Conference Weekend -- YEAH!

I don't know about you but I am really looking forward to Conference this weekend, I could really use a spiritual pick-me-up.

I can't pin point my problem lately - but these past couple week I've been sulking around feeling sorry for myself. I wouldn't say that I'm sad or depressed...but I wouldn't say that I'm content and over joyed either. I'm in a restless rut and I can't seem to pull out of it.

Then, last Saturday, I was fortunate enough to have a sweet husband who scored me a ticket to the General RS Meeting at the Conference Center in SLC.

I was able to get out and have a girls night with some sweet ladies from our ward; I met up with a dear friend from High school who always makes me feel more amazing than I really am and I was able to sit rows away from our dear Prophet. What a blessed night.

I was able to watch President Monson, I could overhear his voice as he greeted and asked about the families of his counselors and members of the seventy that presided. I watched as he tapped his feet in time with the rhythm of songs and the most important thing I witnessed, was that he was human, like me.

Pres. Dieter F. Uchtdorf spoke at the meeting...he truly was an inspired man!

Through my fumbling and inadequate words I would only take away from this extraordinary message he had prepared, but his talk brought me to tears, for he had touched on each subject that filled the void I had been feeling, and I know I must not be the only one because he wasn't just speaking to Jenn Collard of Cedar Valley Utah...he was speaking to ALL WOMEN.

His main points were : Forget not, to be patient with yourself -- Forget not the difference between a good sacrifice and a foolish sacrifice -- forget not to be happy now -- Forget not the "why" of the gospel and remember the Lord and savior will forget you not.

Please take the time to search out, find his Message and read it in its entirety.

Until then...they have released highlights of the meeting, they can be found at http://lds.org/pages/general-rs-meeting-2011?lang=eng

FIND BEAUTY IN EACH DAYS ORDINARY MOMENTS AND BE HAPPY!!

and take time to read, watch or listen to conference this weekend, I'm sure they will have a message just for you!
