General Conference Saturday

 I listened.

But didn't really hear...at first. 

(Thank goodness for the printed messages)  

By the time the first session ended, my mind was swirling. 

I need to be more focused on the Savior. 

I need to be a better ministering sister. 

I started to cry while talking to my mom. 

Because my feet really hurt and I am so tired 

And I am failing at so many things. 


But then I was running errands between sessions, 

listening to a sweet little book on Audible. 

A boy was talking about a poem his father had written for him. 

And there was this line...

"I am the light that will never go out." 


I felt the Spirit of my Father. 

Saying those exact same words to me. 

And I was reminded for probably around the 600,000th time. 

That feeling of not being enough? 

That's the other guy.  

The guy that really wants you to think that God will not show up for you. 

And therefore get you to stop showing up for God. 


"I am the light that will never go out." 

That's the point of Conference. 

That's the point of ALL OF IT 

Lights that will never go out. 

Never abandon. 

God the Father and our Savior. 

What a blessing!
