Time of for Woman was a dose of the right medicine! I thoroughly enjoyed it. The speakers spoke to my heart and soul. I am a better person for it. I had been somewhat "down" the past month or so and this lifted my spirit. The theme was Infinite Hope and it actually made me feel hopeful. Imagine that. I left with a renewed love of not only my Savior but of myself. I knew that I could keep living this life. That I could be happy for the rest of my life if I choose to be.I heard woman speak who were righteous and had righteous desires that have been unfulfilled but they are steadily marching on. They were still happy, still conquering, still loving.
I'm super glad I had the chance to go with my mom and sister.
I bought this amazing book that I have so loved. It's called MEE Speaks by Mary Ellen Edmunds (she's one of my heroes) and Renee had her sign it for me on the chapter titled, On Being Single. She wrote, Sandra, Hang in there, He loves you. It's true. He does love me!
In my testimony Sunday I said something I've been thinking about. I said, "The question isn't how much He loves me but how much I love him." How am I showing that love? One of the speakers mentioned praying for the spirit to guide her daily and for her to recognize it. I've decided I will include that in my prayers as well as praying for charity. I want to have charity so that I can return to live with my Heavenly Father. So I can be with my family for eternity. And charity is the way to have it. I've got to trust in my Heavenly Father to make me complete. I will live by Proverbs 3:5, "Trust in the Lord with all thine heart' and lean not unto thine own understanding."

This was almost as edifying as TOFW, maybe you should be one of the speakers one day.
I am glad you enjoyed it!
