~Time Out for Women~

This past weekend I was fortunate to attend, "Time Out for Women". Can I just say, it was amazing. It was the spiritual upliftment I needed. The topics where exactly what I needed to hear and the music touched my soul. I can't describe the spirit I felt as each speaker spoke from their heart. I learned so much that will help me continue my journey here on the earth as a wife, a mother, a friend and as a daughter of God.
There was a moment when Hilary Weeks was playing the piano and asked us to stop and ponder on something we Know...something we actually know in our hearts and minds. I wanted to share my thoughts: I know I am a daughter of a Loving Heavenly Father! I know I have an Elder Brother that knows me...and loves me still. I know I love Matt, always have, always will. I know I love being a mom. I also know, that if we live by the principles of the Gospel we will live happy, fulfilled lives. No one can deny that truth.
At this time of year it is a little easier to reflect on the things we're grateful for. I would like to share a few of my blessing during the month of November. I am grateful for my parents. They are amazing people. I know I got the best of both of them. I am grateful for my brothers and sisters. I love that I came from a large family, (as people outside of Utah would say.) I'm grateful that I am sealed to my husband, my best friend! He is my soul mate...my "Saturday's Warrior." I am grateful for my children. I learn something from them everyday.
I am grateful to be alive at this time. I love my life even with its heartaches and unexpected challenges. I hope you will take time this month to ponder on what you are truly grateful for.
