So today, I woke up and I felt pretty crumby. I have had a cold and I did not feel good at all. Robert has also been getting sick and he was not feeling up to par either. I called the primary president and told her we wouldnt be there for nursery and I called September, who is a LIFESAVER, and she told me that she and Travis would do it for us. Well, I got to thinking and reviewing the past week, and I really felt a strong need and desire to go to church. I went with Mama Jen to her ward, which is a singles branch. It was such an inspiring sacrament meeting. I know that I was meant to hear the things that were said. I have been struggling with some things and I was so glad that I had opened my heart to the things that were said. One of the speakers, who I would LOVE to set up with one of my sisters, talked on our relationships with the Lord. He based his talk on proving the Lord. He talked about how Satan will not try to get us to fully disobey, but by partial disobedience we become weak. His whole talk was absolutely incredible and he closed it with a challenge to pick one thing that we can improve on and in our prayers to let Heavenly Father know we were working on that and to ask Him to help us to see the blessings that come from it. Not only would be letting Heavenly Father know we are trying a little harder, but we are also asking Him to help make our blessings clear to us. I loved that. Anyway, a special musical came next. I thought it was going to be a Poor Wayfaring Man because the girl started talking about how this woman had served him with all that she had even though she was poor and had taken him in and washed his feet with her tears, etc. Well, the name of the song was Go in Peace. It gave me chills and it reassured me that if we are doing all that we can to serve Heavenly Father, we will have peace. I wish I could find the lyrics and put them on here...I will research it! It was exactly what my ears/heart needed to hear. I know that we can all be happy and at peace. I truly do wish that for us all. I am going to make a stronger effort to read my scriptures daily and I am going to ask Heavenly Father to help show me the blessings from it. I hope you all can challenge yourselves as well. I love you all and look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Thanks Chare, I needed to read this. Can you ask Jennifer to ask the guy for a copy of his talk. I would love to read it! Or she can give me his email address and I'll ask him myself. I also want to see the lyrics to this song. I'm glad that this helped you. I can't wait to hear all about it.
It is always nice when we attend a meeting and feel the true spirit of a message. I will take your challenge and try harder. I think sometimes I get so wrapped up in doing it all that I forget to focus on one thing at a time. I am glad that you found some "Peace". I am looking forward to Conference and listening to the messages and feeling the spirit. I really do love the primary I know that it serves a very importance purpose in the lives of our children and those that serve there but sometimes it is hard to remember and to feel the spirit each week. Love you...0
We so all need to find that inner peace. Luckily, when we have lost it briefly, we can always find our way back to it.
I am so happy that you posted this. I needed to hear something that you mentioned. :) Thank you.
