Just what I needed

It seems very much like heavenly father always knows just what I need, when I need it. Such was the case this evening.
Tonight was the General RS Broadcast. I went by myself (tried to convince Melissa to come along, but no such luck! Next time I am calling Dana so we can go together.), and I wasn't in the best frame of mind. I got there and it was packed...had to hunt for an empty chair and as a result, felt very uncomfortable sitting all alone by strangers. I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety lately, so I really had to make myself sit there and not get up and leave.
I sort of half listened through the first few talks and songs. They were nice, but my heart just wasn't in the right place for listening. When President Uchtdorf got up and spoke, I felt as if he was addressing me, and all the feelings and thoughts I have been having. He talked a lot about women's tendencies to feel inadequate when in reality, we do so much to help others and other important things. It felt good to hear him speak about those things and made me realize that it is ok to have some flaws, and not be perfect. I can't wait for his talk to come out in print. I want to read it again.
I left feeling better. Knowing that what I do makes a difference and is important. I needed that little lift.

Here is the audio stream link to the broadcast. President Uchtdorf's talk starts at about 56 minutes in. Scroll down on the page until you see the "Audio Streams" section, and click on the English MP3 option. It will play on Windows media player.

My favorite quote from his talk is: "The number of prayers we say may contribute to our happiness, but the number of prayers we answer may be of even greater importance."
