time out for women

maribeth and i went to Time Out for Women this past weekend. friday nite we only stayed for about an hour. then headed off for sushi. sooooooooo goooooood. then came saturday. i have to say that i really did not want to go. i didn't want to leave my family for the whole day. what's wrong with me? i seriously think i have separation issues. anyways... when maribeth came to pick me up she was feeling the same way. until we got there. WOW what an amazing day. i've never been to a time out for women before. i absolutely loved it!!!!!! it couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me. i was on a spiritual high for the rest of the day. still am! i was once again reminded that I AM a child of god and that is SO precious to me. i LOVE being a wife, i LOVE being a mother, and i LOVE being a daughter of god! so i have made it a goal to find JOY and HAPPINESS in my everyday life. especially through the bad days. and there have been plenty of those. i just the love the comfort of knowing how much my heavenly father loves me and the example of Christ is more than enough to get me through it all. i can't wait for the womens broadcast today, and then general conference next week...man i think i'm gonna be on this spiritual high for a LONG while!

I Loved it also. You missed a really good performance Friday night. Amazing, but I think Saturday was way better. I loved the things I learned as well. Just enough to help you make it through some more tough times!!
