The Experiment

These past few weeks have been pretty interesting and there is a reason why. I am actually really excited that things have happened the way they have. I was asked to speak in church on March 22 (that is this Sunday.) I actually LOVE speaking in church, and I think I am good at it. The biggest problem I had when I was asked to speak was the fact they asked me a MONTH ahead. (I shouldn't complain because my roommate is speaking on Mother's day and they have already asked her.) What I hate about having so much time is the talk never stays the same from what you wanted to say the first time you found out what the topic was. So, you wait until you are closer to the date so you can get what really is needed to be said.
On the first I sat in sacrament meeting thinking about my topic and what I wanted to say. When I first heard the topic I had a quote ring through my mind. I knew that the topic was meant for me and I knew what I wanted to say. I however, knowing how the spirit works, didn't get started on my talk. I decided I would wait until the week before to know what I wanted to say. Well, as I sat in sacrament the next week thinking about my topic and what I should say. I started to look up scriptures. I just had a thought. "I need to work on this in my life. So, I am going to make some changes in my habits and conduct an experiment." That is what I am doing. I am on week three of my experiment.
I don't think I will write my talk until Friday or Saturday. But, I have a pretty good idea what I am going to say. That my hypothesis is right. I don't want to say too much more about this. I might have to publish my talk so you can all understand everything. But, let me just tell you that during the past few weeks, things have been hard. Nothing has come easy to me. But, I am happy and at peace. I don't think things will ever be perfect, but at least I know I can handle it all.
