Last weekend my daughters and I had the privilege of attending the LDS Young Women's General Conference. I have attended this conference a couple of times, including once with Nina two years ago. The difference this year was that Nina sang in the beautiful choir with almost 400 12-17 year old girls. They practiced for weeks and it was a fantastic spiritual experience for all involved. As I sat in the congregation and listened to these wonderful girls sing I was struck by the spirit in a really beautiful way. Both of my girls are growing up. In just a few short years they will be out of the house and away from their mom. I have such love and adoration for the amazing young women Nina and Alyssa are. I went through a rough patch with Nina for about a year and I'm facing that with Alyssa right now, but my love is so strong for them.
We have really set a goal in our home to put a little more focus on things of a spiritual manner. We have never been amazing at fasting on fast Sunday, but we have decided it's something we want to do. We have also decided to start holding family scripture study. I know that by adding these two things into our lives we will be blessed. I am proud to report we have been doing family home evening on a semi-regular basis.
Another goal I have made is to start doing my Sunday spiritual postings again. I need that focus on gospel topics in my life and sharing my focus on my blog is a really motivating way for me to accomplish that.
If you have questions about the LDS (Mormon) faith you'd like me to address or a gospel topic you'd like me to write about, please leave me a comment or send me an email.
Happy Sunday! I included the videos of the choir Nina was a part of.... these girls went from non-singers to this amazing choir in about five weeks! About four minutes into the Primary Song Medley you get a really nice shot of Nina!
