THAT WAS IT!!!!!
I came into this general conference knowing there was something specific I needed to hear. I accidentally fell asleep during saturday mornings session, I was afraid I had missed what I needed to hear, listened to Saturday afternoons, nothing spoke to me, listened Sunday morning thinking come on! where is my message!! speak to me! Then Sunday afternoons session was it!
To be or not to be.
Lynn Robbin's talk was it. It was EXACTLY what I have been searching for this entire pregnancy. I have been so worried at how to raise children, boys specifically, and his talk has settled all my concerns and fears. It makes my eyes water just thinking at how perfect his talk was.
The idea and thought behind the talk was there are things you do, and things you are. You can take your spouse on a date, and check it off the list cause its something you do, but you cant check being a good wife off your list, cause its something you have to BE. I loved how much he directed it to parenting, teaching children thats its not what you do, its why you do it. Praising children for WHY they have done good, instead of just praising the act of doing good. I seriously can not convey the message to you as well as he does, so seriously, when the Ensign comes out, or the the texts of the talks is released on thursday, read it. You will not regret and it applies to everything, not just parenting.
That was it.
That talk, was all I needed.
I am now 110% ready to have this child.
I feel honored, blessed, ready and so grateful for what is about to happen.
I really did need this conference, so I am grateful for the faith I have been able to have in the Lord's oh so perfect timing. I see now, why I needed to be patient, and I love when I get to see the reason for why something is the way it is.
I love this gospel.
I love my Heavenly Father.
I know, that everything is done in the Lord's timing, for a very very, good reason.

Even though I'm about as secular as they come, this post was so incredibly moving. I find it really inspiring the sense of peace that peoples' faiths can bring them. Glad you found what you'd been waiting for :)
I find that the older I get, the more I enjoy and appreciate Conference. I LOVED that talk as well. I had such a great time telling Anthony about it! (He slept through most of Conference, Ha!)
I've never been excited for the Ensign to come out before this Conference. There were so many speakers who would say something I needed to hear, and I'd try to write it down, and then they'd say something else, and the quotes kept coming til I decided it was useless trying to write everything down, and I may as well just wait for the Ensign and attack it with a highlighter!
How about that story of the currant bush?!
