3 Ways to Get More from General Conference

We love conference! It is a special weekend filled with uplifting talks and music. We enjoy the comfort of home while we are fed spiritually and find guidance for our own path. 

But now that it's over, how can we make the most of what we've heard?

Here are a few ideas:

1. Listen to it again anywhere you can. 

Being spiritually lifted is for every day, not just Sunday. So listen to it as you do chores, ride in the car and as you exercise. Let your family see it becoming a part of every day. 

2. Take time to record personal impressions. 

Every prayer that is offered at conference asks for us to have our own questions answered and our own revelation received. The best way I've found to do this, is to stop to record my own thoughts. 

Then, as Elder Scott mentioned in a talk before he passed away, ask God "is there more insight to be received?" 

Many times, we get the tip of the iceberg during conference and our seeking gives us a deeper understanding of our own revelation.

3. Share with your friends and family. 

As we teach what we learn to others, our own understanding deepens. So take the time to share with your family the impressions you've received. 

Teach them what you've been taught and watch their own understanding and insight increase.

Conference happens twice a year, but we can glean from it every day!

  Photo by Jakob Owens on Unsplash We want to be the perfect parent for our kids. We don't want to screw them up. We put a lot of effort into helping them succeed.  We watch them grow up and it is rewarding, some of the time. And some of the time it is hard. Sometimes they do things that we don't want them to. Sometimes we do things that they don't want us to. What our kids don't always understand is that as parents, we are still learning how to grow up too.  We don't have everything figured out yet.  But we do everything we can do to help them succeed. It is one of our greatest desires. So why is parenting so hard sometimes? Because it is supposed to be. It is how we keep growing and becoming better people. It is true that even though we are supposed to know how to parent, we really don't sometimes. And one of the best things we can do for our kids is to be willing to admit that to them. It is a game changer. They stop accusing us, and we stop pretending we ha...

The Tree of Life in Feelings

Image
Every time I read the scriptures, I get something different from it because of where I am in my life. This happens a lot to us when we study the scriptures. I had an interesting study of Lehi's vision of the Tree of Life.  We all know the different elements of the dream but I looked at the dream in a unique way focusing on the feelings that come from being in each place, and it was fascinating, so I wanted to share. This is what I came up with:  Place = Feeling * In a dark and dreary waste = lost * Large and spacious field = small * Tree of life = exceeding great joy * Searching for family = yearning * Wanting them to partake = hopeful * River of filthy water = engulfed * Standing by and not moving = stagnant/unsure * Rod of iron & strait and narrow path = determined * Mist of darkness = confused * Casting eyes about after partaking of fruit = ashamed * Great & spacious building = prideful * Fell down and partook of the fruit = relieved This is interesting because we s...

FEAR NOT, I AM WITH THEE...(Click HERE) Never in the history of this world has God NOT been in control.  Nothing ever surprises Him. We can trust that He knows us and our needs. Nothing shocks Him. He teaches us every chance He gets. Maybe what we all need is a good dose of TRUST in Him. I love the hymn in the link above.  And this morning as I thought about what to share with you, this verse came into my mind.  Please take heart in this time of uncertainty, and REST IN HIM. What would it look like for you to live without fear today? Take precaution, but CREATE joy in your life today and trust IN GOD.
