"We are promised in the scriptures that when we reach out to the Lord in prayer He will bring comfort and peace to our hearts. His love is unconditional. He has a plan for you that may not be understood immediately but he is working a mighty change in us if we let Him."

"My invitation to you at the outset of this semester is to have ears to hear—to really hear the instructions from heaven that God wants to give to you, and then to have the faith to follow them." - Sister Wendy Reese
