All I Possess

Leaving behind false traditions in search of the true Jesus

  • Untangling

    It was 4 months after I “found Jesus” and started going to my new church. My husband had been super concerned and weighed down about my change. He said he felt like the contract we made at marriage was being altered, and I wasn’t being true to the terms of the contract (Basically that we’d Continue reading

  • What are Your Pronouns?

    Mormons have this interesting habit of praying in modern English except for the second person pronouns for some weird mixed up reasons. What if I spoke to you in French except all the adjectives were in Portuguese? Yeah that would be weird. We are taught that saying “thee” and “thy” are respectful. Why is one Continue reading

  • Relationship with Jesus

    What’s your relationship with Jesus like? How do you develop that? In Relief Society (the women’s class at LDS church) about 10 years ago, this question was raised. I loved Jesus.

  • Who Else is Worthy?

    Everyone knows God is omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, never changing, and has existed eternally. …except Mormons. They think God had an origin. He was a child of his “Heavenly Father” and had a mortal life like us, and then became God. (It’s amazing how many Mormon doctrines I explain now and think “Oh my gosh, that’s Continue reading

  • God Wants a Relationship With You!

    Just something simple and heartfelt today… I love some of the terms and things Christians say, that I never heard in the LDS church. I was just listening to a sermon saying God wants a relationship with us. And immediately teared up and said aloud “Why would He want a relationship with me?” Wow. No Continue reading
