I really do not have the words to write how wonderful it was i was so so touched. The Lords loves us so much and that love is so apparent in the talks given at conference. i especially need to hear the talk For peace at home by Richard G Scott, I just loved the whole talk since my little kids take all my time it was awesome to hear a talk just about raising kids and having a peaceful home! i really reall really needed to hear the sentace at the end "We need not worry if we can’t simultaneously do all of the things that the Lord has counseled us to do. He has spoken of a time and a season for all things. In response to our sincere prayers for guidance, He will direct us in what should be emphasized at each phase of our life. We can learn, grow, and become like Him one consistent step at a time." so often i fall into the guilt trap, okay i wont lie, i pretty much camp out in the guilt trap. I pull myself out and go on but i keep my foot there all the time. I think a lot of moms do that. i think "i made a good lunch for my kids" but then i think "well that's prideful who do i think i am? , besides the house is a wreak the kids are still in their pj's, the floor has needed moped for who knows how long....." i also find myself on those hard days with the kids thinking "i am not fulfilling my potiental, i am counseled by the Lords servants to get an education, and to prepare food storage and do family history work" so i really loved hearing "We need not worry if we can’t simultaneously do all of the things that the Lord has counseled us to do." i knew that but i need to HEAR that. It also made me feel better about all those things i want to do like my hair everyday, ha ha ! The train of thoughts i am trying to overcome would be my negative thinking, that guilt thought process that i just talked about, so Elder Hollands talk was also perfect for me to hear, "Sometimes we act as if an honest declaration of doubt is a higher manifestation of moral courage than is an honest declaration of faith. It is not!"
i also was really touched by elder Cooks talk Personal peace. The world has so many ideas about what will give you happiness, we as members of Gods church in the earth KNOW how to find peace even in the worst of times. What a joyful thing! My sister Jessica is on her mission right now (and several cousins) i am so happy that they are sharing that knowledge to others in the world!
You know what... actually ALL of the talks where perfect which is alwasy the case, they are inspired.
The kiddos watched more of confrence then i expected! Picture time!
it rained between sessions and Eli loved it!, we finger painted, and our tree showed us its beautiful blossoms!
