Welcome to Findding Happiness From Within

Hi, my name is Stephanie. I’m on a path to finding my happiness from within. I have had a crazy life of things that have led me to make bad choices one after another. I couldn’t found why I wasn’t getting the things I wanted? Why did I keep jumping into different situations and keep getting the same depressing results?  The last few years I have tried and failed at getting my life back on track and doing the things I always dreamed of.  Finely I gave up and just existed and took care of everyone around me and was in a poor pitty me mode. One day I was messing around with my podcast app and found some podcasts about finding happiness. I then found one called A Bit Of Whit. Oh man did she change my views. Whitney is a LDS life coach. I wondered what a life coach was and looked up more life coaching podcasts. Wow did that change my thinking. 

Before doing this research I was in a funk. I was working many many hours, had a house full of people that I was HELPING and pissed of because I was being taken advantage of.  I did nothing but bitch about all the people who used me and threw me away when they bleed me dry. I questioned god, I’m doing what you want? You said to give yourself and help people in need? Why am I now bleeding with an empty cup? What is wrong with me? Why don’t anyone love me? Why does no one care that I’m dying here?

 I quit going to church and stoped praying and asking for help. In reality I never really prayed and listened to gods words. When I did and I got an answer I didn’t like I did it anyway. It was only when I was desperate that I did pray. I knew he would be there but I still had something holding me back from relly talking to him and listening to his promptings. 

When I was intruduced to Whitney something clicked. I won’t go into it now but there was some major trauma that relly affected me and my relationship with our savior. I wrote to Whitney not expecting a response but I got one! This is part of her message to me. 

If you want to connect with Christ—that part is easy.  He is always there.  It is us that moves away.  How do you do it?  How do you connect?  You just make a choice.  You got to church on Sunday.  You start praying.  You read your scriptures.  You pay your tithing.  That is it.  You make a choice and then you start looking for evidence He (Christ) is there and you will start seeing it all around you. Will there be opposition?  ABSOLUTELY.  However, for me, it is totally worth it.  Never forget that Satan has power to bruise our heel, but Christ has power to crush his head.  When we align ourselves with Christ, we will make it.  Will it be difficult—yep.  Will it be worth it—completely.  You’ve got this.  You can do hard things. Your past does NOT define you. If you feel adversity from Satan—just remember you have your dad and all sorts of ancestors on the other side of the veil working on your behalf.  Satan will not win.  You can do this!

Wow was that powerful to me. I took the step, I went back to church and it felt amazing. I’ve been praying , reading my scriptures, and listening to the promptings. I have an empty house now. The only person besides me that I’m  helping consistently is my mom. I have put my pictures of Christ back in my walls and taking one step at a time.

I’m ready, God I’m following you. It is no longer what I want for my life but it is now what you want it is you want and need from me!  I realize thru another powerful and probably my favorite podcast was on the Parable of Tallents. https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/a-bit-a-whit/id1336062058?mt=2&i=1000413472464  In this I realized that I have tallents that god gave me to help serve him by serving others. God has a calling for me and now it’s time to follow that calling what ever that is. Right now he has me in a journey to heal myself and to share with others as I’m on this path. I have went to counseling and I have been reading and praying and finding some amazing things that I want to share with you.  In doing this I am also hoklding myself  accountable.  

I would love for you to read this blog, and stay with me as I have my ups and downs. I will share with you some of my past in hopping it will help someone else. Please leave comments and I will read them and respond. Also if this touches you please share. I’m hopping this can become a wonderful community that can help support each other.  Thank you, Stephanie.
