💥Weathering the Storm of Change💥

When you start to make a real shift in your life, don’t be surprised when the adversary comes in loud. He’ll twist your healing. He’ll call you a victim for choosing out of chaos. He’ll try to shame you for walking away from what’s hurting you.

And he won’t stop there.
He’ll tell you that you’re bad.
That it’s not worth it.
That you’re not worth it.
That you’re not good enough to change.
That you’re not even worthy of peace.

But here’s the truth.
Choosing out of something chaotic is not weakness. It is courage. It is clarity. It is you honoring the Spirit inside you that knows you were created for something steadier, kinder, and holier than the storms you’ve survived.

The most noble thing you can do is keep your peace. Protect it. Guard it. Stand in it.
Because peace is where God speaks, where healing happens, and where your life begins to shift from the inside out.

👊If you’re ready to stop living in chaos and start choosing the peace God has always wanted for you, I’d love to walk with you.

💫You can join me in the Christ centered 16 week Becoming You course or the SolidStone 10 week men’s course.
If you feel that nudge, take it. Your peace is worth it.

“Something my friend said in sacrament last week shook me… and I can’t stop thinking about it.

She said,
‘God doesn't need our praise. We do.’
And it hit me hard.

God isn’t sitting in heaven waiting for validation.
He isn’t insecure.
He isn’t hoping someone remembers to compliment Him today.

He is already whole.
Already perfect.
Already complete.

So if He doesn’t need our praise…
why do we?

It’s just like a parent.
They raise a child, watch them grow up, and then wait patiently for the phone to ring.
Not because they need attention,
but because connection changes the child.

They wait for the simple, “Hey, I just wanted to say hi,”
or the moments the child asks for guidance
when life gets confusing.

Parents don’t want to impose.
They wait to be invited in.

And it’s the same with God.

When we praise Him,
when we reach back toward Him,
something shifts inside us.

Praise steadies the mind.
It softens the heart.
It realigns the spirit.

Praise binds us to Him.

And in that binding, something sacred happens.

It’s like sitting in the kitchen
watching your mother bake the same bread her mother made
and her mother before her.

It’s like a son beside his dad,
learning how to fix things,
how to build with his hands,
the way his father did.

There is a quiet, holy transfer of wisdom.
A remembering.

And the same thing happens with God.

When we bind ourselves to Him,
we remember what He has already taught us.

Just like John 14:26 says,
‘The Holy Ghost shall teach you all things
and bring all things to your remembrance.’

Praise is remembrance.
Praise is reconnection.
Praise brings us back to what our spirit already knows.

Just like honoring our parents
leads us to make the same bread
or use the same tools in the shop…

When we praise God,
we bind ourselves to His teachings,
to His love,
to the way He sees people in their highest good.

And in that binding,
we learn again how to shine His light.

So no, God doesn’t need our praise.
We do.

Because praise brings us back to Him.
And praise brings us back to ourselves.

Let your praise this week be the way you call home.

Happy Thanksgiving

When we build a real connection with the Savior, He awakens what’s already within us. Every truth, every experience, every lesson we’ve ever lived—He can bring it all to light so we can serve with purpose.

But that kind of clarity comes when we release what’s been holding us back. The Spirit can’t move through a heart full of bitterness, shame, or fear. When we let go of the baggage and make space for Him, He refines our pain into purpose and turns our past into light.

💫If you’re ready to clear the clutter and step into what God’s been preparing in you, set up a free consult call for the Women's Becoming You 16-week course or the SolidStone 10-week men's course.

Sometimes I forget that “come as you are” doesn’t mean “Bring your whole cowboys sorting cows in black out dust storm vocabulary.”
🤣
Like… I genuinely have to pray not to drop swear words in Relief Society.
Also, my hat that says “probably gonna clog your toilet later” doesn’t exactly scream reverence.
😂

So tell me — what are the ways you have to tone it down when you’re around family, your in-laws, or at church?
Drop them in the comments so I know I’m not the only one out here fighting my mouth and wardrobe.
