This past weekend was General Conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I love General Conference. Love love love love love it.
I remember being younger and thinking, "Really? I'm required to stay awake and listen to 8 hours worth of church meetings this weekend?" and now I'm thinking "Really? It's over already? Done? No! Can't we just continue this next weekend?"
I feel so blessed to be able to hear from living prophets and apostles in these times. We can read the words of prophets past and gone in the scriptures which is amazing but it's also astounding how we are still provided with that guidance of a prophet on the earth today.
Their words were full of hope and love and instructions on how to draw closer to our Heavenly Father. General Conference just gets me pumped up about life and a renewed resolve to be a better person. My perspective on life shifts back to where it's supposed to be. I remember what's important and what's not. I love it.
Other things I love about Conference Weekend - spending the whole weekend in my pajamas cuddling with my husband being spiritually fed on the words of God while also being physically fed on home-made biscuits and gravy :)
It was amazing, but I didn't get to stay in my pajamas and have biscuits and gravy!
