The REAL May 3rd Post

Back on schedule. But don't know what to talk about. Oh! How about stake conference. And me repenting a bit!
I was REALLY dreading stake conference this past weekend. It really filled up my Saturday with the Youth Session (leaders too!) and then the Leadership session and then Adult Session. And I did not want to dedicate myself that much. I murmured. A lot. You may have heard it? And now I am repenting. I forced myself to go to all of the sessions on Saturday and the Sunday general session and I was blessed. Despite my bad attitude, I was blessed to learn and grow and feel the spirit in each meeting. I really enjoyed all of it.
Jeremy & I have hardly seen each other for the last 2 weeks and I could have easily justified ditching any of the Saturday sessions to spend time with him. But one of the blessings I received from being where I was supposed to was that I felt like the time away from him actually helped me feel closer to him. Unlike the last 2 crazy weeks where we've just had a lot of stuff going on.
I feel like I'm rambling a little. But I am glad I went. And hopefully next time I will be grateful for the opportunity and not whiny about the time commitment.

Glad you were happy about how it all worked out. It's always nice when we can feel the spirit even when we're not looking forward to it.
