Believe it or not - I really DO have some posts partially done so that I can get my summer and fall activities "journaled" - but first things first:
I was asked to give a talk this coming Sunday.
Needless to say, I am not loving that idea.
Now, believe it or not, I REALLY don't have a problem with giving talks in front of my ward, but I really dislike the preparation part of it. Coming up with something interesting, and original thoughts on subjects is the part that is stressful to me. Once it's prepared, I can relax about it.
My subject is (basically) "How living the Gospel righteously can help me exemplify my callings."
So, I am calling on all my family and friends for any ideas, thoughts, talks or scriptures you may have heard or read that can help me narrow down this lovely topic and help organize some thoughts.
Thanks a bunch!

9 notes for us!!:
What's yoru email? I have some ideas for you!
thanks kel! it's nicki.mickelsen (@gmail.com)- :)
All I have to say at the moment...i will think more...but what came to my mind was..Arn't we thankful that our Bishops live rightously, so they can feel the Spirit and guide US.Same with our Prophets and Apostles. We wouldn't be able to testify of the truthfulness, nor feel their trust in guiding us if they were off doing unrighteous things.
thanks guys! (she says with heavy sarcasm to everyone except Kelly & my lovely Aunt Sherie - - and my mom who helped me out "in person")
Kel - got your email - YOU ARE AWESOME!! Thanks for those words of love and support. You inspired me to change a few things in my talk and it was just what I needed! You rock!
You did Great! Loved it. Funny how when I came into sacrament mtg. I was frustrated with my calling. I will go and I will do better.
Great talk Nicki!, love the way you presented your thoughts. I wasn't worried at all :-) I new I would hear some wonderful things, and I wasn't disapointed. You really set the tone of the meeting, THANKS! Love, mom
