Conferencing with God

General Conference - it is like the Costco of getting answers.  Is that sacrilegious?  Maybe.  I don't mean it to be.  But when I need my answers in bulk, that's where I turn.  

I have been working hard to get all the training done, the paperwork submitted, the house in order.  Why do all this when I am not even sure of the final answer from the Lord?  Well, it is simply this.  If the answer is YES, we want to be prepared.  If the answer is no, then all I have done is paperwork.  Nothing more.

Conference was amazing.  10 solid hours of joy and answers.  But it wasn't until Saturday night that the true confirmation came. Sister Eubank was giving the update on the humanitarian efforts of the Church.  Before this calling, she was a reporter.  So, it was natural for her to do her best reporting.  

There was one point when she said, "Jesus volunteered in the premortal world saying, 'Here am I. Send me.' What can do volunteer for that you can answer to God, 'Here am I - send me?"  

Aaaand that was it. That was my answer.  Short and sweet.  Nothing more needed.  Tears and shaking and crying followed but it was such a joy to get an answer.  God has never NOT answered me quickly. It is our relationship.  I trust Him.

So, between sessions on Sunday, we went to Taylors to give the kids some chapstick because of some icky lips.  I told Christina of that experience.  She said that in that exact moment, she began crying too, hoping we were hearing the same thing.  She knew we would choose yes.
