I haven't listened to a full session of Conference in years. Like maybe 7 or even 8. I have listened to talks here or there, but haven't really listened. I don't know if it is because of this squishy babe growing inside or what inspired me to get up this morning and listen... but I did. And it was amazing. I loved every single talk. I really loved the talk given by the Young Women's President that was directed towards new fathers, I cried most of that talk. I was reminded, that I need to re-read the Book of Mormon, after all my years of being unsure of the people in the church, I was reminded that it is not about them. It is about my relationship with God. and I want that. So, I'm making a goal... to read or re-read the Book of Mormon. By December 5. I will be 5 months along on December 5. So it seemed like a good date. The only problem is, I don't know where my scriptures from high school are. The ones inscribed with my maiden name on them, Kelli Michelle Payne. They are highlighted and have many glue ins. Although, I think maybe it would be good to start fresh and find my own new inspirations, instead of depending on the old. So I will have to go purchase a new quad set. I don't even know how much they cost. But I will. I am 3 months along on Wednesday, so I am giving myself 2 months. That seems like a really long time, but I know things come up... so I am going to try to stay on track. And find out what the Book of Mormon means to me, again. Can we talk about how AWESOME President Monson is, that guy is a fantastic speaker, he is so funny and still managed to have me in tears. What a great thing to have a modern day prophet.
I remember these feelings...
I hope I can keep it up and find strength for me and this little squishy human!
okay,
see ya!
Kelli
* after some advice, I may give myself a little bit more time for reading... just saying. :)
