Kandee Payne

I'm not breaking down as often... But I still have been crying a lot more than I ever have... I don't want this to be my new identity... But it seems to be.. another piece of me. Hi. I'm Kandee. I'm a daughter of God. A sister to 8 siblings. I'm LDS. I'm the wife to a wonderful husband (married for almost 27 years this Friday...) and the mother of 6. 1 beautiful daughter and 5 handsome sons. I lost a son... It has been over a month. I have seen miracles. I have felt comfort only having so many pray for me can explain... And I know I am seen. The pain is still there. It... becomes overwhelming at times.. but I have been told it will lessen.. with time. I hope so. The one thing I can think of at the moment between trying to navigate the new normal and what I already knew before all this happened... Is that God is still in charge. He knows me. He sends people when I am weak. He is more aware than I ever knew about me and mine and that is humbling. I also don't know how to post well on X.

This is hard... It is happening this Saturday...

The SLC temple has been closed for 7.5 years... According to AI.. THAT is so long. This is amazing that they are going to do a virtual tour!!! #LDS #GeneralConference

Don't be the reason someone uses to separate themselves from our Father. Be kind. Suffer long. Show the love you want to those who are struggling. No matter their reactions. #LDS #GeneralConference

Hold truth even in our outreach. We still need to hold truth up. Jesus knew the difference between forgiving sin and condoning sin. There is no exemption for sin. The 1st commandment is 1st for a reason. #LDS #GeneralConference

Let your sceptical friends see how much you love the gospel. Stay at the tree. It is a happy thing. Be happy not dismissive of others pain and problems. #LDS #GeneralConference

Just because we think we know better we still need to love. Anger does not heal. Anger does not build. Ask for Charity and be kind. #LDS #GeneralConference

Love your students. Like the Savior loved us. #LDS #GeneralConference

What commandment is most important? Love the Lord. Love His children. #LDS #GeneralConference

The knowledge of being His children and everyone's brother and sister should make us kinder... Note to self. I get too grumpy lately... #LDS #GeneralConference

We are to prepare the world for His coming... So we need to make a place for Him not only in our words but deeds and thoughts and in our very being. #LDS #GeneralConference

Declare His word and do it. Be kind. Help lift. Feed. Cheer. Comfort. Give solace. Be quick to help and slow to judge. #LDS #GeneralConference

Am I someone who lifts and comforts or am I someone who passes judgment? If I am to follow Christ.. I am to help. I am to shelter. I am to feed, clothe, love... #LDS #GeneralConference

Am I trying to be more like Jesus? Am I being a helper or a judge? #LDS #GeneralConference

What we watch, what we listen to, how we interact, if we repent, if we read the scriptures and pray... These things will show God what our priorities are. Time to do inventory. #LDS #GeneralConference

Whatever is happening in our life... The answer is always Jesus Christ. Today can be a new day, through Him and tomorrow can be a better day. #GeneralConference #GeneralConference

He that hath the spirit of contention is not of me.. but of the spirit of the devil. *Perk #GeneralConference

Need to reread and study #ElderBednar talk.. For sure. #GeneralConference

Unrighteousness of someone else cannot rob us of promised blessings through covenants. #LDS #GeneralConference

We cannot just say we are good... One time. It is constant... consistent... daily pursuit. #LDS #GeneralConference
