it's about doing and becoming

Prior to conference, I could tell that this boost of faith would come to me in a large amount. I am beyond grateful for our living prophet Thomas S. Monson and every leader in the church. General conference is that twice a year extra push we get from our Heavenly Father saying, keep going, I am here for you. He speaks to us today in numerous ways and through the speakers at conference they can share one thought and millions of us can get just what we need from it. It translates to each and every one of us, in our own personal ways.

My roommate and I were just discussing how much the little things matter. Reading our scriptures, striving to keep in mind the things that matter most, trying to find ways to serve others, prayer, etc. When you start letting go of those things that seem so small, you are slowly letting go of small parts of your faith.

Every single day I need that feeling from my Heavenly Father. I can remember clearly my life without the gospel. It was a fine, happy life. I loved my family and friends, didn't make the best choices, however I was still happy. After baptism, I feel full, complete. I cannot imagine life without him, without applying the atonement to my life, without my daily prayers, without speaking to my Heavenly Father and spilling my hearts concerns and worries. Him sending his love in the form of comfort and promise for the future.

It's been a beautiful day.
