Being Co-D (and trying not to be that!) I want to share every solitary feeling about every scripture and talk I've read about the value of General Conference. Surely I know that you have your own excitement level! Of course you are aware of the same things as I am and yet...this drive to share and tell and relate and repeat just reveal that I'm gobsmacked before the event even happens!!!
You know that I keep making reference to having a hard time trying to adjust and figure out how to manage my life. Last week, 1:30am, I sat sobbing in my chair and feeling I could not wake my friend up and I felt alone and needed to talk to someone and there was no one available. And then...the Spirit let me know...I'm here. Talk to me. Pray. And so I did. Seeking answers...how can I manage my life and not feel overwhelmed and really feel the Spirit and etc. etc. Peace came and yes, so did the answer. Increase your Gospel Study. I have. It is working! Also I understand how to better cope. I can't verbalize those feelings yet but yesterday when I shared my testimony at Church, I shared... I am happy. I should have said...I am joyous. That is my current state of mind. I will enjoy every single second of this feeling with such gratitude. Gilead's Balm usually ends up needing to be re-applied!
For now...do yourself a huge Conference-Prep favor and watch/read -Finding Safety in Counsel - Elder Eyring here

You are most certainly right, Nancy; I've learned for myself that the biggest benefit from studying scriptures every morning is that I find peace. I read recently that the feeling of peace cannot be mimicked by Satan. It seems like a simple recipe, Scripture Study + Daily = Peace

Yes. I totally agree with what you said. I learned something new through this experience I had...I've read daily for years but through this I learned that what I was doing was not enough! Even though I'd upped/increased what I was doing, a few weeks ago...still it was not enough. I needed more!
Thanks, Linda!!! xoxox
