Conference Sunshine

So, I don't know about all of you, but I've been thinking a lot about conference.  But, how can you not when you've just been exposed to messages of wisdom for hours on end, right?  So many powerful messages were spoken and I hope you all heard something you needed to hear.  For some of us, those things may be hard to hear because reevaluation is in order, and for others of us there was comfort granted in a time when we thought there may have been none to feel.  I'm so grateful all of these messages will be printed for our use to study and read.  (It's hard to take it all in at once.)  These messages can touch our hearts for the rest of our lives.

Because conference touches us on a very personal level, I don't want to get into what I thought the overall message was.  That message is different for each of us.  How amazing is that?  Heavenly Father knows each of us individually.  Not only that but he loves each of us individually.  Personally, I felt an overwhelming need to tell my Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ how much I love them in return.  Of course they know where our heart is, but how often do they hear it with sincerity?

I do, however, want to reiterate the words of the song that opened the whole conference.

In every condition--in sickness, in health,
In poverty's vale or abounding in wealth,
At home or abroad, on the land or the sea--
As thy days may demand, as thy days may demand,
As thy days may demand, so thy succor shall be.

Fear not, I am with thee; oh, be not dismayed,
For I am thy God and will still give thee aid.
I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by my righteous, upheld by my righteous,
Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand.

No matter who we are, where we are, or what we've been through, there is no need to fear.  Our Savior will never forsake us.

When through the deep waters I call thee to go,
The rivers of sorrow shall not thee o'erflow,

When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply.

You can probably tell how much I love this song.  "How Firm a Foundation" is the bright ray of sunshine I have to send to you today.  In hopes that you will not forget that your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ love you.  You are not forgotten.

Have a wonderful day!
Loves!

Welcome!

Hello ladies!

So, I started this blog partially out of boredom and also because I feel it's a way we can all connect with each other.  I have loved getting to know each of you!  And, there are so many more of you I have yet to meet.  I hope this can also be a place where bright rays of sunshine can brighten your day.  Because each of YOU is a ray of sunshine we can post happenings in your lives and the goings-on in our ward. (Don't worry, nothing will be posted without your permission.)

How many of you miss the good news minute?  I know I do!  I love hearing about the great things that are going on in your lives.  Whether the news is small or huge, it's fun to hear about.  And guess what...we can post that here!

You're probably wondering why I titled this blog Sunshine in my Soul.  Well, because we are all sisters in a society that offers relief from the things that bring heartache.  As young single adult women we have felt lonely, confused, hurt, angry, and often we feel them all at once.  Together as sisters united in Christ, we can help each other.

Before I ramble on too much, I wanted to share this little piece of sunshine with you today.  The ray of sunshine that tell us that Heavenly Father is looking out for us and even on a scale as large as general conference, he has a message specifically for you if you're listening.
Here's a link to the video.  Enjoy!
