General Conference

I am delighting in General Conference.  For those of my friends who are unfamiliar with General Conferece it is conference held by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints every October and April.  The Prophet and 12 Apostles address us as well as other church leaders.  I've felt so inspired to be better and rely more on the Holy Ghost.  Something that stood out to me and has helped shape my attitude in the last week was taken from the General Relief Society Conference (the meeting held for the women of the church.)  "The more you trust and rely upon the Spirit, the greater your capacity to create.  That is your opportunity in this life and your destiny in the life to come.  Sisters, trust and rely on the Spirit.  As you take the normal opportunities of your daily life and create something of beauty and helpfulness, you improve not only the world around you but also the world within you." President Dieter F. Uchtdorf.  I have tried to create something daily of beauty.  Sometimes it has been a smile or laugh from someone, sometimes a craft, sometimes a good meal.  Whatever it was I saw the effects it had on someone.  I created a small plaque for our keys. I hung it up and when Brian came home you should have seen his face.  He was so excited and loved the "touch it added" in our home.  I know that sounds silly but I saw how it "improve[d] the world (or our home) around [me]"  It touched inside me too.  I feel uplifted and enriched from the last two weekends.  I love knowing that God knows what I need.  He always teaches me through General Conference.  I feel like I know now what improvements I need to make to feel the power of the Holy Ghost stronger in my family, home and life in general.  For more info about the church and its beliefs see www.mormon.org
