I have been LOVING reading the conference Ensign. I have made it a goal to read at least one talk a day. Phenomenal and it is amazing the new things that I have been learning! This morning I read Bishop Richard C. Edgley's talk. I don't specifically recall this one from conference but it stuck out to me today.
If you know me you know my desire to one day be married and have a family. It is a life long goal and dream. Not too long ago I was thinking about how I do have hope that one day marriage will happen for me but I am not sure that the faith is completely there.
Then I read Bishop Edgley's talk and it made perfect sense and he spoke to my soul. He spoke about faith as a choice and that has never been more true in my life than now. Faith is a choice and choice of action and perseverance. A choice of patience and love and a choice of hope and happiness. It is a choice.
Here is a quote that I especially appreciated from the talk:
"Yes, faith is a choice, and it must be sought after and developed. thus, we are responsible for our own faith. We are also responsible for our lack of faith. The choice is yours."
I pray that as I come closer to the Lord that my faith will increase and that I will have more confidence and peace as I face the trials and challenges of this life. The Lord will bless me and He will bless you!

Just keep smiling friend! Love you! I'm glad that we are close!
I randomly decided to check your blog today, which is amazing! And it is probably no coincidence that Bishop Edgeley's talk is the one I also read today. It was so good, and we both needed it. Thanks for being such a wonderful woman, friend, and daughter! I love you!
