I Am Full

Me, Mindy Baldwin, Angie Truman, Jenni Miller, Lisa Watt, Marcy Albertson, Joy Anderson and Alice Anderson



April 30th and May 1st have turned out to be two of the most fulfilling and memorable days of my life. I headed to Women's Conference with friends, new and old, from Idaho. Little did I know how much I needed to hear what was being said. Not only was I inspired by the speakers and music, but also by those who I spent my time with. It really is true that we are here for each other, to step in where others may lack, to lift up when the going gets tough. We are Daughters of God who can do anything in the Strength of the Lord. I am grateful to be a mother, a daughter, and a friend. I love the gospel with all my heart and know that my Savior knows me personally and wants me to be happy. I felt his arms around me during so much of those two days. How wonderful it is to be a part of something so amazing. To have friends when we need them most and guidance from those who talk with God. I hope I can only be worthy of all the blessings that I have received. I love my Heavenly Father and my Savior and hope to one day be like them. 

In our Savior, we have a "perfect" friend....

And through my trials and trials of others, I have learned that when God is lifting us up, we may feel he is letting us down. All we need to do is Follow Him.....

It is true Amy. What a wonderful testimony for the world to see. To have you express these things so fully and passionately is a great comfort to an earthly parent too. Thank you for choosing to take the right path no matter how much the world would want you not to believe.

Your life is greatly rewarded for your faithfulness.

I love Womans Conference. I went the first couple years I was married but have not been back. I can only imagine how much more I would get out of it now. Thanx for sharing that... I need to hear that.
