For so long my eyes were closed. My ears as well. I chose to close them. Nobody closed them for me. I did it. Made that desicion for myself. Impressive, I know! sheesh.... who am I kidding?!
This weekend and for the past 3 years, my eyes, ears, senses... everything....are open. I also made that decision for myself. (smile)
Ok, so now I am going to be honest. This october LDS conference is the FIRST time I have ever at down and listened to the talks the ENTIRE TIME! Guilty! I have NEVER done that. I have always done what I wanted too. I could listen later right?! When I said that I was closed off not too long ago, I was. Conference weekend was a day off! I could do whatever I wanted! I didn't have to go to church and I knew the talks would be written down and I could seek them when I wanted. I seldom did... Because when my senses were closed, they were closed for a reason. I didn't want to hear certain things. Especially the things that I perhaps was doing wrong. Denial is a great place to be..... ugh.
Why do I tell you this?! Because this weekend I was touched. My soul was opened even further. This specific Conference gave me hope, peace, clarity and a feeling of love from my Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. I already have a testimony of the Gospel. But now I have a testimony of conference and the inspiration that it can give. These were a few of my favorites. Here and here and here. If you haven't seen it, take the time to do so. The words are beautiful.
