Temple Day

Thurs. Sept. 13, 2012

I was able to go walking this morning with Tracy. I didn't feel well enough to jog at all, but I’m glad I went and felt the sunshine on my face. 

Today was Stake Temple Day as we get ready for Regional Conference on Sunday. We were asked by members of our Stake Presidency to spend as much time in the temple as possible today. My immune system is low and I knew that I couldn't be in the temple with so many people and risking germs, so I was hoping to drive out to the temple parking lot and just spend some time there. I was feeling so sick after my radiation appointment and receiving my neuprogin shot that I came home and went to sleep. My stomach was upset for most of the afternoon & evening and I never made it to the temple. I was very disappointed. I worked on my talk for the Adult Session of Stake Conference for Sat. night. I’m having difficulty getting my thoughts to come together. I just want to make sure that I share what the Lord needs me to say.

My friend, Jeannee knew I wasn't feeling well and brought by some homemade butternut squash soup and some homemade French bread. I am so appreciative of her kindness and sensitivity to our family’s needs. I was able to eat little bits of the bread and it felt good to have something in my stomach. I asked Lincoln for a priesthood blessing to be able to compose my thoughts for my talk, to be able to share my thoughts with the spirit, and to be physically well enough to be there for the adult session. I felt a peace during the blessing and I know the Lord will sustain me in what I've been asked to do.
