Families are Forever


Being LDS I have always believed that "Families are Forever." It is through our Father in Heaven's plan that this is made possible. We believe that by obeying the commandments given to us by the prophets and living rightously we all can attain this goal. This year, actually tomorrow, January 26, 2011, my husband and I will be celebrating our 15 year anniversary. Although this is a wonderful milestone in ur marriage it also brings some sadness each year that we celebrate. I say this because, we have not been sealed in the temple for time and all eternity. This anniversary comes with a new hope because this year we will be taking our family to the temple. Tomorrow will be a great day but on June 25th, 2011 that will be an amazing day! That is the day that I will go to the temple with my wonderful husband and 7 amazing children and be sealed together forever! I have spent lots of time over the years imagining this that day. Many times it seemed so far from our reach. Gratefully I can say today that we have a day and those past dreams are now becoming my reality! As a member of the church it was often hard to sit in Primary and sing songs about going to the temple, knowing at the time I still had work to do. I must say that I am not perfect nor is anyone that enters our holy temples, but there are certain requirements that at the time I had not been living up to. I am glad that I can say today that I am doing everything I can to be able to receive the blessings of going to the temple. This blog is about not only my journey but also the journey of my family.
