Talent's

Old picture of Haiden and Kylie I was Three months pregnant with Laikyn, my how time flies oh, and yes, I miss my hair.

Our Heavenly Father has blessed us with Talent's. We all have our own, special to us. I think about the talent's I have and think a lot about how to improve them. All my life I have enjoyed music. I have sung in Church since I was little. I remember singing with my sisters in the Young Women's Sacrament Meeting programs back when they use to do it. I remember signing for Mothers day, I remember singing in School. I went years without actually learning how to read music but have always enjoyed Music. The past year I have started to learn how to play the piano in hopes that it would improve my ability to sing. I have finally learned how to read music correctly and have noticed a difference in my singing. It is easier to pick up music out of nowhere and learn how to sing it.

Any way to get to my point. The last few times I have sang in church have really been unsuccessful, my nerves get the best of me, my emotions become uncontrolled and I cannot portray the song the way I would like too. I find the older I get the harder it is to share my talent. This week in particular I have struggled with the commandment of sharing our talent's. I was asked to sing in Church today and through the week as Sunday crept up on me and as I practiced numerous times I felt my nerves getting the best of me. I question if this is really a talent I should be sharing. I begged the Lord this week to help me share this talent he has blessed me with in a way for people to hear my testimony. I asked that my nerves would be calm that I could get through the song. I had faith as I walked in the building that all would be well.....

I sang a beautiful version of Where can I Turn For Peace. I have grown to have a personal Testimony of this song. The words are so true. He only One........

I made it all the way till the last verse.. For my Beseeching, Constant he is and kind, Love without end. And could not continue. After frustration and contemplation I have come to the conclusion that sometimes we are not supposed to sing a song perfectly and maybe that isn't my talent. Maybe it is something else I haven't found. As I listen to the compliments payed after the song I realized that my message was relayed and people felt the spirit even though I could not finish the song. I am thankful that Heavenly Father Answered my prayer today and even though I didn't make it through the song, that wasn't what was remembered. This is the second time this has happened to me and I have decided I will be doing more duets instead of solo's. I am however thankful for these opportunities to express my thoughts through song. I Love my Heavenly Father. I am thankful for my testimony. I am thankful that I know of his love and that I know that through the hard times in my life I can turn to him, that he understands....He only one..........
