It was really good to be back at the temple yesterday, after missing my shift last week due to visiting my brother. Being back there, among the sisters of my shift, weighted by my responsibility of being an ordinance worker and a latter-day saint, feels good and right. I feel like my authentic self in the temple---happy, selfless, friendly, empathetic and loving, and very likeable. It's the me I like to be. It reaffirms to me that I never want to make any kind of decision that would prevent my being worthy to be there. I never want to be banished from the Lord's house because of some choice I made for temporary satisfaction. I love it there.

ReplyDeleteGood for you! Keep those thoughts present always and you'll be successful!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I just love how EVERYONE is in the temple. Everyone is SO sweet, and SO nice, and So patient, and SO helpful. Even though I've been to the sealing room 3 dozen times, I still forget how to get there when it's been a while, and the ladies in the locker room never roll their eyes at me and act impatient when I say, "How do I get out of here??" Not even when I deserve it.
ReplyDeleteI love this. "I feel like my authentic self in the temple---happy, selfless, friendly, empathetic and loving, and very likeable. It's the me I like to be."
ReplyDeleteI truly believe that when our desires are ultimately towards the Temple,even when they drift afar from time to time (or even quite often), that the Lord will continue to bless us and that every blessing and promise He has for us will be ours - whether now or much later.
I wish I could feel this way about the temple, but I really don't. I'm constantly worried that God is angry with me for being there, and that I don't measure up. So I don't go anymore. But it makes me happy that you can find such peace there.
ReplyDeleteHow sad sad thing.. I really hope you will find yoyursaelf again from the Temple, having fun and relying on God only. Chears!
