Sooooo, Alex and Misty came to visit me this past week. It was positively amazing. I talked too much, took too many pictures, we ate too much food and stayed up way too late. Would I change a single thing? NOPE. Not a chance.
Last night Al and I had a serious heart to heart. Maybe it was just another one of our conversations to him. It seems we always get into one very similar when we're together but to me it seemed different. Stronger, closer maybe?
We were singing karaoke and he stumbled upon my wedding song. The one from Carl to me. As I listened to the words I realized how lucky I am to have found this silly little boy that decided he loved the crazy lunatic that I am.
We spoke about Church and God and the time we have here on Earth during our Mortal Life and I am so thankful for the opportunity I have to learn the truth and build myself to the person I must be to attain and maintain a Temple Recommend. I am dazzled by the thought that I can taste Heaven on this planet.
We touched on our families and what they mean to us. The time we share with everyone we love and the emotions evoked within our hearts. A lot like setting the veins on fire: it's so deep!
I didn't share my testimony at Church today. I partook of the sacrament and cried a little, all the while my humble heart sobbed inside and swelled with gratitude.
As I drove home to say goodbye to my brother-in-law and new found friend, I realized that this life is a journey I couldn't trade in for any replacement. I've had my shares of ups and downs but I wouldn't be who I am without those experiences. If you read this and are going through a rough trial, know that God loves you and so do I.
Love, Life, Health and God...I want you to have it and love it for you!
