Come Listen to a Prophet's Voice

This weekend I got the pleasure of watching General Conference, as I'm sure all of you did since I think the only people who read my blog are LDS.  It was such a wonderful conference and I gained so many amazing insights.


After listening to the words of prophets and apostles, I can't help but be filled with optimism.  I think that's why we're given them, too.  Heavenly Father knows life is hard for us and that we would give up if we didn't have something to give our faith a boost to last us another 6 months until we can hear new words of wisdom all over again.  


Anyways, the thing that I took the most out of was marriage.  Maybe that's because they talked about it so much - or not at all according to Lauren.  Maybe it seemed like so much to me because they said everything that's been weighing on me so heavily lately.  I think a lot of why I've been feeling so alone is because... well... I am alone.  I have friends and family and guy friends... But I don't have a boyfriend or even someone that I like really.  As an LDS girl in college, that's really hard.  Especially when I'm in all junior level classes where everyone is either married, engaged, or about to be engaged.  It's rough when you try to do your part, you try to dress nice, fix your make-up, fix your hair, stand up straight (or at least try, Mom), and try are friendly to the people you meet, and nothing comes out of it.  It makes you wonder why you even try.


Conference fixed all of that, though.  Richard G. Scott, I think it was him at least, is the one that helped the most.  He talked about how sometimes we're trying and nothing seems to be working and it seems that we're never going to get married or have kids, but if we have faith in the Lord, it will happen.  He will make it happen for us when it's supposed to happen and we just have to keep doing our part and keep trying.  


That is exactly what I needed to hear.  I have such a testimony of Conference and that the Lord knows what we're struggling with and as long as we're doing what we should be doing, He will give us what we need to be okay and get by. We are never alone; He will always be there looking out for us and proving a way to accomplish all things - we just have to have the faith.
