  "Share with Heavenly Father what is in your heart.  As you sincerely ask for his help, you will receive His Spirit to guide you.  Praying every day will fill you with love for Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.  This will help you want to follow Them your whole life!...I invite you to pray to know Heavenly Father is there, pray to grow to become like Him, and pray to show His love to others, I know He lives and  loves you!"   -Sister Susan Porter

  "True leaders don't lead for recognition; they lead to make an impact that lasts forever." I'm not sure who said this quote, but i love it.  Here's a photo of a neighbor taking the lead to teach our son how to fish. He didn't need to, he just saw an opportunity to help an eager child learn something new that could enrich his day and his life.

                           "Don't wait for inspiration, it comes while you're working." -Henri Matisse We find this quote to be so true in so many aspects of life! It also reminds me of last year I was wanting to get into water-coloring and so i started reading about it, listening to tutorials, etc...but the words that helped me the most were from one artist who said, "Just start painting, that's the best way to learn.  Paint something every day."
