Lately I have been exceptionally grateful that I belong to
It's created so many wonderful opportunities for me and given me so many blessings!
On Saturday we had a Stake Relief Society conference before we watched the broadcast and the whole evening/night was an uplifting experience for me! I'm so grateful for a Heavenly Father who knows our needs so personally and has created such a wonderful and perfect plan to help us be happy.
I'm so grateful for my Savior who atoned for me not only so I can repent of my sins and short comings but so that I can become better! I'm so grateful that his sacrifice is extended to all! That everyone that I love and care about can use his power to heal and help them! It's such a wonderful thing to understand how to access that blessing and I don't think I would understand it as clearly as I do if I was not a member of this great church. The only church that has the fullness of truth!
I'm so grateful that as a Latter-day Saint I am given the opportunity to make covenants with my Heavenly Father. I didn't understand on my baptism day what a blessing it would be to get baptized. I knew it was important and I knew it was something I wanted but I didn't understand to what extent. These days I see the influence of that decision in everything I do. It helps me to be happy! I'm so glad that I've been blessed to make covenants in the temple! I have a testimony that these covenants are necessary not only to achieve exaltation in the next life but to reach our full potential in this life.
I'm so excited to hear from our leaders this weekend! I'm so glad that I understand the importance of Prophets and Apostles! God is a God of order and I see that in the way that he has established his church. I'm grateful that they are called to help us know the will of God! As I hear about these feminist movements that are happening all over the church I can't help but feel sorry for these women. If they only understood what the gospel was all about. If they only understood their Fathers plan for them and the rest of his children. If they only softened their hearts enough to have the spirit witness to them that this is Christ's church and it has been restored in it's fullness! If they only understood how important their roles are the way God intended, they would
be so much happier!
If you would like to watch General Conference with me this weekend just head over to LDS.org. I promise that if you come in with an open heart it will bless your life just like it has mine! :)
