Did you hear me?

So I wanted to be heard today. I had the words all planned out in advance, clear, specific and to the point so I could not be mistaken. I thought that once it was all said and done I would feel at peace, like the answers would just come to me once it was all out in the open.
.....................
....................still waiting..................

Seems I wasn't clear enough...or maybe I said it the wrong way, or maybe I didn't ask the right questions? Or maybe......I wasn't listening myself.

Two Paths

When you do decide to change your path? Not happy in the current settings yet unable or unwilling to make that leap of faith and change direction. What is the final motivating factor, the straw that breaks the camels back so to say? I guess I haven't reached it yet for I continue down a path that brings me little satisfaction and little peace. So if I am unwilling to change the path, I need to be willing to make the best of what I have...until the time comes that change is possible....

Inspire Speakers

So President Eyring, and Elder Hales spoke to me today.

Be Charitable--service brings feelings of love
Be a Witness of God-How? Daily reading of the Book of Mormon will strengthen my ability to be a witness and will show me how to do it.
Endure-
To wait on the Lord means to hope, trust, and to endure with faith--planting a seed of faith and nourishing it with diligence knowing that thy will be done.....
You can't pray for patience and expect it NOW.....

Thank you......

Kolob Canyon

If you could hie to Kolob In the twinkling of an eye,
And then continue onward With that same speed to fly,
Do you think that you could ever, Through all eternity,
Find out the generation Where Gods began to be?
Or see the grand beginning, Where space did not extend?
Or view the last creation, Where Gods and matter end?
Me thinks the Spirit whispers, “No man has found ‘pure space,’
Nor seen the outside curtains, Where nothing has a place.”
The works of God continue, And worlds and lives abound;
Improvement and progression Have one eternal round.
There is no end to matter; There is no end to space;
There is no end to spirit; There is no end to race.
There is no end to virtue; There is no end to might;
There is no end to wisdom; There is no end to light.
There is no end to union; There is no end to youth;
There is no end to priesthood; There is no end to truth.
There is no end to glory; There is no end to love;
There is no end to being; There is no death above.
There is no end to glory; There is no end to love;
There is no end to being; There is no death above.

Waiting

I am up and ready for the day, yet I linger in the house as if I don't dare leave it.
There is a sense of waiting that permeates the air and I find I am waiting with it, breathing it in.
I walk from room to room searching for whatever is coming, or perhaps leaving?
Each room holds an image, a memory, all displayed for view, but frozen in anticipation.
I come to the last room, there is a door slightly ajar, light pours from the tiny opening, I reach for the handle to pull it open....but find that I can not move...
It is not yet time, the waiting continues...for now.

I can do this.....

So I had a "moment" this week, A pause int time where I saw a truth that I was clearly missing. It was so clear and so strong that I almost didn't realize it was a new thought because it seemed to just all of the sudden "be". It was a peaceful yet strong message of inner strength and capability. "I can do this" it whispered, "I have the ability to see this through to whatever end may come", and "I can accepted whatever that end may be."
The day continued with that peace permeating my very soul. I was grounded, solid and strong. Whenever I being to feel lost or empty I pull from that moment, for amazingly enough it is still present inside me....."I can do this...."
