Uplifted...

Can I just say that General Conference is one of my favorite times of the year.  It has become like a Holiday in our family, but this one we celebrate twice a year.  How awesome is that!  I can't even put into words how much I enjoyed this past weekend.  Listening and learning from men and women who speak with the Spirit of God is truly a remarkable blessing.  I feel so invigorated and ready to take on the world.  Our family has been uplifted in so many ways.  Our love for each other has grown in the past two days.  Our appreciation of one another and the roles we have in our family have been more defined and we've made a commitment to support each other in becoming the person our Father in Heaven wants us to be.  

I've always enjoyed listening to the leaders words, but this time around was different for me.  I don't know what it was.  It felt more like Heavenly Father really wanted me to know that he loves me...just as I am, imperfections and shortcomings and bad days and especially in the moments I forget Him.  He's is absolutely aware of me and my truest desires; our little family and the goals we talk about and the hopes for each other that we don't discuss, but plan and pray for in our hearts. I also feel for the first time in a long time like He is proud of me.  Not because I'm exactly who He's intended me to be, but I'm trying to stay on the right path.  I'm working towards it and I know one million percent that He and my Savior are behind me...I hope everyone felt that way.  

I'm seriously giddy, this must be what it feels like to be delighted in the Gospel.  And I am so ready to conquer anything, starting with myself and my little family.  

This year just keeps getting more and more amazing!
