We have a guest today. We're so thrilled to have Karalee Anjewierden. Karee is an old friend of mine and of my family's. She was such an influence in my daughter's life. Savannah, some of you have heard Savannah. She was on episode six talking about the embodiment of Christ. Keri was. Savannah's young women's leader and like her second mother, during that time in Savannah's life, when you just hope another woman comes in because you can't be that influence. that was Karee Andrew Weirton. She was Savannah's second mother and loved her like her own daughter. And I will be eternally grateful for that. Karee is a delightful woman and she's written a book and I'm going to give her a formal introduction Karalee Anjewieirden is the author of Pocket Miracles and my pre prayer planner.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Oh, thank you for letting me join you. love all of the episodes. I've been listening to what you are putting out there and I love it.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

I appreciate your input. I remember you told me that you had to slip in that Second book, my pre prayer planner, very last minute, right?

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

I did.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

we're going to have to get to that. Tell us about your inspiration for writing pocket miracles. How did it all come about?

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

During COVID, I went to a retreat that someone was teaching and thought I was going to get this nice, relaxing experience. And instead was, it was all about, Starting a business for God. I didn't know I was supposed to be starting a business for God. They had us studying a bunch of, talks by past prophets and apostles and women's leaders, and just, teaching us about who we are, our value. And that is something, I don't know if you knew Stephanie, but that's something that I've struggled with my whole life. as a child was very shy and never really felt worthy. I don't know if that's the word I'm looking for, but just never really felt like I mattered.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Karee, I'm so surprised to hear this. I did not know this about you.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

As I grew and I had my children, it was very easy to advocate for my children because it wasn't me. so going to this retreat And having this idea that maybe God wanted me to start some business for him. And I had no idea what can I offer. And as I was on this journey, God took me on this beautiful journey of discovering how he sees me. And one of the ways that he did that was through miracles. So I had started again, doing a gratitude journal

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

So you've done it once before.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

I had done it before, but never really put much stock into it. And this time I was dealing with some health issues and there was a lot of buzz in, online and other places that a miracle journal can help you health wise. And all of these ways, your sleep and your health and your, everything. And I thought if that's true, why am I not doing it? So I started doing it again. But now I'm in this place where I have been trying to find out what is it that God needs me to do now? Because my children at this point are mostly grown. I do still have one at home, that's in high school, but most of my kids are gone at this point. And I needed to find out who I was again. I'm a mom, but who am I? And I think most moms get to that point, right? Where you hit that place of, okay, where do I fit in the world? And that's where I was at.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

approaching that identity crisis period in your life.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

absolutely yes. And I came across a quote by President Eyring talking about if you ask in prayer to have God show you his hand every day, And that hit me like a bolt of lightning. I don't know why it struck such a chord with me, but so I'm already writing my gratitude. And as I read that, I was like, okay heavenly father, how can I do that? How do I go from where I'm at? To where you're promising, that promise that he was giving and the thought came into my mind, add one miracle a day, just add one miracle a day.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

add one miracle a day. That was the thought in your mind. Just add one miracle.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

And my next thought was, I don't have miracles. So how am I going to do that? And this journey that he's taken me on to look for those daily miracles has Changed who I am completely, it has brought me confidence. It has brought me joy. It has helped me to see the beauty around me. Not that I wasn't seeing some of that before, but in a more direct way. I compared myself with others and don't get me wrong. It's not that I never do now, But it doesn't hold the same value for me that it did at one time. I wanted to look a certain way. I wanted to be a certain way I wanted, those kinds of things. Now it's more, am I doing what God needs me to do? Am I fulfilling what he has asked me to do? And knowing that even if I fall short on that, he loves me always. And nothing that I could do would change that, right? Because that has been part of this journey. As I have seen those daily miracles and the places that he's showing up for me, I am loved. That is like a warm hug to me every day writing those down because that is how he loves me and it can be something as simple as If I'm running late, I've had six kids. Sometimes your time is not your own and you're trying to get places and you're running behind. there have been days when I will say a prayer as I'm in the car. I just need to get there on time. And the lights, the sequence of lights and I go right through them and I, that is not a coincidence to me. That is a miracle. That is God saying, I see you. I love you. You need this thing. You've asked me for this thing. Here it is.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

