So, last week was an interesting week.
- Tuesday: I made a reservation so Steven and I could go to the open house for the Draper Temple, I was so excited and couldn't figure out why.
- Wednesday: The bishop and the stake president came over for a visit. It was great to be in the presence of two wonderful and spiritual people in my own house.
- Thursday: Steven and I went to the open house. I was totally overwhelmed by the spirit that I had to choke back tears, it made a very large impression.
- Friday: I started reading Isaiah and the main subject matter was: temples.
- Saturday: More Isaiah, more about temples.
- Sunday: The topic for church that day was... (drum roll)...temples!
My life has not been the same since. I went and talked to the bishop and he totally believes in
me! Which is really nice, I needed that. I've been studying my scriptures, praying regularly, and really searching my heart and working through issues so I can truly repent and find my way to "the straight and narrow." My life has so much more meaning now and the love I have for Steven is deepening and the more I think about it the more I realize that I truly want to be with him forever. Last night we went to the open house again. Being there with him felt so right and was just what I needed to remind me that I'm doing the right thing. The future is looking good and I'm so excited for my new, more meaningful life to begin.

Britt,
I can see the change in you! Even with you being out of work, your attidude is optimistic. You have always been a positive person since I have known you but I see a change in you. Keep it up, you can do it.

I'm excited for you! And to be able to go with you, of course. I love having temple buddies!
PS. I just got into Chronicles. The Old Testament is realllllly long. In case you haven't noticed haha
No, oh no, I've noticed. It starts getting a little better after Numbers and Chronicles. Stick with it and alway remember how rewarding it will be to know that you read the ENTIRE Bible!
Britt,
I am glad to hear you are reading your Bible. I have just about finished the New Testament which I started about 1 week into this new year. My plan is to completely read the Bible this year, but wanted to start with the New Testament (which I plan to finish this month) first for a change. I have already had some scriptures jump out at me which I have read many times and heard numerous sermons on, but never seemed to have quite the same meaning and clarity before. I hope you have many such experiences, as you search through the Bible, too.
