOW HOW TO PRAY? We discussed this and I felt like I didn't know how to pray as well as I would want to know, so I started to read and think and one morning I prayed. I really prayed to my Heavenly Father and I put my heart into it and told Him my desires of this blog and my endeavors and how I needed a name. After I prayed and pondered for a moment this name came to me, clear as day and it was the name I was searching for.
I hope as you follow this blog that you feel the Spirit and maybe learn something, not necessarily because I taught you something, but because the Spirit touches you to learn and grow. I hope that this blog can be a place of peace and aid to you in your life. I am in no means an eloquent writer or even a good writer at that, but I will try my hardest and through prayer a lot of prayer I hope this will help at least one person.
If I could, I'll end with a scripture:
2 Nephi 2:7-9
For the Lord God WILL help me, therefore shall I not be confounded. Therefore have I set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.
And the Lord is near, and he justifieth me. Who will contend me? Let us stand together. Who is mine adversary? Let him come near me, and I will smite him with the strentght of my mouth.
For the Lord God WILL help me...
