Temple Trip

I decided since the temple would be closed for the next couple of weeks, I better go "one more time" before closing. This morning when I woke up, I had this feeling that I should do sealings. Yeah, right. (What am I? A self-masochist?) A temple trip was on my "to-do" list, but temple sealings were definitely not part of my plan. However, I decided to just go with the prompting.

As I drove to the temple, I started reflecting how ten months has gone by since my whole world came crashing down. And guess what? I have survived. That is simply amazing to me. As I was pondering, I looked up and I saw the sun peeking out from the clouds. It was as if Heavenly Father was sending me my own private message saying "Heidi . . .here is the light radiating through the darkness . . . all you have to do is have FAITH and be willing to follow the path towards the light, truth, and righteousness".

I have chosen not to attempt to do temple sealings because I was afraid that it would be like pulling the scab from an oozing wound. Tonight I felt peace. And love. And comfort. I wept as I listened to the promises and the blessings of the temple sealing. After we finished, I was able to ask the sealer some questions that have been weighing heavily on my mind. He did not mince words and was VERY direct. I am confident that Heavenly Father is watching out for me. Families can be together forever SOMEDAY.
