Eat, Read, and Be Mommy

That’s what Reed Benson at BYU would say about modern day revelation and the teachings of the living prophet, and he was right.  You’ll note that I completely spaced Friday’s post; I’d decided to listen to all of October’s General Conference–the twice-a-year sermons from our church leaders–between Wednesday and Saturday morning, when April’s General Conference started.  (I was actually aiming for Friday night, but that didn’t happen.  I made it by 9-ish on Saturday morning, though–April’s sessions started at 10!)  I was both inspired and reminded of what I wanted to be focusing on in my personal and spiritual growth.

This weekend’s General Conference brought another wave of inspired messages, and I look forward to studying them in the weeks and months ahead.  (Now that I can listen to them on my phone–and have been doing so for months–I’m blown away by how much more I get out of them.  You miss SO MUCH trying to listen to talks and parent at the same time…)  I stumble and struggle in my commitments to my Savior–especially in making Him the center of my life instead of getting lost in daily and weekly tasks, commitments, and projects–but I’m trying.

May all of us find the guidance and growth we seek in this life.  I am grateful for the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, which lights the path that I work to follow in faith.  I am also grateful for a living prophet–and for Today’s News Today.
