Stand Still

This past weekend Shad and I both really enjoyed conference. A couple things we want to remember that really stood out to us, "don't look back" and "stand still and let God be God". It was interesting in one of the talks how the story of Lot's wife was talked about. Her story can mean many things, but the moral of the story was don't look back. This is something that both Shad and I have really thought a lot about. How often do we live in the past and let those things drag us down? I know for me it happens a lot. It is easy for me to forget the simpleness of the gospel and really how it works.

In multiple talks it was stated, "stand still and let God be God". There is so much to that sentence. I am not going to try and explain how or what this means to me because it says it all. How. There is none greater than God.

I have had a lot of motivation lately to try to come closer to my Heavenly Father and Savior. I am not sure why the sudden surge for spirituality, but I think with the way the world is, and proof that it is only going to get worse, fuels the need to be better! I also think with my new calling I feel like I have so much to learn even about the basics of the Gospel. Shad took notes from the Priesthood session on Saturday night and we read them together as a family. It is so nice to have him as a Priesthood holder in our home. I never really realized how important this was for a very long time until I found him. We have everything to be grateful for. Our family has been richly blessed and we feel like we can never do enough to repay what we have been given. I love the gospel and I am so grateful that we have it in our lives.
