General Conference

Each Spring we are given the opportunity to listen to General Conference.  I feel like I really need it this year.  I've been struggling with the blues...I think for several reasons!  First, the passing of my father has affected me deeply.  I cherished the time with him, his jokes, his stories, his smile and that twinkle in his eyes.  I miss his fun, caring, gentle, and loving manner.  Second, I'm approaching my 5th anniversary mark of being diagnosed with breast cancer.  For some reason this has been on my mind continually.  It's almost consuming me and I need peace in my mind and heart.

Conference is the remedy.  It never fails that there are talks given especially to me.  I'm so grateful for a living Prophet and Apostles on the earth.  For their spiritual messages that touch my soul.  Does that mean I won't be anxious?  No!  However, it does put things into perspective and hopefully it will diminish my anxiety.
