Conference

I LOVED General Conference, not that I don't usually love it, but this time I really enjoyed it. Sarah loved the music and loved "conducting" the choir. She was actually pretty quiet and good, so that we could get as much out of it as we could. There were a few talks that really spoke to me. Elder Ballard's on mothers was something that I really needed to hear. I have been having some hard weeks the last couple of weeks, see the last post, and I am going to be honest and admit that there has been a part of me that has wanted to go back to work. So hearing his talk was like an answer to my prayers, I know that I would enjoy working outside of the home, I LOVE helping others, but at the same time, I LOVE being a Mom as well. I love being the one at home with her when she says a new word, or wanders the room with her arms folded saying a prayer-she says "Ame" when she is finished. I love cuddling with her and watching her grow with her interaction with Ryan. I love being the one that Creed comes home to and being able to spend all evening with him. He is an amazing husband. I think that I just needed the reassurance that what I was doing was indeed worthwhile, sometimes it doesn't feel that way, and that this is what I am suppose to be doing. I also loved the talk about the things that we can "delight" in, I forget who gave it. It reminded me that I have tons of things that I love and that are noteworthy. This month one of my goals is to write in a journal 3 times a week, and this talk along with the quote Elder Ballard used about living in the moment has given me some topics to write about. I also loved the talks by the new Prophet, and his counselors. Their testimonies really hit me and spoke to me. All in all it was WONDERFUL!
