Church

To be sitting in an audience of people and feel that what the speaker is saying is meant just for you is not a coincidence.
I struggled to find a blank piece of paper and pen from my purse so that I could jot down the words of a phrase the speaker so gracefully spoke. After rustling around in my purse, I did find a crumpled little piece of paper and a purple pen to write the phrase down, it reads:
"Faith is not acting blindly, it's knowing in your heart what should occur and acting on it."
I've heard many definitions & explanations of the word faith before, but this collection of words put together made my heart skip a beat.

Thank you Mr. speaker, you put into words what my heart knows.

I remember when I was pregnant. There was one sacrament meeting that everyone went up to bear their testimonies. It was probably a week or two before I was supposed to go into labor. And it seriously felt like everyone was talking to me. It was amazing. :)

Baha. I'm trying to say, that I love meetings like that. Seriously. They're the best. I'm glad you heard what you needed to this Sunday.

I think I needed to read this. At my church I feel like everyone is being spoken to except for me, but I hope soon I find a church where I can relate! Loved this post though!!
