I have been edified and enlightened this weekend by the beautiful talks that were given for stake conference yesterday and today. I always come away feeling lifted up in spirit as I hear the words of wisdom from our leaders, they are so inspired in their advice for us. It really does astound me to think that so many others are struggling with the same things that I am struggling with. Surely the Lord doesn't inspire someone to write a talk for just one person in the audience. Thus, many people need to hear the same things I need to hear. For some reason that comforts me.
The adult session focused on the importance of family history work. We were told some really neat stories about people being able to find their ancestors through the means of people that they have never met. I love hearing stories about how the Lord works in mysterious ways. These stories are proof to me of how the Lord has a hand in our lives. The Sunday session focused on feeling the inspiration of the spirit in our lives, living our standards, and thwarting Satan's efforts through constant prayer, scripture study, and focus on what is truly important.
I have been pretty overwhelmed lately. Actually it seems to be a recurring theme in my life that I am not very pleased about. I tend to wonder why it is that I get into situations where I feel overwhelmed. I question my ability to put my life in the right perspective. So, next week in particular is going to be beastly! My larger roles will include....teacher, preschool teacher, employee (24 hours next week), mother, maid, and cook. The problem is that I don't feel like I am excelling at any of them. For instance Zach. He needs me to be a great teacher, to give him my best and most undivided attention. Instead I am giving my all to stay awake and the rest goes to him and Jillian.
