The experience I almost didn't have

I do not currently have cable. My computer has been acting up big time, so I've been reduced to using the dinosaur laptop(s-l-o-w) and here it is conference weekend. Its been years in the making and its still not 100% all the time but we've finally gotten to the point where the kids all know that we stay in the designated room for the whole time, they can have quiet activities but if they get too loud there will be consequences. And here I was without a way to watch conference...not good. I figured we would go up to the church and watch it there, at least for the morning session and then we would just listen to the afternoon session. So I had the kids all pysched to go to the church and watch it, gave them all a brand new notebook and pencil and packed a small quiet snack for each of them(I really played this whole going to the church to watch it thing up so that they wouldn't whine too much). We got there about 5 mins til 9 and the building was unlocked, not another car in sight and not a soul in the building...and no tv set up for conference :( :( :( :( >:( the kids were bummed, and I was upset. So we came back home and I tried to get the laptop to pull up the audio feed...and it wouldn't work! UGH! I decided to see if MY broken computer would at least pull up the audio. And it finally did! And what an amazing session. I have never been so affected by a session of conference as I was today. It was profound for me. Every single question that I had brought with me to conference was answered right in that one session. The biggies that I've been dealing with for some time now, the ones that have really weighed me down? They were answered and I have the strength and conviction to press forward with steadfast faith in Christ. I see now just exactly where my thoughts and feelings came from that were holding me back and weighing me back. And to reference the afternoon session. I will not look down at the floor/ground when I get discouraged. I will look up, step up, and cheer up. For strength comes from above, not below.
So you see I almost didn't get to have this experience today, and I will forever be grateful that I did, that I was blessed enough to feel what I felt and to know that its true.
