I am a Molley Mormon and unashamed!

Today is no different than any other except for one thing...I am finally writing. Why do I say finally? Because in the past, I have felt inspired to write, but just seemed to let life get in the way. One morning I woke up and started to say my morning prayers and I felt impressed to ask my husband for a priesthood blessing. I couldn't think of why I might need one or how I would ask my dear husband for a blessing for no reason. Usually I have a question, I'm sick or I have a deep desire for comfort. This morning I was on top of the world, so it didn't make any sense. A strong remembrance came into my mind. You are not asking Chris for a blessing you are accepting a blessing I, your Father in Heaven, want to give you through my Priesthood. The mental debate ended and I shared with my husband exactly what I heard and felt. The reason I share this with you is not just because of the unconventional way I was given this blessing from my Father in Heaven but how it is the very reason I have started this blog. In that blessing I was told directly that Father wanted me to write what he has taught me and the inspiration I have been so blessed with through the Holy Ghost. He mentioned books, journals, but the strongest witness came to me when I was asked to write a blog for the benefit of his children. That is the purpose for this blog. Obedience! I am writing it for you just because he told me to. I don't know which of his children this will benefit but he said in my blessing that he would guide them to it. So...what that means is that you could not possibly be reading this unless he led you here one way or another. What I know about you is that you are my family in God. You are my brother or sister so I will write this with that in mind and I hope you read it the same way. I named this blog Molly Mormon because I want to get a little more Molly in me. Growing up a Molly Mormon implied that you never did anything bad or wrong. It also might have been looked as being a prude or being inexperienced in the world. Well, I am far from perfect. I have experienced more of the world than I have cared to and I can relate to all you sinners out there who have been in great need of the atonement. DAILY! In my adult years I have decided I could use a little more Molly Mormon in me. I now see it as a desirable characteristic, to get a little more Molly in me and through my relationship with my savior Jesus Christ I'm feeling more Molly everyday. In fact as I pray for insight on who I really am I have a feeling I am more like Molly than I ever would have admitted. This Blog is my announcement to the world. I am a Molly Mormon and I am unashamed! That is what I feel the Lord meant when he said he wanted me to write. He wants me to share with you how I am finding my Molly, the peculiar person I have been asked by my Heavenly parents to find in me. I know she is there...the real me...the daughter that Father sees when he looks at me. "We live in a strange world daughter" I hear him say, "but your Mother in heaven and I will be by your side and give you all you need to complete what you came to earth to do if you will listen to the promptings that I will give you." He has kept that promise and he wants me to share all he has given me, with you. No, Im not talking about sharing my bank account though I give him all the credit for that too. I'm talking about my oil. The oil in my lamp that has come through living in this strange world and all the trials that come with a fallen Telestial planet in the 11th hour of wickedness. We all chose to come at this time for a reason and we are all in need of oil for our lamps. I am pretty sure Molly was a virgin in need of oil too so here we go!
