About a month ago we had ward conference and one of the speakers talked about Obedience. He said to think about what we desire most in the terms of blessings, and if we are obedient then those blessings would be ours. I believed this to be true and leaned over to Phil and mentioned that I must not be as obedient as I should since the blessing I desire most is children. He scolded me and said "that is ridiculous!" And then asked about all the disobedient people in the world who have kids left & right, how is that fair? Good question, but... For the sake of peace I concurred, but I have ever since had a nagging thought that this principle is true. (Perhaps this is the Spirit? hint, hint) Now I am not saying that I have been grossly disobedient but rather it is the simple things that I can improve upon. I have been slacking with personal scripture study. I have committed myself this month to be diligent in reading 15 minutes a day. I know that I will receive blessings for my efforts, it may not be the ONE immediately but it can't hurt, right? And I know I have been promised that I shall be blessed with beautiful babies.
So here's to obedience and the promise of wonderful blessings and onto the quest of motherhood! Stay tuned, it will happen eventually.
