RUDY

Nothing says Saturday morning like watching your favorite movie after a long run.  Naturally it was a toss up between Glory Road and Rudy.  Rudy won out today.  Of the many many MANY times I have watched this movie I have never picked up on the following conversation.
The back up to this moment is that Rudy is applying for the last time to try and get into Notre Dame after many rejections.  He is praying in the church when he is approached by Father Cavanaugh.

Rudy: Maybe I haven't prayed enough.
Father Cavanaugh: I am sure that isn't the problem.
Praying is something we do in our time, the answers come in God's time.


Talk about exactly what I needed to hear.  As I have been studying the last General Conference messages I came across one entitled, "Waiting upon the Lord: Thy Will Be Done" by Elder Robert D. Hales.  This talk has brought me much comfort in coming to know that I am not going to know the answers right now.  I must learn to wait, it the talk it says,

      "What, then does it mean to wait upon the Lord? In the scriptures, the word wait means to hope, to anticipate, and to trust.  To hope and trust in the Lord requires faith, patience, humility, meekness, long-suffering, keeping the commandments, and enduring to the end...Waiting upon the Lord means to "stand fast" and "press forward" in faith, "having a perfect brightness of hope".

This is why I love hearing from the apostles of the Lord and why I am so excited for General Conference this weekend.  They say the things that I need to hear and that the Lord wants me to hear.  I am so thankful for a living Prophet and his apostles and the opportunity I have to hear their words.
