After everything that has been going on, Aaron and I took a much needed trip to the temple. There is nowhere else in the world that makes me feel more love and comfort than I do when I am there. For those few short hours I spent there yesterday I forgot that I didn't have a job and the agonizing search of having to find a new one or the pain of wanting another child but not being able to have one right now. All I felt was the bigger picture of what life is. Serving others gave me clarity, something I really needed! I wish that I could stay there forever, but I have to live my life. I am so thankful that I have the ability to go to temple and be able to feel so much comfort and perceptive. It also helped to go with great friends...thanks Amber & Shayne!

We too got to get away and go to the temple this week. Ironic, isn't it, the difference? I believe there's a reason. With all that's going on in the world, we are constantly told to not fear, just have faith. These truly are the last days and we only need to follow the prophet and apostles! I'm glad you got to go to the temple- for me, I want to go everyday now. I just wish there was a daycare in there so my kids could experience some much needed peace that you can only find within the temple walls. By the way, I love that picture! That's where Cauley and I were married. Did you take it?
Your so welcome, it is really our pleasure to spend the time that we do with you guys. Its nice to have close friends who believe the same as you do. I don't know what I would do without you especially with all the trials we get to face nowdays. I really appreciate your desire to change things up and do initiatories. It was an amazing experiance.
I miss being so close to the temple. the spokane one isn't really that far away but it seems like so much further when I have to find a babysitter for 6hours. It just really makes it seem like it is so far away!
Glad that you were able to go.
Your post was so inspired! You are such a beautiful, amazing young lady and Emma is so lucky to have you for a mommy!! I am so sorry that you are going through so much right now, and if I could take it away, believe me, I would. I am so grateful for the Temple and peace and solace it brings to aching hearts. You are in my prayers!!
I too went to the temple and it was needed so much. The spirit is so much stonger in our home when we as parents attend the temple. It's amazing! I hope the peace you felt stays with you and your family.
I'm greatful for the Temple too, I just went on Temple grounds last weekend, and there was a lot of peace. Ever since the election ended it's been kind of an insane world that we live in. Josh and I need to be better at going and partaking of the peace found inside! I am with jamirclark. A daycare would be awesome. ;) I'm glad you found some comfort at this rough time!
