Wow. Conference, as always, was very inspiring. Although I also feel inadequate, like I'll never measure up. I especially enjoyed Elder Bednar's talk on prayer and Elder Eyring's talk on Unity. Two areas I also need to work on a great deal.
I started reading in the Book of Mormon tonight. Instead of starting at the beginning, I decided to start in the middle of Helaman, since that's where we are in Sunday School. I've read first Nephi so many times, I practically have it memorized! I started with Samuel The Lamanite's sermon to the Nephites. Which is probably contributing to my feelings of inadequacy. I'm afraid I can identify quite well with the Nephites. As soon as things start going right, I start becoming complacent and lazy in my religion.
Nothing for it but to try to do better. We'll keep track here every day and see where we are in April at the next Conference.
It's late and I need to get to bed. See you all tomorrow.
As always,
Hopeful.
About Me
- Hopeful
- I am the oldest of 8 children, and therefore, IN CHARGE. I've always been accused of being bossy, although my real intent is to be helpful. I'm a perfectionist who is much harder on myself than those around me. I can understand they are human but deny myself the same luxury. I was a music education major in college, but quit to get married. I am now working in the training department of a pharmaceutical manufacturer. I have been divorced almost 10 years now. I live in Salt Lake City with a teenage daughter and a cat. We have been recently joined by a teenage neice who is attending LDS Business College.
