On this day I married my friend, someone who I can laugh with and cry with. Some one who has supported me in school and knows and understands that I am a mother. He understands that I know God lives and I believe in prayer. Before this day I prayed with all my heart if i should marry him.
I understand there are qualifications in what makes a good marriage. I have them to. I abide by DC 18:18. I know God answers I have prayed for a kind, supportive man who loves me. I know he is not a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. But he is willing to support me and go with me to church. When I told my dad i was getting married and I know and trust his opinion he wanted me to do a couple of things before I made up my mind. Pray, talk to my bishop, and go to the temple. When praying about it This is the scripture that came to my mind. 1 Corinthians13:2-8. So we have been taught that charity is pure love. In verse 2 it promises me that I will have the gift of prophecy and understanding. It even goes on to say if I have faith I am able to remove mountains. So if I trust what I hear then I will be able to remove the obstacles in our marriage. I have faith!!!
Then it goes in to say love sufferth long, love is kind, it is not jealous!!! This is the part I love- love does not care about the past but only the truth!!! Love never failth!!! The in 14:1 think about this : Follow after Love
Then after much praying and fasting I love the verse Luke 15:7. I love Eagle Creek ward they have made Kevin feel welcomed and loved. How great shall be your joy with just one!! I know I have to be daily example on how I live the gospel and keeping my Heavenly Father as head of our house.
Then when I went and talked to the bishop, I found a new love for my Bishop. He told me that he was converted by and with the help of his girlfriend at the time. At one time we all had to be taught. So to my dear friends and family who I know love s me what are you willing to teach him? I have been promised to keep doing what may him fall in love with me and my obstacles will be removed.
Then the third thing the temple, I love going to the temple and chose not to share my experience in the NY temple. I will be eternally grateful of that experience. It was reconfirmed that I knew and Heavenly Father was aware of the answers I needed. The Temple is a place where I can go and know beyond a doubt that I am loved and known by name. I love all temples but NY will hold a special place in my heart.
