Praying is...

A talk I heard and enjoyed was about praying and that it's not like talking on the phone. Cell phones give us instant gratification. Praying is a developed relationship with time, patience and faith. I enjoyed the comparison and it is a boost to be patient for answers.

Something that will Effect Us to Change

Stake Conference was today and it was a little rough for me. My husband and I had some disagreements, and he is sick, and I had to go to it alone with the kids. Our cousins helped but I was still bummed.
One of the talks said that we would hear something that will effect us to change. I can't remember exactly what was said but I know how I feel because of it. It was something to do with the Savior knows where I am and it is okay. He is there and I can be patient and wait for the changes for me to be happy. This effected me because it brought peace and hope. I have faith that my Savior knows I am struggling to be free from my health imbalances. It is okay that I have to wait to be healed or to figure it out. I am calmer now and I can accept that I can't feel the way I want to feel. One day I will and while I am waiting, the Savior knows about my struggle and can help me endure.
On my way home I still felt the burdens and stress, but I felt new perspective. I felt a different reality and I have hope in Christ. I am okay and He knows it too!
