Hehe)<br /><br />Angie, you hit the nail on the head -- those essential things are to GET the revelation. Of course...the way you described it just made things click in a different way for me. Thank you!<br /><br />Heidi, haha, if I sound more balanced here, then there's another benefit of my two-blog weirdness. ;)Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215431222961203620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187023313115210530.post-31291246863865013902010-06-16T00:18:13.287-07:002010-06-16T00:18:13.287-07:00I read that post as more of a venting post than a ...I read that post as more of a venting post than a panic post.

And I agree-...Hmm, I don't see a *panic* post. And I agree--it is only natural and perfectly NEEDFUL to pray more when we are having difficult trials. It's only bad if we don't pray *except* when we are in trouble. That's not you. I am so sorry that you have been feeling so ill for so long! I take you too much for granted.

I'm supposed to g...I'm in a similar place. I'm supposed to give a talk on Sunday (a pox on that husband of mine!) based on E. Perry's conference talk--one of the many that has contributed to my maternal overwhelm. He used a combination of S. Beck's Women's Conference talk and E. Oaks Good Better Best talk to teach the 5th Sunday lesson to our ward. I know these things are on all our minds. The big difference between the basic traveling RS talk and the Women's Conference talk (at least for me) was the beginning part of the Essentials section--that what is essential is that we get revelation, that we do all those other things (the reason why they ARE essential) is because we need them to know the mind and will of the Lord. The rest of the talk and all of the principles taught (including the idea that when we take care of Essential and Necessary it's amazing how much Nice to do fits in) was good and needful, but that concept that the most essential thing I can do is what will enable me to receive revelation--that was electrifying for me. Still working it all out (I suppose I always will be, but that's a post for another day) but this idea is better helping me to sort out the rest.Angiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04373394125196084799noreply@blogger.com
