im pretty proud of that.
i have gone MORE in this year than i have ever.
that says allot right there, mostly to me (and God, of course). but i can see a change in my thinking about the temple.
i was actually really excited about going this time, i was as well last time too.
it was a relief society thing, only 4 of us from our ward (congregation) even went.
me, sister Sheeley, Sister Diehl, and Sister Hardy.
i promised, and actually kinda made it a new years resolution to attend the temple at least opnce a month for the year.
im STILL standing on the promise that the leaders of the church have said would happen if you attend the temple..
the main ones i pulled out were:
your family will have a testimony of the gosple
your family will attend church.
im doing this for my son, who, love with every fiber in my being.
and it hurts my heart to know he struggles with his faith.
so, for him, i go to the temple, and hold God to His promise for my family.
i do MY part, i expect God to do his.
and i have seen after every visit, one small fraction of movement towards Him by my son. small, sure, almost insignifigant to most anyone else, to me..a huge leap.
yes, i notice the small stuff, and am eternally thankful for those small actions danile does, he thinks i dont see.
the willingness to walk to church, just to be set apart and given a blessing.
the willingness to hold a cub scout calling.
heck, the fact he knows on any wednesday he could be asked to so anything at all on any following sunday, is enough. he comes to church on wednesdays..willingly.
i see the promises in action.
i have a strong trstimony of the power of when we do as commanded, we are blessed as a result.
we have to walk in faith that when we do as commanded well be blessed, its not always right away, sometimes its years later. but we hold on and endure, and eventually well see the victory.
so, im shotting for the rest of the months as well...
april, here i come!
