New Blog: The Provident Daughter

Dear Readers:

Thank you for your support of Beyond Beauty Diaries. It has been a wonderful learning experience. If you have followed my posts from the beginning, you know it has been a journey I have really enjoyed capturing in words. The focus has changed here and there, but I hope the consistent message conveyed was how to keep trying to live better through Christian discipleship.

I have decided to not continue Beyond Beauty Diaries, but because I treasure my posts, I will not delete the blog (I will re-share some of my favorite posts in the new blog). Instead, I have created a new blog, The Provident Daughter, to continue writing about my life as a Christian, but also to help and encourage you to live more dedicated to God and His Son. The new blog's focus will be preparing to meet God now based on the scripture found in Alma 34:32. This of course will include learning to love your community (how to serve and what local opportunities exist), love your spouse (includes advice on inexpensive date ideas), love God (developing a relationship with Him through an active faith), love your family (parenting is the highest calling in a family), and learning to love yourself (this one is big because if we don't love ourselves, it will be difficult to truly love others).

A special section will also be available beginning January 2017 called the Daily Word. The focus here is to encourage studying and pondering the Book of Mormon daily. At the end of the summary and discussion, I will include tips on how to incorporate the studying into a FHE lesson (where appropriate) and provide resources for lessons. After all, we could we could all use some encouragement with this (I know I do).

If you have Facebook, I invite you to follow The Provident Daughter page (to receive alerts of new content), and/or on Instagram you can find me under e.d.potter (here is where not only I share the updated posts but also you get a more personal look at my family life).

Please let me know if there is any specific content you would like to see more of based on the focus outlined.

Thank you and God bless!
