Tired, But Blessed

I haven't posted much of late. My number one problem right now is a serious lack of sleep. It's been over 16 months since I've had good sleep on a regular basis. In spite of that, life is good. My children are growing and healthy. I think their testimonies of Christ are also growing. They're doing pretty well in school, and my second daughter has been released from the special education program because of her success over the last three years!!

My husband has been working hard as ward mission leader to help spread the Gospel, and we have seen a number of families blessed the past few months. One of those families is my friends. Her husband has been baptized after investigating for a long time. He's a great guy, and Christ will only help their family become better.

I am still loving my calling. The primary is awesome!

General Conference was amazing this fall. It's always a blessing to hear from the Lord's servants, but I got so much more out of the talks this time. Wow!! That's the best word to describe my feelings. Just, "Wow!"
Stake Conference was very good, too. The adult session was about accepting the atonement of Christ into our lives, that it can bless all of our lives. And "enduring to the end" is to be a joyful experience. Sunday morning was about how God wants us to be happy here on earth, and it is through the atonement that we can have that joy. We also find joy through sharing the Gospel with others so that they may also have joy in the atonement. Wow!

I am very tired of being tired, but I suppose I can bear that burden for a little longer. After all, it doesn't begin to balance out the beautiful blessings in my life right now.