So even the simplest thing, like the lights being green at the right time,

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

what stands out to me is that your focus was not only the miracles that were happening in your life or the simplest events. Picturing them and seeing them as miracles. But if you didn't complete what you wanted to, you decided that you would recognize that the heavenly father still loved you and nothing you did would stop that love. that's a temptation that a lot of us, slip into is thinking that he is disappointed. In me and that's just where the adversary wants us to be leaving I'm not good enough and therefore, I better not try, these principles are too hard. And so it's better than I not try because I can't live up to it. That downward spiral. And it doesn't come from Heavenly Father. It's really the adversary's cycle down. And so I appreciate you pointing that out that you said to yourself, Heavenly Father still loved you. And nothing was going to take that love away. I get it? Yes.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. in a world where that, I call it mind chatter. Where it's so prolific in our chaotic world, those thoughts come so easily. It's so wonderful to have the ability to feel God's love and to have it drown out those voices that would have us believe otherwise, that we are not. Enough that we are not doing enough or doing what we should be, instead to quiet that. And to say, I'm moving forward. I'm doing the best that I can each day. And that's all. God requires of me He loves me, right?

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

In psychology, in cognitive behavioral therapy, they call it cognitive distortions and you call it mind chatter. both meaningful terms. But the point is We all have it. And we all, Have found ourselves believing it and it's nice to have a conversation where we can be speaking about our Heavenly Father and recognize where this is coming from. This is the influence of the adversary and he would like us to believe that it's all true because he wants to bring us down.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

He does. And I think especially women get worked on very hard maybe because of our nurturing nature, we have a tendency to believe it more. it seems to be among women almost more than men.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

It does. I think nurturing is a part of it. I think along with that comes an insecurity, a part of our nature has an insecurity about that. It seems like testosterone brings confidence, but I won't get it further into the biology because I don't know it, but I do see more insecurity in women, I will say, I see that more often than in men and I think that is part of our nature and with that nature comes wonderful gifts, but we have to work. On reminding ourselves of that mind chatter or that cognitive distortion is not true. And it's coming from the adversary and it's there to bring us down. And Heavenly Father loves us and wants us to feel that love. we can change those thoughts in our minds and it can change how we feel about ourselves and about life. sometimes we just need to pray for the help to make that change in that mind chatter that can be overwhelming.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

And one of the things that for me has done that is focusing on miracles. I'm, if my focus is on God and where is God today, where is he showing up in my life? If that is my focus, that mind chatter seems for me to not be quite so loud because I'm focusing on something more important. And so I don't know if it will work that way for everyone. But I felt very strongly that I needed to write this book and share the things that God had showed me so that others could do it too, because it was amazing to me as I started doing this and my confidence grew and my ability to see God every day and to know he loved me, I wanted to share it. And I started sharing it with my kids, Oh, that was a miracle. Oh, do you think so? And then it was outside of my family sphere where I would be with a friend and I would say, wow, that was amazing. Miracle that just happened to you. And they had no idea. I think most of us have this grand idea that it has to be. if we don't have those experiences, like God parting the red sea, it's not valid. It's not really a miracle. And I think that's where most of us, disservice ourselves because those grand miracles happen and they're. Amazing when they happen, God's love comes in those mundane, ordinary little drops, or, as Elder Dushku was talking about in conference, those little rays of light. He may not be giving us a pillar of light, but he'll give us a little ray here and there to fill our bucket if we're watching for them, but often they're so small and mundane and ordinary. We don't see them. We don't notice that they're there. And so this is why pocket miracles, because they're tiny, they're small, but they happen every day and they happen multiple times a day. If we're watching, if we're looking where you can finally start to see them. Almost hear him say, and here's this little treat for you and this little experience for you, just so you know, I love you today.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. And I can see, of course, the reason why it makes you feel better about yourself because you feel recognized by your Heavenly Father throughout the day. And how significant is that, to know that He's in those fine details in your life and wants those little moments to go just right for you.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. And then that changes my relationship with him because wow, you love me a lot, instead of seeing him as a harsh God who wants to punish or who isn't listening Your eyes are able to see he loves me and he loves me so much that he's constantly sending stuff my way. Not just the large miracle when I need it all the time, he's sending me these little rays of hope all day long that I can draw from and gain strength from and then turn that to other people. I see, Oh, he loves me that much that he gives me those things. Then I have to turn that around and go, wow, look what he's doing for that person and that person. And he loves them just as much as he loves me. And that's where that comparison piece gets taken away because he loves us all the same.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

