Lean on Me

On Saturday I had the opportunity to go to a baptism of a guy now in my college ward.  It was awesome.  I haven't felt the Spirit like that in quite some time.  It was one of those moments when you are so grateful for listening to the little angel on your shoulder trying to get you to choose the right. 

Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there's always tommorow
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
If I have things you need to borrow
For no one can fill those of your needs
That you won't let show
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand (Chorus)
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
Second Verse
Lean on me, when you're not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
For it won't be long
'Til I'm gonna need
Somebody to lean on
You just call on me brother, when you need a hand (Chorus)
We all need somebody to lean on
I just might have a problem that you'd understand
We all need somebody to lean on
If there is a load you need to bear
That you can't carry
I'm right up the road
I'll share your load
If you just call me
Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me (Call me)
Call me (if you need a friend)
Call me (if you ever need a friend)

The Gospel is always there. The Atonement is real. Christ's love is strong and abundant in so many ways. Prayer works. The Church is TRUE.

General Conference - October 2010

I love every time April and October come around.  These Conference Sessions were no different.  I love how humbling and encouraging listening to great leaders can be.  This time around, I felt like the main themes of Conference consisted of Faith, Obedience, and Love.  Cannot wait for The Ensign to come out next month. What did you love about Conference this time?

... And I'm a Mormon.

Last Sunday night I went to a fireside at the U Institute.  Alex Boye was the speaker and he is such an amazing guy.  He's from England and he's also a great singer.  He's made many CDs and also sings with Mormon Tabernacle Choir.  His conversion story is simply amazing and so touching.  He has so much conviction behind what he says and he shared his story how life really was for him.  He has quite a sense of humor but he was so spiritual, a great speaker.  He sang a couple songs for us, leading many of us girls to tears because it was so heartfelt, true, and spiritual.  I'm grateful that he shared his testimony with us and how much it strengthened me.  I felt so blessed to have gone, and after hearing some trials he went through, even more grateful for the wonderful life I have.  I came across this video about him and thought it was a great link to add to this post.  Enjoy!!
