This talk has been brought to my attention several times over the last six months and the Holy Ghost has been making it very known to me that I needed this one. There were things in this talk by Elder Jonathan S. Schmidt that I really needed to hear on a personal level. They say …
Are You Still Willing?
*** I miss our monthly family picture. However, my Sundays have changed a lot with my calling and, sadly, family pictures have not been happening. So instead, you get this nice, moody picture that we took at Rocky Mountain National Park last summer. *** Elder Kevin W. Pearson shared a beautiful and thought-provoking message about …
Our Earthly Stewardship
As soon as Bishop Causse mentioned the little town of Giverny in France, I was hooked. I am not entirely sure where my deep love for the art of Claude Monet began, but I have loved it for as long as I remember. I hope to one day visit this beautiful landscape that inspired so …
The Doctrine of Belonging
This talk by Elder D. Todd Christofferson was one of those talks, that as soon as I heard it, I knew it was going to be one of my favorites. I loved it. His words and counsel really resonated with me and I am so grateful for his thoughts on BELONGING. He spoke of diversity, …
Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Youth
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s talk was inspiring and uplifting and I loved it. I worry that it might be cast aside as “only for the youth” but I believe it is for each and every one of us. He may address the youth at times, but I know I needed this message as well. There …
Overcome the World and Find Rest
General Conference Oh sweet conference. My love for this weekend seems to grow every six months. The last couple months have felt chaotic and just FULL. And it was so refreshing and filling in the best way to spend a weekend with absolutely nothing on the calendar but time spent as family, watching and listening …
Our Heartfelt All
I am so very grateful that this talk by Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf is our final spotlighted talk from this last general conference because it left a powerful effect on me. It encompassed what really spoke to my heart this last conference, the subject of discipleship. This topic has really weighed on my heart a …
Divine Love in the Father’s Plan
I knew I wanted to share this talk for the last several weeks, but I have been at a loss about what I wanted to say. President Dallin H. Oaks’ talk was about the Plan of Salvation. We learn about “the plan” early on in our gospel learning. It essentially lays the foundation for everything …
Your Divine Nature and Eternal Destiny
Wow! This talk from Elder Dale G. Renlund, given in a session of conference that “concentrated on the concerns of latter-day Saint women”, was FULL of eternal truths. He focused his remarks around the young women theme and dived into the various doctrine within that. On a personal note, it was nice to read and …
Steady in the Storms
“We must become as a child – a little child.” I know we shouldn’t have favorites, and I mean it when I say I love and respect each member of the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve, but President Henry B. Eyring holds such a tender place in my heart. He always leaves me …
