Wonderful Words
I know most of you have probably watched or heard this long ago...but I tivo'd Women's Conference and watched it tonight because Kim has to work late and I was wanting to catch up on things I have meant to do. I love to hear the Prophet and leaders of the church speak...I ALWAYS fells like they are speaking just to me. It is really great that they would write the talks with me in mind. That is one thing that I love about the gospel. Heavenly Father answers prayers. Not always like we think, want or in our time frame...but sometimes no or not now is an answer too. Not the ones I like, but even those are an answer. I especially enjoyed President Dieter F. Uchtdorf's talk. I am so guilty of getting down and not trying to serve others and help others. It is all too easy to feel sad and then want to keep to yourself. I have been working harder to not be sad or upset when people ask why we don't have kids, but it still hurts. Of course we want kids..and since we just celebrated our 5th anniversary more people at church are starting to ask what is the wait. See there I go feeling sad again...I should do as he said and find someone and help them to feel better and uplift them. That is my goal this week....not to focus on trying to find things to make me feel better, but to help others feel better and more loved. I just loved this quote... James Barrie, the author of Peter Pan said: “Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.” I want sunshine, so it looks like I need to bring it to others. I think that is worthy goal. If you have not already heard this talk, I encourage you to read it...http://www.lds.org/conference/talk/display/0,5232,23-1-947-37,00.html. Hope you have a great night or day...which ever it is when you are reading this.

Hey Jill-
I agree with you....love to hear the leaders speak...peace to our souls...such a cliche but it is true!
Sorry for your fertility woes. I ache for you and all the comments bring it back to the surface doesn't it. 2 of my close friends in our Branch(and moms of 3 preschool kids) are pregnant. I was suprised and how hard I took the news.
Anyway....it does get better and it is OK to be sad:) I saw a counselor from LDS Family Services to help me sort through my feelings...it helped tremendously. Hang in there!
