In our lives we have experiences of people who took the time to make us see Christ in them, to make us feel loved, to make us feel special. Below is an experience that I want to share of how a Brother of The Church simply gave his time (and in my mind), allowed us to dig our young feet into the Gospel.

Today is the first day of "anything goes" Miracle Mondays. There is no theme for the month of April, so please send us all of those testimonies you've been waiting and wanting to share. No miracle is too small or too grand. We love to hear how God is alive and at work in your life. Submit your story here.

This occurred quite a few years ago, back when I was young and somewhat reckless (unlike today when I'm no longer quite so young).

Here is a scripture to share with someone who's faith may need a boost.

As promised, here are the answers to yesterday's Songs in Translation quiz!

2. Give of Your Best to the Master
3. We Shall Sing on the Mountain of the Lord

A while back, I was asked to prepare a fun activity for the women of the Pacific Region Ladies' Circle to do at our recent retreat. I don't know how this crazy idea came to me, but I thought I'd share it with you all.

As children, we're told stories of things God has done that blows our minds. We've been told stories of Him sending ten plagues to Egypt, or even the fact that He created:
            Every.
                             Single.
                                                Star.

Just like the Song of Zion lyrics, "Not knowing how to go out or come in, Lord," I fret quite a bit. I ponder. I hesitate. I even "worry o'er the future." On those days when I wish I could have a face-to-face conversation with God about my worries, He reminds me that every answer to any question I have can be found in the pages of the word of God.

Let's take a look at His words of wisdom...

Today is our last day of fast-and-prayer Miracle Mondays, and we're sharing the testimony of Brother Deo in Burundi, Africa. Next month, there is no theme, so please send in all the experiences you've been meaning to share! Submit them via our handy form.

Here's a little something to encourage you. Share it with someone who needs to be reminded of God's Son today.

I often hear people say, "I wasn't raised in this Church..." or "I wasn't raised to have faith in Jesus Christ..." and then they proceed to say something like "...but I'm so thankful that I'm here" or "...I'm so thankful that He found me."

I, myself, was raised in The Church and taught to have faith in God, so I don't really know what life would be like without it. I've asked myself, "Do I fully realize what I have? Or do I take it for granted?"

We've all heard the phrase, "When life gives you lemons, make lemonade." Well, even the most optimistic person gets tired of lemonade, and sometimes lemonade does get old and sour.

My husband and I adopted a dog named Milo from an animal shelter. The shelter was not helpful in providing us with any information about him, other than he was house broken and wasn't a fan of cats.

Many of you (especially those of you who have kids in your life) are familiar with the Academy Award-winning and much-played (and parodied) song "Let It Go" from Disney's "Frozen." Well, as you'll read in today's Miracle Monday, Sister Flo Benyola recently found herself in the interesting position of saying, "Let it burn."

Here is something to share with those who need God's peace today.

God always answers prayer. No matter what is prayed for — a healing, help with something, blessings on others — there is always an answer. It doesn't matter the size of the situation. He'll always take care of us. Two things recently happened in my life where prayers were answered almost immediately. One could be considered a pretty serious issue, while the other was a small thing.

"Jesus is always watching!" A little old sister in my branch scolded me, pointing to the half-eaten Sunday school treat in my tiny 7-year-old hand. "You have to wait to pray first!" I looked at her, wide-eyed and munching quickly to hide the evidence, thinking, "But I'm really hungry and it's just one little cookie!"
