This morning my family and I got up AFTER 8am, got ready and headed to church. We were only 10 minutes late! I was worried this would start us off to a bad day, but thankfully the angels were smiling on us.
The last few weeks I have really been aching for the kind of lesson or talk that makes you desire to be/do better in a way that is good and not feeling guilty. Today was the day.
We had youth speakers talk about their adventures to Youth Conference, and by the time the leaders got up to speak I was sucked in. There wasn't anything specifically said (that I can remember), it's just the spirit they carried it in. I appreciate so much the leaders of our ward and what a good job they do, especially with the youth.
I then got to sub in primary with one of my friends. Just being there and listening to her talk to the kids and the manner that she takes in teaching and helping her class, she's amazing. I was so impressed with how she involved the kids and didn't just make it her time to talk. I wish I were better with words, there is so much feeling that this gave me that I just don't know how to share.
Tyler gave a talk in sharing time, so Chris and I stayed for the beginning before heading off to Relief Society. He is such an smart and funny kid. He remembered he had a talk during the END of sacrament (he didn't tell me at all last week). I handed him the FRIEND and he went to work finding a talk. He showed me what he wanted and that was that. Then, when he got up to speak, he picked a different topic, one that was talked about in Sacrament because he thought it was more fitting. I am so proud of him. I can't wait to see what he does with himself when he grows up. He will be an amazing missionary!
I wasn't looking forward to RS, I just haven't gotten my cup filled in the last few week. I know it's my state of mind, but I have really been searching for some "perfect" words to bring me the knowledge I've needed. I was pleasantly surprised when this week I went in looking for nothing and had my cup runneth over. I left feeling delightfully full and thankful for my blessings and the knowledge that there is a Heavenly Father and He loves me. I love knowing He will never give up on me and will carry me when I'm feeling it's too hard. I left with the desire to come back for more and I'm looking forward to next week.
