Diana Hyer visited our ward RS last night and spoke of priorities and possibilities and making our life better. Here were some of my favorite quotes she shared.“If you have ever felt inadequate, if you have ever felt that you don’t have the inherent capacity of others, if you have ever felt that no matter how hard you try, you are never good enough, I have a word of advice for you.
Your life is not a race.
You are not competing against anyone else for entrance into the presence of our Heavenly Father. The plan of salvation is not a reality show where you have to beat out the other contestant to win.
I have more good news. As long as you seek to grow closer to your Heavenly Father and your heart and spirit are contrite – as long as you repent and strive in faith to overcome weaknesses – you will be rewarded by our Heavenly Father.”

Sad I missed that night! They held the Blue and Gold banquet the same night and i tried to get it changed!! I loved that quote. I'll try to remember I'm not in a competition! It's hard when you feel like you're failing...but we're really only failing our Heavenly Father when we feel that way.
I thought it was weird the B&G was the same night. It was bad timing. I thought I was going to an organizing seminar - good thing! I might not of showed up if I knew the real topic :) and I needed it.
