Oh how blessed I am!

It was conference weekend this last weekend. As I was listening to the talks I couldn't help but think, 'I am so blessed.' I feel His love all the time and I see His creations everywhere I look. All I need to do is open my eyes more. I have to admit; some days it is harder to see things clearly and I get a little discouraged in the fog of life.

I can't remember who it was speaking, but all of the sudden, it hit me. It was exactly what I needed to hear. He was speaking right to me and I totally felt the spirit and His love for me. Conference was just what I needed and I am so glad to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

I know I would not be the person I am today with out the examples of those around me and the gospel in my life. I especially wanted to thank my mom. She has been such an example to me of strength and leadership. Not to mention her faith in the gospel.

The gospel helps me see the big picture. Most of the time I get caught up in my earthly life I forget to see the big picture. So this weekend was a great reminder of how I can be better and how I can be a better latter-day saint. Not to mention a better mother for my children and a wife.

I feel blessed to have the priesthood in my home and a husband that is very supportive in his role. My family has been sealed in the temple for time and all eternity. I have two beautiful girls. My family is my world. Our friends are supportive and encourage us to be the best people we can be. Here in Yakima I have felt at home-most of the time. I am sure our ward has a lot to do with that and I am so grateful to them. Especially, the ones that treat us like we are family. I am so blessed to have all these things in my life. Having my prayers answered and knowing that I can turn to anyone for help. Especially, my Heavenly Father.

I look forward to the next conference in October. I am going to continue to clear this foggy view of mine. By focusing on what really matters makes all the difference.
