So much has happened since the last time that I blogged. Lets see I think that I forgot to tell you that on December 28, 2008 I actually taught Relief Society. Can you believe it ? I know I always swore that I would never do that. When I was asked to give the lesson I said, "you don't know what you are asking of me. This is one of the biggest fears of my adult life." LOL!! I know that sounds silly, but I just don't have what it takes to do it. I asked what the lesson was on and it was "Come what may and Love it." When I heard this talk in conference it was one that really stuck out to me for some reason. All through his talk he gave examples of how we should react to life's challenges. We need to learn to LAUGH more. I thought to myself maybe I could give this lesson. I LOVE to laugh! he went on to say that we need to trust in the lord and find the good in all challenges that we might be facing. I couldn't believe that the lord wanted me to give this lesson. With all that has happened in the last year I thought to myself I CAN DO THIS. Maybe we had to go through some of the hardships so that I would push myself out of my comfort zone.I am so thankful for the challenges that the Lord has blessed me with. I can say that it has truly made me a better person. I gave the lesson and was seriously shaking in my boots (no joke I was really wearing boots LOL!) I am so glad that I can say, you know what I did it. I needed to do this to prove to myself that I am capable of facing one of my fears and doing my best. I don't know how great the lesson was, but I am so glad that I did it. I have never had my testimony grow more than preparing for that lesson. I said a prayer and in five minutes well not even that long my prayer was answered. I couldn't believe that the Lord answered me that fast. I know without a shadow of a doubt that he hears and truly does answer our prayers. I have never had that happen to me before. I know that he has answered my prayers in the past, but this was different. I had that answer come right in my head just like that. It was so humbling to me that it is still hard to talk about. I am so thankful for that wonderful opportunity to have that happen. I probably would have missed out on that one if I would have said no to that calling. I am just so glad that it is something that I don't have to do on a regular basis LOL ! I love being in nursery! I love to hang with my peeps!
