TOFW 2013

I have been watching the live-stream of Time out for women 2013 in Salt Lake City. Here are some of my favourites:

VIRGINIA PEARCE
Sometimes we think if we give up our desire to punish someone, we will lose and they will win. Forgiveness is really about us and the Savior not us and the other person.
True forgiveness shows when you desire the welfare of the perpetrator.

You can only reap what you sow.

BOYD K PACKER
You are a child of God. He is the Father of your spirit. Spiritually you are of noble birth, the offspring of the King of Heaven. Fix that truth in your mind and hold to it.

CHRIS WILLIAMS
Let it go! All of it, hold nothing back.
What burden can I lay at the feet of the Savior today??

BRAD WILCOX
The Lord's goal is not to get us to heaven, it is to make us heavenly.
A covenant is not a contract between two parties, it is a warm relationship between two friends who are on a first name basis.

JOHN BYTHEWAY
Regardless of your original intention, you will eventually become what you surround yourself with.
The way we spend our days becomes the way we spend our lives.

MERCY RIVER
A Father never gives up on his children.

EZRA TAFT BENSON
Nothing will surprise us more than when we get to heaven, and see the Father and realize how well we know him, and how familiar his face is.

EMILY FREEMAN
When was the last time you had an answer to prayer? If it wasn't in the last three days then you need to change how you pray.
When was the last time you had an answer through scripture study? If it wasn't sometime this week, then you need to change the way you're reading your scriptures.
Don't just read or pray, make an appointment with the Lord.
Trust God enough to also trust his timing.
Minister as you go along your way, not when it's convenient. Others are praying for you to help when they need it, not when you're available.
What do I need to learn? What am I willing to sacrifice to learn that lesson?