you began to share it, not just with your family, but outside the family sphere to friends and pointing out the miracles in their lives. And was it at that point that you began to wonder? Maybe I need to write this down so people can see it. Is that how the book began?

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yeah, I think so. Because at this point I'm still looking for. What is it that God needs me to do? And at that point was when I felt that then put this into a book, write a book, teach people how to do it so that they have that ability to see that and do that for themselves as well.

Stephanie test:

what an interesting premise that was given you at that retreat, create a business for God

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yeah.

Stephanie test:

what an interesting premise. So you already had that in your mind. What is my business going to be

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

of

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Or what is my mission?

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Okay.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

a mother, certainly a wife.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

I already had those pieces, but that. That needing to do something more was opening the door for something else

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

you were in that change time in your life where you were going to have, more time.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. And I wanted it to have purpose. I wanted it to, I think really, I just needed to know myself and I needed to know how I fit if my kids are gone and what more can I do? is there something that I'm not doing? And somehow this led me to this retreat. the way that happened was all miraculous. Somebody reached out to me. I think you should do this, pray about it. we didn't have the money at the time to go. It was expensive and I prayed about it with my husband and yes, you need to do this. And it was a big deal. So that was miraculous. And then the other part of the miracle is that this journey has helped me to see who I am. It has taught me, it has healed me from the inside out, essentially. In places that I was broken, that I didn't know I was broken and I didn't know how to fix. I could have never known how to fix. Only God knew how to fix. And what a simple thing to just, write some gratitude and look for miracles. It sounds so simple when you put it that way,

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. But that was the very exercise that brought you healing.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

yes.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Was there a scripture that was motivating you during this time

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

One that actually came to me during this retreat is in first Nephi chapter 17. And this is where Nephi is. told they're near the ocean. And Nephi is told to go up into the mountain and to talk to God. So he goes into the mountain to talk to God. And while he is there, God says, build a boat, build a ship. And for whatever reason, this time it struck me. Did he know how to build a ship? Had he ever seen a ship? Did he know how to make things watertight? there were so many questions, right? As he asks him to do this thing. And, in our day and age, at least you've seen a picture of a ship, right? But who knows what his background was at the time. If God had asked me to do something like that would have been to say, Oh, I can't do that. There's no way I can do that. I don't know how, right? Nephi's response is none of that. His response is, where do I go to get ore to make tools? already in his mind, he's going and doing the thing. And how do I get to that point where I can go and do that thing? That terrifies me. Being in front of people, even speaking to groups, all of those things that those were all fears that I had that I can't do that because that puts me out there and people can see, and maybe they'll see a flaw and maybe they'll, but if you're doing it for God, it makes it easier for me to do those things because. I'm on his mission. It's not for me. It's for him. And then it just takes all of that pressure away. Now I'm not saying that I haven't had my moments of fear. I have started and stopped all along the way as I'm like, I need a deep breath.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Huh.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

But that scripture was enough for me to say, if Nephi could get to that point where he knew he could ask God for something, and he didn't have to fear it. I can get to that place too.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. I can see why that was such motivation for you. It's the very story that's been motivating to me. Is Nephi building, being asked to build that ship and then being left to do it so much on his own at times when his brothers didn't want anything to do with it. Yes. And he kept going forward just knowing if Heavenly Father asked me to do it, there's got to be a way that I'm going to be able to do it. And what's interesting is I find that It's easier to look at his life and think he did it, than to really do it yourself when you're in a position.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Why is it so much harder when it's. You're the one that's been asked to do something like, wait a minute, I can't do that. I could do the ship,

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

I can ride on the ship.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Human nature.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

