Fan the Flame of Your Faith


San Marcos River

Even if you can only desire to believe, let this desire remain in you until you are believing.

When facing the challenges of faith the Father asserts his strength first and only then acknowledges his limitations.

We all have to experience growth in mortality.

Hold fast to what you already know and stand strong until additional knowledge comes.

The degree of your knowledge is not the issue, it's the integrity of what you do know.

Do not start your quest of faith by stating what you do not have. That's like trying to stuff a turkey through its beak.

Be true to the faith you do have.

You have more faith than you think you do.

The fruit of living the gospel is apparent in the lives of members everywhere.

This is a divine work in process. With manifestations and blessing abounding in every direction.

Don't hyperventilate if issues arise that need to be resolved.

In this world, everyone is to walk by faith.

Imperfect people are all God has ever had to work with.

When doubt or difficulty come, do not be afraid to ask for help.

Hope on. Journey on. 

Fan the flame of your faith because all things are possible to them that believe.

This was the talk to end all talks for me.  It was amazing!  I could totally imagine this talk being turned into a "Mormon Message."  I had tears streaming down my face, because it was so ridiculously wonderful!  I can't wait to read it in print and watch it over and over.  

I love General Conference and I love the resolve that I have after General Conference to be a better person.  I love the resolve that I have to make changes in my life, whether big or small.  I love the hope that it brings to my life.  I love watching it with my husband - even though, I know he was dozing off (the snoring tipped me off).  

I love the comfy clothes, the lazy day and the yummy food that we prepare on this special day.

General Conference is a wonderful day that I love, and I think that I really like Jeffrey R. Holland, too.  He is a new favorite of mine!
