This weekend is not only Easter, but also General Conference. Basically a spiritual feast of a weekend and I can't wait!
Another one of my good friends, who is also writing a blog for school down in Southern Utah, posted this awesome thought about General Conference that got me thinking. (http://kelli-lyn.blogspot.com/2015/03/preparing-for-general-conference.html. She is my favorite and I love the thoughts she posts).
If you weren't about following the link and reading her thoughts, in a nutshell it talked about how when we prepare for General Conference, or really any spiritual meeting, we are able to receive answers to questions. Questions of the soul even. How special is that? How many people can say they receive answers to deep life questions they have on a regular basis? Because I have also had the same experience that Kelli has - when I prepare and think of questions and ask Heavenly Father those questions in prayer, I always receive an answer to those questions. For example, today for the Saturday morning session of conference, I had a specific question in mind. And it seemed like every single talk either focused solely on that topic or at least touched on the topic. I received so much revelation. What a huge blessing. It is definitely at testimony to me that Heavenly Father loves us so much and He wants us to have those answers and guidance. The help is there, the light is available, but we have to put forth the effort to take the steps to seek and find that help and light.
So from here on, I want to continue to keep those spiritual habits I gained on my mission. To continue to develop them and be better at them. Because Heavenly Father has a lot more answers for me. I know that as I ask those questions, He will answer. And when I act on those answers and apply them, I will achieve more happiness and peace in my life.
I like how you talked about thinking about your questions before you watch conference. Having those things on your mind that are bothering you in your life will help you to see the lords answer in everything you ponder. Conference sometimes can but most of the time wont just magically apply! Things need to be on your mind, and we can take into consideration, everything that is said. :)
