Ask me anything & Share your blog !

From the very beginning of my blogging "career" I've wanted to do a question post,
but I've never dared to because I've been afraid no one would ask me anything. 
Now I finally feel like it's the time for it!

The rules are very simple: leave a comment with some questions on it and if you want, you can also add a link to your blog if you have one (I promise to visit all of them and leave a comment!).
 Please leave your questions and links until June 26th (Wednesday),  so you have one week time.

Next week I'll post a question post with questions to all your answers.
I'll also post a collection of my favorites of the blogs you've shared with me.

Happy asking and sharing! :)

P.S. today rainy Finland, tomorrow sunny Samos!
see you buddies next week!

Dear readers and fans

Guys. Readers. Friends. People. Stalkers. Buddies. Followers. Or however you call yourselves.

Let me tell you a story. It was early spring and I thought to myself "I'd like to be an inspiring blogger". I created a new blog (which can be found here) and thought I had become one. Now I've realized "been there, done that" wasn't really my thing and I'd like to carry on with this blog. I have just lack of inspiration and I've started to wonder if the blogging really isn't my thing. 

You, my readers, make me want to write and blog. You inspire me with your comments.
 Thank you for everyone who has come and told me my blog has been an inspiration
 or it has effected on your lives. It means a world to me. 

Now I'd like to ask you a one thing. Just answer this little simple question:
"What would you like to read in my blog?"

That would help me to find the inspiration again! 

Love you all,
Susanna

The Book of Mormon

Last Sunday my Sunday school teacher gave us a challenge to write down our testimony of The Book of Mormon. I got an idea to share it in my blog too. This post wouldn't have been created without my Sunday school teachers Mona, who's one of the most inspiring teachers ever taught me, so thanks to her!

The Book of Mormon in a testimony that Jesus is Christ. I have read it, prayed for it and lived the way it teaches us to live. Through all those little things I have done for years, I've found out to myseld that it's true. That book has been an answer to my prayers
 and has given me the joy and the peace I haven't found anywhere else. 

I remember when I wrote down my testimony of the Book of Mormon for the first time. It was late night and I was going to give a Book of Mormon to a friend of mine the following day. People usually share their testimony when they give that book to someone and so wanted I. That was a night I asked myself for the first time: "What makes this book so special?" I really felt the Spirit strongly in my heart and knew that Book fo mormon was true. The following day, after giving the book to my friend, I went straight to bathroom and cried for happiness. My heart was full of love and I knew I had done something markable. 

The Book of Mormon has given me knowledge of things that are most important in life and helped me to understand God's plan. It has taught me who I am, why I am here and what I have to do to come back to my Heavenly Father one day. The Book of Mormon has given me so much strenght on my worst days. 

Always remember you are a Child of God and He loves you a lot.
 The Book of Mormon can be His way to answer your prayers!
