Lesson

I taught Relief Society yesterday (that's my calling). [Relief Society is the women's organization in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.] The lesson was on revelation. It was a wonderful lesson to prepare and give and I felt like it went really well. There was great participation and the Spirit was strong! There were just two things that didn't go so well 1. I bawled and 2. I went way over.

1. So I asked how we could know when we were feeling prompted by the Spirit or when it was our own thoughts... some great stories and incites followed. I felt prompted to share a story about how a friend and neighbor called me. It was just what I needed at the time. This friend may not have known she was being prompted to call, but I know she was. As I started to tell the story... I cried and cried. A little crying is fine, but oh brother! I wish I wouldn't cry so much! (Point being, if the thought/feeling we have is good we should follow it. It probably is the Spirit prompting us.)

2. I was watching the clock on the back wall of the room. I thought I ended 8 minutes early. The RS president even thought I ended early and got up and said a few words... well the clock was wrong. We went 15 minutes over! (We already get out at 5:30 at night... this made it 15 min to 6!)
