Conference Weekend

Shane's parents came to visit for the weekend. They are usually off traveling the world for business, but finally their travels brought them to Nashville. Jada was so excited for them to come visit us!

In between Conference sessions on Saturday, we made our way to the Country Ham Fest in Spring Hill. We had a rootin' tootin' good time!

I got up early and went for a 6 1/2 mile run/walk on Saturday. Jada even walked/jogged most of the last mile with me! I set my iPod to shuffle and every now and then the Tabernacle Choir would come on. It was a nice start to conference weekend. My favorite song that they sing is Consider the Lilies... it always makes me a little teary, and sometimes in a downright cry. The simplistic lyrics help me remember how important we are in the Savior's eyes.



He loves all of his creations, big and small. "He clothes the lilies of the field, He feeds the birds of the sky." How easy it is sometimes to forget just how much he loves us. If he cares about the lilies of the field, something that is so simple and easily overlooked... then why would he ever forsake us? His atonement extends to everyone of us. All we need to do is have faith and believe that he loves us and will heal us. "He will heal those who trust Him."



I need that healing daily in my life and I am so grateful for it. Sometimes when we are stressed, depressed, or detached.. and not feeling so great about ourselves, it's hard for us to believe that He could love us in the state we are in. But that's when we need to put our faith into play even more. I have experienced His healing countless times in my life and that's why this song touches me so much. Conference was so great. It uplifts me so much and gives me a spiritual recharge and healing that I need. I'm so grateful for our leaders, they emanate the Savior's love and concern for us so flawlessly and I feel that as they speak and as they bear testimony of Him.
