I just read an article in the Ensign about using blogging to share your testimony. I think it is interesting that every time I have heard about using social networking to share your testimony I have usually just blocked it out. But not this time! I read it and felt pumped. So I will now share.
Natalie has been in Utah for the past week and a half while I have stayed at home here in Texas. It has been a difficult experience, but I feel that I am getting closer to my Father in Heaven and to my Savior because of it.
I miss my family a lot, but in my sadness I have turned more to God.
I remember that we are commanded to be joyful. I have many things to be grateful for. My family still loves me and are coming home in another week and a half. I have a nice apartment and a warm bed. I have lots of opportunities to cook tasty food. I can go to movies without getting a babysitter. I get to make my own schedule, sleep when I want to. And, I have plenty of time to contemplate my life, and together with the Spirit find what is lacking, and make plans to improve.
I don't need to be sad, even when my family is away.
P.S. Here is a picture of us with our Halloween costumes.
