she's mormon, she gets it

I overheard this one case manager lady talking to a nurse today at work. didn't sound good, like the case manager lady's friend was in bad health and not doing so great.

Nurse lady said: Well, you know, it's all in God's control. He won't take away an hour or give us an hour more than He wants to.

Case manager lady: Believe me, we're all Christians here. Of all people, she gets it more than anyone. She's Mormon too (chuckle chuckle), but she -- she gets it.

I glanced over at her, trying to decide whether or not I should say something. gingerly, i flared my nose, lifted an eyebrow, and chuckled to myself at her absurdfulness...i'm pretty sure that's a word.

Does she know what she even said?! that's okay lady, I say tasteless things sometimes too.

Yes, we do 'get it'. & I hope one day you'll see why.

it's a hoodie kind of day

I spent the entire day in pjs and hoodie. brain wired, body tired. too long in the house gets me feeling that way, but I wanted to spend today at home. it's the LAST general conference I will have with my family...possibly ever. after this, ash leaves for her mission, matthew goes to school, tiffany leaves for her mission, and the world will never be the same. oh wait...:

So...mission papers are in baby! nice that you get that little insider :) i'll find out mid-octoberish.

Saturday sessions so far - success. I really enjoyed Uchtdorf's and Holland's talks, big surprise. Elder Holland's words fill me like soft, warm water in my souuul. very soothing somehow. He knows his stuff.

Here are some things I wrote down:

ED -> faith is always pointing toward the future
DAB -> petition for growth and we are blessed with His grace
DFU -> doubt your doubts before you doubt your faith
DTC -> "She was love personified"; be ready with an answer to any man, woman, or child who asketh you about the hope within you
SGN -> serve with enthusiasm. exclamation point. leave your shoes tattered
TJD -> opposition is not a flaw
JRH -> bearable, understandable, redemptive; if the bitter cup does not pass, drink it and be strong
