Amazing

I have been fully edified this weekend. Even with other thoughts running through my head and having to deal with lots and lots of emotions, I have found this conference to be one of the best for me. Ever. 

I loved what President Monson had to say about change today and I loved Elder Nelson's talk on marriage. I also completely loved President Uchtdorf's talk about hope. This one is the talk that I was needing the most yesterday. What a beautiful message.

To be honest the entire 4 sessions of conference I watched was wonderful. I feel so uplifted right now and I know that, come what may, it will be what the Lord has in store for me. So, while today has been hard and it might get harder I know that Heavenly Father loves me, He has a plan for me, and that I won't have to go through this alone. Not at all. :) I hope you enjoyed your conference experience!

I cannot wait!!

I am so excited for General Conference this weekend. It is going to rock my socks off. I hope it rocks yours!!! It should be a fabulous 4 sessions full of good guidance and counsel. 

On another note...I changed the theme of my blog for the season! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. ;)

Apathy

how do you help someone who feels apathetic towards many things?

how do you help them get out of that "rut?" 

what do you tell them when they tell you that they feel apathetic, but at the same time they love being with you and don't want to let you go?

how do you help them when they say there is nothing you can do for them, but you know deep down there's got to be something?

HOW?????
