He's got all the time in the world.<br /><br />Geez, I'm jealous of the General Conference - a place to seek answers. Is it televised to you or is it something you attend?People Who Know Me Would Say:https://www.blogger.com/profile/04621641188403948733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-31197865078505589452011-04-01T22:14:57.116-07:002011-04-01T22:14:57.116-07:00I look forward to tomorrow also.

I find myself in that same position frequently- except very selfishly wanting certain non-material blessings right now instead of waiting for the Lord's time table.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232281608898358053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-57667649975519764162011-04-01T18:18:19.683-07:002011-04-01T18:18:19.683-07:00My concerns are your concerns and it is very diffi...My concerns are your concerns and it is very difficult to understand why some things are the way they are. It is especially difficult when the ones we are concerned about are so deserving of the Lord's blessing. I wish I knew the answers. It is just so hard to be patient while waiting. I too look forward to Conference and pray that we can receive more understanding.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797132860053426517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-16044954634442256292011-04-01T17:19:29.946-07:002011-04-01T17:19:29.946-07:00I'm very much looking forward to Conference th...I'm very much looking forward to Conference this weekend. I'm sorry that your heart is troubled. I've repeated this statement many times: "You are only as happy as your saddest child"...atleast my heart is usually happiest when they have mastered adversity in their lives. I wish I could make everything good for them. Some troubles are their own choices come back to haunt them...some are just life. Hopefully your prayers are answered and peace is found.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-83274655262589841712011-04-01T17:01:03.627-07:002011-04-01T17:01:03.627-07:00I felt like I was reading my own thoughts and feel...I felt like I was reading my own thoughts and feelings when I read your post. Only you have a fabulous way with words. <br />We are so blessed but there are just these few items of concern that I always bring up to the Lord and wonder when He and I are going to be on the same time table. Hmmm, I guess I need to change my way of thinking.<br /><br />Looking forward to Conference.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00140268328645099689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-34053420675014935082011-04-01T15:44:43.877-07:002011-04-01T15:44:43.877-07:00As we make our way to SLC and conference LaMar and...As we make our way to SLC and conference LaMar and I spoke of you and your family. You'll all be in our prayers as we think of your concerns. And isn't it funny that we listen to conference with a myriad of problems and concerns - all of us different- and yet we always feel that our specific needs were addressed. It's like a small miracle that makes a major impact.

Most moms will tell me that you never stop worrying and that the issues surrounding the children just change as they grow. <br />My children are still young, but even at this age, I yearn for all that is best for them in this life. I know Our Heavenly Father understands our yearnings as He wishes the same for all of us. <br />As you know, I am not Mormon, but I am moved this day by all the beautiful words of my Mormon blogger friends regarding your General Conference this weekend. It's clear to me the power of the Holy Spirit is preparing you all for some heavenly perspective.Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04953764061091454844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-76264904960093636322011-04-01T14:25:19.692-07:002011-04-01T14:25:19.692-07:00You will find answers and if not, you will find pe...You will find answers and if not, you will find peace. I always do when I watch conference. And at the close each and every 6 months, I feel a tinge of grief come over me that another conference has come to an end. I want to say, "Not yet. Please don't leave us yet." <br /><br />I'll be thinking of you Sue. I wish I could be there to talk to you. I know your heart is heavy.Grandma Honeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09587160523698527979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-71912896328177063922011-04-01T13:15:06.763-07:002011-04-01T13:15:06.763-07:00What a heart-felt post.

I can't imagine how it will be when my children are grown and I have to trust God in their lives without getting too caught up with what I want for them. That will be hard!!! I have such a hard time letting go and letting God. Prayers for you, my friend, and I hope you find great encouragement in your services this weekend!Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06239079132342501762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-78516066835294975262011-04-01T12:54:53.752-07:002011-04-01T12:54:53.752-07:00Patience is such a hard thing to learn.

I think we often forget how important the learning is. The waiting itself teaches us things we could not learn otherwise. <br /><br />I don't think I have ever been this excited for Conference before. Keith is now at an age where he listens better and picks things out when we listen to talk radio, or our television programs. I am going to make a game with him to help him listen to Conference. It is so exciting to watch them learn and grow. And even to get the answers for which we are seeking.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09670661525139676900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-65621073967646072952011-04-01T12:19:35.495-07:002011-04-01T12:19:35.495-07:00smiles. i hope you find your peace...and it is har...smiles. i hope you find your peace...and it is hard...esp when you have kids and they are involved...prayers....Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6072583027504108914.post-66060218819011224272011-04-01T12:15:36.758-07:002011-04-01T12:15:36.758-07:00Very well put Sue.
