I am so full of gratitude!

We only have one session of conference left sad to say. :( There have been some amazing talks! I wanted to get on here and tell of a confirmation I had that these leaders are amazing people, who have the spirit so strong in there lives.
At the end of this session as it was showing our beloved Prophet Thomas S. Monson exit the pulpit area with his wife I was overwhelmed with the spirit testifying to me that this is a man of god, who gives us divine leadership for our day! He loves us all so much, and wants us all to make it back into our Heavenly Father's presence. If I do my part I know that I can do it, no matter how hard it seems at times. Repentance is real, and something I need to do more in my life. As I do so I know that I will grow spiritually. Presidant Monson's talk was all about service, and helping our brother's and sister's around the world. Being short on money I find myself using this as an excuse not to serve sometimes. Not a good thing for me to do. There are so many acts of sevice to be done. Calling someone who needs to talk, visiting the sick, racking leaves, watching kids for those who need it, help to clean peoples homes, and the list is never ending. Sometimes I catch myself being so caught up in my problems, that I forget the strength and power that comes with helping others with theirs. So many people have trials that are much more difficult and hard to deal with than mine by a long shot. It is my goal to be more service orriented, forget about myself and be more like my Savior Jesus Christ.
As I look to my Saviors example I know that I will be more apt to serve. I am so greatful for his love, and sacrifice. It is amazing to me that he should care for me enough to die for me. (I took that from one of our church Hyms) It truely is though, I can't imagine any greater love than that! The chance to feel his love everyday in my heart and soul is mine, if I do those things which will invite the spirit, and turn away from the things that bring me down. Yet again not always an easy thing to do. I will continue to make mistakes, but I will also be striving to do my best every day. He understands that I am not perfect, and loves me still. No matter what I do, I will have my Father in Heavens, and my Saviors love. Whether or not I let them manifest it to me is something completely up to me. As long as I do my best the Savior took care of the rest. Something I will never be able to repay, so it is my job to not take it for granted.
I know this church is true, not because someone told me it is, but because I have felt it in my heart. I feel my Saviors and Heavenly Father's love for me constantly. They reach out to me in times of trial and cary me through. I am so great full for a Prophet on the earth today, who recieves revelation for our time. I am greatful for my beautiful family. I have a wonderful husband who loves my children and I very much. My children are gifts from above. They have such amazing spirits, and when I hold them I can feel how important and special they are to their Father in Heaven. It is my work to raise them in a way that they know how important and loved they are. This is some of my testimony, my heart was very full, and I knew that I needed to share it.

Conference this weekend!!!

I love conference! Really, no joke love it. We get to sit back and listen to inspired leaders of the church talk to us. It would be great if it were more than twice a year. I like to take notes in my journal of things that I learn, and that stick out to me. Then at a later date when I feel as though I need some extra guidance I pull them out. Works every time to help give me a boost.
Watching conference gives me the extra get up and go needed. It always comes around when it seems I need it the most. Amazing how things work like that! :) I get to a point where I literally yearn to hear what the prophet has to share with us, he is such an inspired man who I love dearly.
On many occasions I have had things weighing me down, things that I get so concerned about, and don't really know what to do. Watching conference, or reading the talks later without a doubt gives me hope, and helps me in direction of what needs to be done. It is so great!!
Right now there seems to be a lot on my mind, things I am somewhat worried about. Don't get me wrong, I know everything happens for a reason, and I am growing from my experiences. Just in the moment sometimes it seems as though you are so far sunk you don't know what to do. Even in these moments there is a comfort I can not explain. I feel my Saviors love for me, pulling me through every moment of every day. For that I am eternally great full. I would not be able to make it though life without it. Not only am I blessed with his amazing love, but also the love and support of an amazing family. Makes my "trials" not so big when I realize I have so much love and support to make it through. Even with this I still need the guidance from my beloved Prophet and Apostles. Thank goodness it is this weekend! :)
For those of you who might not know what it is, I will explain a little bit. Two times a year we have the opportunity to turn on our TVs, go to a church building, or attend the actual conference itself. Leaders will give inspired talks, that can help in everyday life. They talk about a lot of different topics. Mostly centered around praying, scripture study, testimonies, missionary work, and so on. There will be funny stories, uplifting stories, and of course very spiritual ones as well. They usually are all wrapped in one. If this is something you would like to check out feel free to look at this website for more info. www.mormon.org also there is another one you can look at. www. lds.org
Thank you for taking the time to read, I will have more posts about conference and other things that come to mind soon. :)
