Your experiences:

TOFW is awesome! There are always things said the speak to me personally. Friday night Dean gave us "self-talk" which I used three times before I even got back Saturday morning! ("This is one of those times...") Laurel Christensen was so like me! Love her!! The music was amazing and I can't wait until Mercy River's new CD comes out in February. Had to tell my husband all about the go to bed song. Mike Wilcox always makes the scriptures so real. Linda Eyre and her daughter made me feel like a little more holiness was really possible as the mother to kids 24 yrs to 3 yrs old. Merilee Boyack "Pound sand" gives me strength. Thank you. Emily (Belle) Freeman love your books, love your stories, love the spirit you share with. Mariama Kallon....even though I had to really listen close to understand the words.....the spirit and the love of the Lord came across so loud! Mercy River.....was wonderful...the music, the personal stories. At the end of the day I felt like I had been with friends I'd known for years. Friends who knew me, loved me and support me. Thank you!!! Time out is SO worth it.

This is my thought on becoming who I am. “In the stillness that comes from being alone in the evening driving home from a meeting the holy spirit’s voice spoke to me an answer to prayers that have been given for years. What might the prayer have been? Oh, the request to know, “ God, what do you want me to do and am I on your path?” The simple words whispered to me, “Daughter you are everything I want you to be, now go out there and be who you are to all those I have put in your path.” After many years of seeking and searching and wondering who I really was this answer came very clear, very simple yes, finally these words where accepted in my heart. I tell you now who I am. I am first of all a daughter of God. A daughter of a Father who loves me and knows me so intimately that He knows my needs before I even ask. I am a mother to special spirits that have been sent directly to my home because not only did I need them, they needed me. I am a wife loyal and true. I love and support my husband with all my heart and will do so forever more. I honor and cherish this relationship of marriage as I realize that without it I would not be complete. I am a woman who has faced the storms with many hours of prayer and many tears. I have not been alone as I have been carried by my Savior and I have continued in faithfulness to serve him. Though the trials are hard and full of heart break along the way. I am a person born at this time for such a time as this. No, I may not be educated or have a degree from a university. No, I didn’t come from wealth or affluence and yet my pedigree is full of faith and strength and great honor. I strive each day to find joy and look on the bright side. To lift and carry those around me. My testimony burns in my soul so strong it is painful not to share it. I love that I have this knowledge and will be grateful for the rest of my life and I look forward to being ME. For spreading the love that the Savior has for all those around us through me as I stand tall and I let my light so shine that I may glorify my Father which art in heaven. This I say with truth and honor from my heart that this is true in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.” I wrote this thought early in January 2011 only to find myself walking again with Christ weeks later as I miscarriaged at 13 weeks. That baby was what I thought an answer to years of pleading. I know Jesus was beside me. I felt His concern and saw His face of sympathy and love in my mind’s eye. Once I finally felt on my feet again in May 2011 my dear grandfather passed away. I loved him so much. He made me feel so beautiful and special. I cherish all the memories I have of being teased and loved by him and caring for and loving him. Finally, in July I discovered that my marriage had some cracks in the foundation. These cracks have been so painful to repair or even face at times that I have wanted to leave. I had forgotten my loyalty pledged at the beginning of the year. I have recently felt so sad, heartbroken, beaten, battered and bruised. I am tired of being the strong one. I am tired of hurting. No words have comforted me, no song has calmed my soul, and no amount of love from others has healed my heart. I have distanced myself from everyone, including my Savior. Yet, I have a feeling He has not left me. I know Heaven weeps with me. I still believe someday my life story will be an example of the believers. Though I am drowning in the waters of sorrow and grief I want to believe that this too will pass. That this day will end and I will still BE. I will still be the woman God created me to be. Only I will be a more refined, humble, and meek version of her. Time Out for Women this year has been a catalyst. A way for God to try to touch my broken heart. I know He just wants me to BE. He wants me especially to BE with Him. To remember who He has already confirmed me to BE. He wants me to know I will BE ok. Thank you for the messages of being and especially the hope that with Christ I can BE. I can’t wait to come next year and celebrate Good Things! Shauntell Ottley North Logan, Utah
