Two weeks

"Hope Ya Know, We Had a Hard Time" This has been the theme of my life the last two weeks. It has just been difficult, to say the least. I felt so distanced from everyone and everything. I tried to pull myself out of it, all by myself. I kept reading the scriptures. I tried to find something every day to be happy about. I felt that I was praying sincere prayers. I read articles in the Ensign and reviewed General Conference talks. I went to Institute. I went to the Temple-(where I just ended up crying...) None of this seemed to work. Finally, a great friend texted me and reminded me who I was. During this weekend I felt like the bubble burst. Especially today. I know Heavenly Father is watching out for me and knows exactly what I need. We had ward conference today and between my Bishop's remarks and my Stake President's remarks and the music, I had this reassurance that He was going to help me out of this, especially if I asked Him and relied on Him. When we got home from church, I asked my mom if we were going to go over and see her aunt and uncle that are in town. She said," yes, in fact, Nell (aunt) has invited us to go to this Stake Fireside with her, the speaker is Camille Fronk-do you know who she is?"

Do I know who she is...we share a name...she is a Professor at BYU... I watch her on the BYU channel...wanted to read her books but haven't yet... I was so excited! I had no idea what was in store for me. Heavenly Father put into motion a series of events whereby I could learn and feel of His peace and reassurance, for me in my life RIGHT NOW. The words she spoke, the Spirit I felt...I went and met her and talked to her, she has changed how I will approach my scripture reading and my prayers and my service. She has changed my outlook and perspective. Thank you Sister Fronk-Olson for your testimony, for your teaching from the scriptures, and love of the scriptures. Thank you for being an Instrument in the Hands of the Lord. It really was just for me...
