You Can't Always Get What You Want

Well I didn't get what I wanted. And I wanted it really bad. For months I've been trying to prep myself for this outcome, but it didn't matter. All the self talk & mental preparations didn't ease the blow. Because truthfully I felt good about it. I honestly believed in my gut that I was going to get in. I thought it would fall into place for me & that I would get what I wanted.

So now, I'm feeling pretty down. I'm trying to stay positive. Things will work out. Obviously the Lord has a different plan for me than what I wanted. He knows what I need is more important than what I want. The only problem is that I am having a hard time getting in tuned with His plan. It would be nice if I could know it cause I'm struggling now.

General Conference

This weekend was General Conference. And I loved every minute of it! As a kid I would watch conference with my mom & I would like a talk here or there, but most of the time I would get distracted. Now that I'm older I've found a deeper appreciation for these two days, every six months. The messages shared by the inspired leaders bring such peace & comfort to me. I would find things in each message that would be applicable to me and my life. It was amazing. I am so grateful to be a part of this church & gospel. I am grateful to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. And I am so grateful that I could spend the last two days hearing the Lord's council and encouragement through those spiritual leaders of the church.

If you didn't get a chance to hear the talks yet its okay cause I've provided a link for you to do so at your leisure. Enjoy! http://lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2011/04?lang=eng
