I LOVE Conference. It has been harder to listen to now that we have little energetic Jaxon in our lives - but I still love it and love the messages! Women's conference last weekend was amazing and I'm sure everyone has seen the pictures circling around with the forget-me-not flowers and the 5 things President Uchtdorf talked about. His talk was amazing. Although I love ALL the talks, there are a few general authorities that are just AMAZING - Uchtdorf was added to this list awhile ago and I love it when he speaks. In today's morning session he said something that hit me REALLY hard for some reason. I was actually in the other room when he said it and so I don't know if I got the quote down exactly right, but it went something like...
Compared to God, we are nothing, but to God, we are everything.
Wow - I think I have always focused on the compared to God we are nothing part - but his talk was such a wonderful reminder that everything God does is FOR us. The world was created FOR us. He wants us to succeed and be happy. To God - we are everything! How amazing! I can't wait for the rest tomorrow!
That was my favorite talk today too. :) I just love that man. He always seems to be able to say something that I need to hear.
ReplyDelete"You matter to Him." He said that so many times in that talk. It was amazing. And so was his talk from the RS session. I didn't get to see it until later since I had no one to watch Owen and I completely forgot I could have watched it online. I'm just so glad the church posts the videos on their website for people like me. :) Conference has been so great so far...I can't wait to hear tomorrows. And tomorrow Sean will be off so he'll be able to watch it with us! Well, not so much Owen, he watches his little TV and plays. Lol. Elder Perry's talk was good too...the last one of the day. Sharing my belief is something I've never been great at and his talk just made me see that I don't have to try to convert someone, just show them who I am. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the quote. And wanted to vote for the purple bedding. :) I love the pink one, but just remember getting SO sick of pink after Haven was born...it seemed like 80% of her clothes were pink, and her toys, and bibs, and...you get the picture. Her bedding was light blue with strawberries on it, and I was always so happy to have a relaxing break from all that pink. :) Both bedding sets, though, are adorable! You can't really go wrong!
