Love
Today there was a pause in sacrament meeting as it was Fast Sunday, and it must have pricked my heart because before my mind really new what I was doing my legs stood up and walked me to the front of the chapel. Adam was out with Briggan and I had just left my kids. I didn't even warn them that I was leaving. I just up and left. When I realized that, I didn't think I could just walk back to my seat so I just hoped they would stay reverent. When it was my turn to speak, I said that I was bearing my testimony because I know when you share it it grows, and that was my hope. To help my testimony grow. We just had general conference the weekend before so I relayed how I had the opportunity to be in a very small, intimate meeting with Elder Holland once. I remember him becoming very emotional as he expressed his love for us. I know he didn't know me, I'd never met him before, and I'm sure it was that same way with all the other young women in the room, but the spirit was able to relay to my heart what he felt in his heart. I knew, without a doubt that when Elder Holland said he loved me, he meant ME. I knew he loved me, Britnee Walker. I know that when the general authorities say they pray for us and they think of us and they love us, they really meant that. That is true. It shows us a glimpse of how our Father in heaven loves all of his children. I also felt that as I had my little Daiken. Before he was born I didn't possibly know I'd be able to love another child as much as Brailee, but when he was born I realized that love is not divided, but rather, it is multiplied. I know our Father in heaven is very aware of us and that he loves us, each one of us individually.
