Our stake conference way way good this past weekend! Here are some of the key points:
1. Be an actor, not acted upon. Nephi was an actor but Lamen and Lemual were reactors. Take initiative and go and do!
2. Be less concerned about looking good and more concerned about how Heavenly Father looks at you. Wanting to look good often hinders us from doing what the Lord wants us to do: say hi to someone even if we forgot their name; talk to someone even though you are embarrased of saying something wrong.
3. In marriage, just say, your right. And never raise your voice in marriage-there's no need.
4. Learn to listen to the right spirit. There will be whisperings to give up, but that is not the Holy Ghost, he does not know that word. Even though a voice might make you feel calmed down, it could be the adversary giving you a false sence of security. To the spirit, if you do not make a temple session, it is not because you did not try! To the adversary, it is ok to give up because there's no point in being frustrated trying to get there and then you may not even make it anyway. Pick out these different voices and listen to the one that says, TRY.
5. Callings are never meant to separate a marriage. They will only bring a marriage closer. As one or both of a couple gets closer to the Lord, they will get closer together.
So my goals for today:
1. Listen to that voice that says, TRY TRY TRY!!! with all your heart. And recognize the give up voice and knock it out of my head.
2. Take initiative and not be lazy or negative, but positive and faithful
3. Keep the spirit with me all day.
I am thankful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life! The focus on persoal progression is amazing!