So grateful for the scriptures that give us that guidance and the reminders that if we will put our faith in our Savior, in our Heavenly Father, that they will lead the way. But we need to put our faith. In them and work as if it all depends on us and then they'll step in and help. Yeah. Yeah.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

And that belief is everything that, that trusting that belief that even that hope, the scriptures talk about if you just have the faith of a grain of mustard seed, which is itty bitty tiny, it's that hope that. What God is telling you is true and that belief blesses your life so much. I can't even imagine going through life and not seeing the miracles that I have seen because they have absolutely changed me, changed who I am. If you talk to my family, any of them at this point and say, what was the difference between mom then and mom now, worlds of difference. I'm not even the same person.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

How would they describe the difference? Do you have words to help us understand the difference?

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

I think, some of the words that they've used, you seemed unsure about yourself, mom, or you always put yourself down or you second guessed yourself It's so good to see you doing something that you love doing something that's bringing you joy. You're so much happier. You're so much more. Fulfilled, they can see tangibly that I'm a different person and that my fears have left me. maybe not a hundred percent because we're human and they're going to keep raising their head and the adversary is going to keep trying, especially when you start to figure out how to get closer to God, you better believe he's going to be pushing back with everything that he has. And that's the importance of writing it down, of recording it. Because when you record those miracles, those gratitude, those things that God is putting in your life every day, when you're doing that, you have proof, you have evidence that God is there. And so when the adversary tries to fill your mind with all of this chatter of who you aren't, and you can't do that, and why would you even try? You can go back and you can read and you can say, Oh, on this day, these are the miracles that God gave me.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Those words are not true. I can believe in what I've written down on this page and I don't have to listen to what my brain is telling me is truth.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

And that is one part that I really appreciate about your book. you give the opportunity for them to write down those miracles right within the book. So you guide them on how to get there, but then they have space to write down those miracles in the book.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

and even some prompts to get you started. Again, we don't think of miracles every day. And so to get you to, it's a practice thing. It's like anything else, just a practice to get yourself looking, knowing where to look, what you're looking for to find those little nuggets I would say every time, ask God, show me today where you are, let me see tangibly where you are, and then write those things down so that he knows that you're serious about that question and he'll show you, and it may be one a day. Or you may have one in a week And then all of a sudden they'll just start to open up and you'll see them everywhere. Pretty incredible.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. I had one happen yesterday and it was, unusual because, I planned on doing recording and the week had filled up and this was the day yesterday that I needed to record and I was terribly behind because I'm very good at procrastinating and fears behind my procrastination. There I am in this situation where I must do it. But in my prayer, I had said that morning, help me to help someone today and before I get to recording, I get a phone call from my daughter and she's in Utah County area and that's about an hour away. she has locked her keys in her car, and an extra set of her keys are in my house, and she's stuck. And she's asking, Will you come and bring my keys to me? And I thought, at first I was like, this is my one day to record. That was, in the back of my mind, then I thought this is exactly what I have just asked for. I've just asked if I could help someone today and if I could strengthen relationships with my children. And I get this phone call and I said, I would love to, I'll be there at this time. And it was delightful. And I felt like that was my miracle for the day is to connect with my daughter, Emma, to have that opportunity to go see her and take the keys. It wasn't about the keys. And I was just jolly all the way down, I can't tell you how many times I've locked my keys in my car. So it's about time I had the opportunity to return the favor. But it wasn't until today, as I started into this interview, or preparing this morning for this interview that I looked back and thought again, you know what? I didn't write that miracle down in my pocket miracles book. So I'm going to go back and I'm going to write that miracle down in my pocket miracles book. Because now I have a place to write down. I want to remember that Heavenly Father is looking out for me every day, because like you said, when the adversary comes and starts that mind chatter and wants me to feel low and wants me to doubt, I have a place to write. when you've written something down, especially by hand, you remember it, and it changes you, and it stays with you. If you don't remember it, it's there to refer to, and later it will bless your lives. How many times I've gone back to journals and found something faith promoting, an experience that I'd completely forgotten. thank goodness I'd written it down. So you've opened this door for so many of us to have those faith promoting moments because now you're giving us an opportunity to write them

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

guide us to doing it.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. And then to have a place that will become a keepsake for just you, but your posterity to see for themselves, God has been there. He's been there all along.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. I better be sure to mention, how did this one come along? My pre prayer planner. Now this was hurried at the end, right?

