Ready

Conference this weekend was great. I'm sure many of the highlights for me were also highlights for you. I started crying in the first session during the opening hymn and then the prayer when the seventy who was praying asked a blessing on the mothers. I think I set a new personal best for how fast the tears flowed. For me right now, better than loving and appreciating the new prophet, better than all the inspiring words, better than the beautiful music, is the feeling I'm walking away with. It dawned on me this morning while listening that my innermost desires are to progress spiritually. This is really what is most important. No holding back, no making excuses, it's time for me to devote a much greater amount of energy to things that really matter. I know that I have a Heavenly Father who desires to come to me, but He can only as much as I come to Him. I'm the one holding back in that equation. I can't wait for the talks to post so I can read them online until I get the hard copy in the mail. I'm sad to see one of the best two weekends of the year already coming to an end. I hope it was a great one for you, too!
