Thanks to the readers of this Blog!

I want to say thanks, your comments are so kind and helpful! I do gain strength as people comment and teach me things they know as well as build me up. I believe building each other and teaching each other is definately one of the main things that will get all of us through this mortal experience.
I did have a better sunday, it didn't start that way, one of my daughters threw up in sacrament meeting. My son took her home while I cleaned up because she said she was fine. I took this as another way for satan to keep me from teaching, so I determined to teach and get it over with. In fact as I prayed hard every minute to have the spirit help me I felt that it would be fine. Like I said in my last blog I put no personal thoughts or feelings into the lesson on purpose so that I wouldn't cry or anything. Well I went into my lesson and started to read my words when I had this strong impression to share my dancing with the devil feelings-not the experience just the feelings I had while I was experiencing this awful event. I fought it for a couple of minutes but then my mind went blank I knew I couldn't ignore the prompting any more. I shared my experience, relating it to having a Cain attitude or an Enoch attitude and the spirit was very strong. In fact I think I could've heard a pin drop on the carpeted floor. I continued my lesson and notice several people in the room bawling harder than I was. After the lesson, one of the bawling people (a newly returned inactive member) came and told me that she had been having a similar experience for several weeks and my lesson answered every question she had about it. I was so thankful that the spirit could teach her the things that helped her most. It is those kinds of experiences that make me feel like I am doing good things even if I do have bad sundays on occassion. My main point in sharing this is because I want to testify that the only way to fight satan and his helpers is to be obedient, keep doing what the Lord asks and soliciting the Lord's help in fighting your battles for you!!! Thanks again for building and strengthening me!!

I always enjoy reading your comments, but I love them more now that I don't teach and don't get to attend gospel doctrine for the time being.... Thanks for sharing yourself - your thoughts, feelings, testimony, etc. I know I don't often leave comments, but I appreciate the things that you share!
