Luckily It's Sunday

It took EVERYTHING to drag myself out of bed this morning. That VERY RARELY happens. That's when I realized this was going to be one of those hard days. A turning point maybe? Not a major one, but I knew I needed something today. Luckily it's Sunday.

I wasn't disappointed. The talks in Sacrament Meeting were really good. One especially touched me. The sister that spoke talked about wedges or things in our lives that keep us from doing certain things. I think I may have a few wedges in my life which may have made today especially difficult. Not necessarily sins, just things that I haven't taken control of, but have let control me.

Then in Relief Society the lesson was on THIS TALK. I love President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talks. Walking away from church today I just came to the realization that I need to have faith and love and listen to my Heavenly Father better than I am. If I am doing these things, He will be there guiding my every step and bringing happiness to my life. I know that is what true happiness is--faith and trust in Him.

Already I feel peace. Luckily it's Sunday.

SOME QUOTES FROM TODAY THAT I LOVE:

No, God does not need us to love Him. But oh, how we need to love God!

For what we love determines what we seek.

What we seek determines what we think and do.

What we think and do determines who we are—and who we will become.

As you reach out to your Heavenly Father, as you pray to Him in the name of Christ, He will answer you. He speaks to us everywhere.

As you read God’s word recorded in the scriptures, listen for His voice.

During this general conference and later as you study the words spoken here, listen for His voice.

As you visit the temple and attend Church meetings, listen for His voice.

Listen for the voice of the Father in the bounties and beauties of nature, in the gentle whisperings of the Spirit.

In your daily interactions with others, in the words of a hymn, in the laughter of a child, listen for His voice.

If you listen for the voice of the Father, He will lead you on a course that will allow you to experience the pure love of Christ.
