my hubby.

This post is dedicated to the man who I will spend this life and all eternity with, my husband. I don't know who it is yet but I wrote him a letter last night and just thought I would share a piece of that letter here. 

To my husband for all time and eternity.
I promise myself and you that I will make choices now for our future family. I will stay worthy of my temple recommend. I will be an example of the power of virtue. I will firmly set my faith on the savior. I will attend my church meetings and pay close attention to instructions from the spirit. I will study, understand, and live the truths of the scriptures, the words of the prophets, and for the strength of youth pamphlet. I will prepare myself now to be the kind of wife and mother that I know I can be if I will prepare. I will pray with faith everyday and ask for guidance to make important decisions. Every time i go out with my friends or on a date I will remember the covenants I have made and the covenants I will yet make. 
Love: Your Wife 

That's just a small portion of what I wrote to my eternal companion last night. I truly love this gospel so much and cannot wait for the day that I am sealed in the temple to my forever family.  It may be lame that I write to my future husband but I do it a lot. One day he'll appreciate it :)

trust him.

It has been brought to my attention that I've been a total slacker when it comes to the blog. I've had this post in mind for a few days now and I'm pretty sure it's a good time to share. 

Heavenly Father has a beautiful plan for your life. Trust him. This has been heavy in my heart for the past couple weeks actually. Lately I've been making the worst decisions for myself and I haven't felt like the person that I know I am. Sometimes satan lets the world get in the way when your on the right path. Seriously The Lord loves us all. He has such an amazing plan for us. For our lives and future. I know I haven't been totally worthy of the spirit to be with but I've never appreciated the spirit so much. 


Saturday night I took a well needed trip to the temple to just sit and seek the answers I so desperately need/needed. I opened up a book about the roles of women in the church that my grandma had given me for graduation. As I read what she wrote on the inside of the cover my heart became full and tears swelled in my eyes. One phrase stood out the most: "to a girl who is loved" I have no idea how to explain how powerful this is and was to me. I felt the saviors love over come me. It truly was such a big testimony builder.  

Sometimes when we are on the right track we let life get in the way. We forget to do the things that keep us on the right track. When that happens satan, being the peach that he is, makes us feel so unworthy of feeling the spirit and being protected by the Holy Ghost. I know without a doubt in my heart that the atonement of Jesus Christ was for me. He suffered for me personally and through the atonement of our savior I know I can change.  I know that I have changed and there is nothing or anyone who will put my relationship with The Lord at risk. 

I'm not exactly sure what this post is even about but I guess I've just found my passion for the gospel that I had lost for a brief moment. Heavenly father knows our goals, dreams, desires in life and I know he is mindful of them. I know that as long as we all stay true to him and stay true to the faith that life will be so much more than what the world wants us to think. 

I am a proud member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I have a testimony of this gospel that burns deep in my heart. I know without any hesitation that I was sent here on earth to share this beautiful gospel with those who are seeking for truth and light. I love this gospel so much and I wouldn't be who I am without it. 

Don't let others make you forget what you believe in. Stay true to the faith always.