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

It was, I had started teaching this at a couple of retreats and this was an evolvement after I had found my miracles and my gratitude and I wanted to uplevel my prayer and I had prayed, how can I do that? What do I need to do to really. communicate with you in talking to God. How do I really communicate with God in a personal way? Because growing up, my parents were great at teaching us to pray and to use the prayer language that's more formal, but that made me more formal. And yes, I believe that God, he's the almighty, right? He's the God of the universe and all universes. So there is respect that needs to be there, but he's also our Father and he wants to hear from us and he wants to hear, not just thank you for, I need. He wants to hear today is so hard for me and this is why, but this is where I saw you show up for me. And I'm so grateful for that. Are there other things that I need to be doing? And can you show me that asking that receiving that knock and it shall be opened, right? The ask and you shall receive. And so that's where I was in wanting, because I was feeling that love from God, I wanted to expand that. And now I want to have. Meaningful conversation to you. Like Enis, how does he pray for a whole day? How does he spend that time on his knees praying And this is what came. And it's just simply preparing before you pray, to invite the spirit in, to have the spirit show you what are the things that I need today or that I need to talk with God about? What are the things he needs me to talk to him about? So that when I go to that prayer, I'm focused, my mind isn't everywhere. It's right where it needs to be. And I can have a mighty prayer with God and it can be, two minutes, or it can be 20 minutes, depending on what I need that day or what I have time for. But I've already taken the time to make sure that it's focused and it's where God needs it to be. And It has really made a difference for me in the way that I speak to God and in our conversations with each other. And it has become a conversation. I guess that's the difference is that before I would pray, I was praying. It was not a conversation and now it's a conversation. And at the end of the day, I can add that to my gratitude or to my miracles. Thank you for Our conversations today. I needed those. I needed to hear your voice. I needed to know what you needed

yes.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

makes it more intimate. It makes it more meaningful.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

All right. So a place to prepare for prayer and write it down.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

You're focused and ready for that prayer. So it becomes more than a wish list and a few thank yous, but more like a conversation.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

And how many of us maybe get a prompting or hear something and it goes in one ear and out the other, you may act on it or you may not. And that was the other part of it I need to be more intentional on following through on promptings. And when you've written it down, I've got highlighted now where I can go back and say, this is where God needs me to do something. And have I done that thing? Not that it has to become a checklist, but to go back and say, Oh yes, I remember this is something he wanted me to do. I haven't done it. Oh, look, it's showing up again. This is something he really wants me to do. Yeah, and never to beat ourselves up about it again, if we're moving forward, if we're taking that step at a time, that's enough, that's all God needs from us, but he wants us to be trying and he wants us to be focused on him.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes. Oh, it's been delightful. Karee, thank you so much for joining us today. I'm so grateful that you wrote this book. I told you how it's already inspired me and helped me along in one of my projects. How do people find you if they would like to reach out to you, Karee?

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

is there anything else that you'd like to share before we go?

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Yes.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Good.

karalee-anjewierden_1_05-15-2024_141546:

I would love to share just how important this is, not just for yourself. For me, that was the first thing that I took was that God was healing me, but what it has done for me is to help me to find God. And that is the purpose for writing the book is if you are in a place in your life where you have doubts and where you're not sure where you stand. In your beliefs, in your knowledge of a heavenly father I would ask you to pray, and just have that little small amount of faith and hope to believe and to look for those miracles. And as you look for those daily touch points that God is sending you, that you would be sincere in realizing and recognizing that he is there for you. And that he loves you.

stephanie_1_05-15-2024_141546:

Thank you. I'm so glad you shared that intent with us, but what you've learned through this journey of writing Pocket Miracles and your prayer book, that really was the most important lesson in this whole affair is that Heavenly Father is there for Amen. Amen. All of us. you are an angel. Thank you for joining us today and for writing this book. We're so grateful that you are willing to come and we look forward to, seeing you in the future at one of your retreats.
