Women's Conference

Since moving to Melbourne in January this year I have been to the doctor a lot. So much so that the receptionist thinks I should be getting frequent visitor points and my pharmacist knows my prescription without me giving it to her and that I went on holiday to Europe (she even asked about it when we got back!)
This is probably the right time to tell you that I am NOT pregnant and none of my Melbourne medical problems are baby related - feel free to stop reading now if thats what you thought I was going to reveal....
Just incase you think I might be over exaggerating .....
I've seen two doctors, had 3 blood tests, 1 ultrasound (and another this week) and a specialist...so far...

So why am I telling you this?
Well I love General Conference and this morning I watched the Women's Conference and there were so many great messages that really were saying "Kelly-Anne you can do it, you won't be in pain forever and you are loved."

Here are some of my favourite quotes:

From Rosemary M. Wixon's talk - Discovering the divinity within

"We are able to take our validation vertically from Him, not horizontally from the world around us..."

From Linda S. Reeves talk - Worthy of our promised blessings

"...we will be exceedingly blessed if we exercise faith and patience and go to our Heavenly Father, the source of all truth, with our concerns."

"This life is the time...to prepare to meet God. It is not the time to receive all of our blessings."

From Carol F. McConkie's talk - Here to serve a righteous cause

"In the strength of the Lord, we can do all things."

"We are the Lord's agents and we are on His errand."

I loved President Uchtdorf's talk - A summer with Great-Aunt Rose. I love when apostles tell stories and his talk was almost one big story (and the way he kept describing the cat had me laughing out loud)....

"Forever - is composed of Nows"

Overall what I really felt was that I'm not going to be sick forever. I need to focus on the wonders and miracles that are in my life. I need to remember that I know that one day everything will make sense. I am a daughter of a King and I have an individual purpose.

I love that Sister Wixom used this quote from Elder Holland (who I LOVE)

I was excited before I started watching conference and now I can't wait for Sam to get home so we can watch more!!
