sunday post.

for anyone who was unable to watch it, i'd go here.
the general relief society broadcast was amazing. incredible. awe inspiring.
the perfect answers at the perfect time.
to me each talk was a testimony of the Atonement of our Savior, Jesus Christ.
a reminder that i am loved far more then i can ever understand.

this week was one of those "seeing the light" moments.
things began to be more clear. i could understand. and i felt happiness.

friday morning was stressful - i wasn't prepared and i still had a million little things to do.
i needed something printed off but just couldn't figure out how to do it.
i quickly prayed, "Heavenly Father, please help me to figure this out."
immediately i found what i was looking for. it worked perfectly.
a prayer of gratitude and a reminder that Heavenly Father hears even the smallest prayers.

saturday included some tears.
happy tears, sad tears, frustrated tears, all of them.
but through each of those experiences the end result was love.
a greater love for my Savior.
a greater love for my husband.
a greater desire to love others.

i set a new goal to write something i learn every day, usually related to spiritual matters.
it's changing me. i can see the happiness it brings.
i can see the things i'm learning.
the small little sticky note that sits above my bed that reminds me each day to write is exactly that.
it's small and simple. one little tiny goal.
but it's a start to helping me become that person i want to be.
one tiny little goal at a time.

friends matter. loving others matters.
and the beautiful reminder of what it is to care for others and to be cared for.

these were some of my lessons i learned this week.
