General Conference Part Two

I was really taken back by President Monson's talk. He talked about choices and urged us to choose the "harder right" than the "easier wrong". Perhaps fear is huge indicator when making choices, because of course we all want the easier path. But I believe taking the "harder right" path, no matter how treacherous that is, is worth more than we know.

Elder Uchtdorf hit the nail dead on when he said "There's no life so shattered that can't be rebuilt...God is fully aware of those who are lost." Each one of us can be rebuilt to be what God see's who we can be. Because of Jesus Christ, we all have the opportunity to change and become better over and over and over again!That's pretty neat! "It matters not how you became lost whether it's because of poor choices or of thongs out of your power." It takes one step to turn to God. Doesn't matter where you are or what you've been through, it just takes one step.

There were many other talks that I listened to and took notes, but honestly, I am still processing. Elder Jeffrey R. Holland said, "you get credit for trying" and I really liked that. Every little thing we do does not go unnoticed! God see's us! He knows us. "The Lord blesses those who want to improve." You weren't asked to be perfect right off the bat. No. That's not possible. But you can continuously become better and that's important.
