About Me

Hi, I’m Lyenna, a disciple of Jesus Christ, a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a journaler, writer, and seeker of revelation. My Daily walk with Christ has been an ongoing effort to become more like Him, to accept His invitation to follow Him, to learn more about Him through scripture study and living prophets and apostles, and through weekly worship at church and in the temple.

Journaling has become my way of gaining perspective and quieting my often chaotic mind. Expression of thought whether written or verbal allows me to break through the noise and receive personal revelation. It strengthens my resolve to become more Christlike and identify where I need to repent and change. It’s freeing, refining, and deeply humbling. I don’t always accept His invitations with perfect willingness, but I’m trying, and God is merciful.

My purpose is to trust Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ more, take the pressure off, and follow what I've been called to do...write, share, and do it in the way that feels natural to me, no algorithms, data, SEO optimization, or whatever other crap the world tells me I'm supposed to do to make this blog "successful." Honestly, I just can't do it their way. I've tried and it feels gross and exhausting...no thanks. So, if you like the honest, raw, likely mundane, or maybe not perspective from a middle-aged woman Latter-day Saint, then I'm your gal.

A Few Fun Facts About Me

  • My favorite hymn is Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing.
  • I’m extremely competitive, driven, and disciplined, so you’ll usually find me planning and prepping food, at the gym, on a run, or out for a daily walk. Movement is life—and I have a goal to live to 100, so…
  • I absolutely hate the cold and often question my choice to live in Northern Utah, where it's cold nine months out of the year.
  • I love “end-of-the-world” movies—The Tomorrow War, Edge of Tomorrow, World War Z, A Quiet Place (the OG), I Am Legend, and Greenland—add Avengers: End Game and the list could go on and on.
  • I love watching my kids compete—baseball, lacrosse, soccer, or whatever new sport they’re passionate about. If I’m not home, I’m probably on the sidelines cheering them on.
  • Slowing down isn’t really in my vocabulary (and honestly, I'd rather sprint anyway).
