Conference!!!!

I am a faithful General Conference watcher......
This weekend was no exception. I loved that we got to stand in Solemn Assembly for our New Prophet. What an amazing feeling. Two amazing talks that I really enjoyed were from Joseph B. Worthlin and M. Russell Ballard. I love that Elder Worthlin said something to the effect that our church doesn't have a sign on it that says you have to be this certain kind of person to come in. I loved that Elder Ballard simply but eloquently said a few things that we can do as Mothers and as Husbands to help nuture our children and ourselves.

*Sorry for all the deep thoughts lately.... this is one of those!!! Feel free to skip if you wish.
I feel like i've been in the biggest rut ever. Those talks helped me so much. I can remember times in my life when I felt like I belonged and loved in one location and others when i've been the one sitting on the sidelines watching from a big distance. (That's kind of how i'm feeling now.) I know i'm not alone. So when I listened to those talks they helped me to know that I am definately loved. My prayers have been answered. I am truly blessed with what I have been given. I know that I am trying my best as a mom and my priorities are in line most of the time. My husband is someone that I admire, look up to and am proud to say is my best friend. I have an awesome family network that supports me (actually the best family ever) and a couple of really great friends who have been there for almost everything in my life. (Thanks You Know Who You Are.) I feel like it's okay for me to be who I am and not have to "fit the mold" that some people place on their "neighbors", "sisters "and "friends". I just need to remember that and not get so caught up in what it would be like to be in the "in" and focus on the happiness that I have been blessed with and the gifts that Heavenly Father has placed in my life with a purpose and meaning.
