life...jump in with faith

So, Aaron and I go to a lot of events, right? Mostly for accounting, but also for other random business things. For the past two days the NAC (National Advisory Council) for the Marriott School of Business held a conference which was AMAZING. By far, the most inspiring event I've attended thus far. 

The NAC is made of up of amazingly successful people in business, who also have amazing spouses! I got to spend most of my time with the spouses, and I really had a great time. Plus, Lizzy Bean, was there too and we got to be together quite a bit, which was so much fun! :) 


Anyways, why am I writing about this? Because I was re-inspired in the work I'm doing as a wife, a mother, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Sister Mary Cook, of the Young Women's General Presidency, spoke to us at our luncheon today and helped me remember that as women in God's kingdom, we have a duty to help change and influence the world. 

I'm so grateful for the women I've met who have encouraged me to have faith - and to love the journey I'm on. These women have spoken of the importance of staying home with our children, supporting our busy spouses, creating home as a haven, and being the best we can be.  Seriously, thank you NAC spouses. You are women of great faith. You are women who have walked side by side with men who are changing the world (perhaps in more outer ways than you are), and yet who look to you and realize that they are nothing without you and that the work you are doing in the home is more powerful and influential than anything else.

Thank you motherly women who encouraged, inspired, and fed me spiritually last night and tonight. Thank you for your examples. Thank you for having faith and great attitudes amidst traveling husbands, and double-digit moves. You are inspiring. Thank you for seeing the big picture and helping me to see it too.

And thank you, Sister Cook, for showing THIS inspiring clip. I'm so grateful for my amazing husband and all that he is accomplishing in his field of study, but also in all the things that matter most in life.

I feel empowered to do great things and I am so excited for what our life holds!

I'm jumping in with faith - here I go! :)
