Reverance Tent...!

It was such a wonderful Conference this weekend! I truly enjoy listening and seeking the spirit when I hear the words of our prophet and our other leaders! I feel SOOO overwhelmed with my Heavenly Father's love knowing that he has not left me behind that I have leaders who love me and my family who gives us great counsel so that we might find true eternal happiness!

So as you can see I am all about traditions....and of course starting NEW ones for my family!! I saw this on Sugardoodle.net and thought my kids LOVE making tents so I will try this....and sure enough it was GREAT!! After they were done..(we started a little late) they got thier General Conference Packets out that our wonderful Primary Presidency does every year and they did great!! To be honest.....it isn't always perfect and my kids sitting there ALL 8 hours WILLINGLY wanting to listen...lol! But they did good, and every time it just seems to get better...I know that I just always feel so good knowing that Ray and I were obedient in teaching our children to listen to conference. It is HARD work....but the blessings behind it are there...Now and later!

I am grateful for General Conference and the blessings I recieve for truly seeking knowledge on how I can better become like my savior Jesus Christ!

"CREATE"..!

I was working on my FHE packets for a group that I am in and so was on lds.org and saw this amazing video called.."CREATE".

www.reliefsociety.lds.org

I have to say that I have been kind of in a state of being sick of hearing how "crafty" I am, I almost feel like sometimes that should just be my name or what people think I am all about! (did I just say that!?) And I know most people are being really super nice BUT It can be very sad sometimes and almost lonesome thinking I may be the only one..(when I KNOW I am not!) Just the last couple of days of being overwhelmed with some NOT SO NICE ladies I thought of keeping my "creativity"under my belt for awhile and not letting it out there for all to see...praying to know how to handle this, that maybe I do intimidate others to think that they are not "crafty" or that I take it to an extreme that they feel they could never do.....boy did Heavenly Father tell me differently! This video is so true! Everyone has a creative side...whatever it may be...and you should be cultivating that creativity! Instead of being intimidated or jealous, BE INSPIRED! I truly am and get inspired every day from people everywhere around me....I can see people's creativity when maybe they don't! I think that if people knew my life, what I have been through, that I was not born with a silver spoon in my mouth that they would think differently. I HAD to be extremely self reliant.

I again am not trying to throw a pity party, nor trying to justify who I am....but believe me when I say I am MORE than just "CRAFTY"!! (I am thinking out loudly today..!)
