this morning i got frustrated. the reasons are unimportant but it all happened right before i went to the temple. :S i had to change my attitude and repent of my frustrations before i could feel worthy of being there. sometimes it's hard, sometimes it's easy.
today i thought it was gonna be hard; i was grouchy, and tired, and moody. and then i was bothered that i felt that way. but when i sat down in the chapel i felt at peace. i knew heavenly father understood me. i knew i could talk to him. i knew he didnt approve of my "behavior" and feelings but he wanted me to learn from them.
and so i took the time to reflect, and pray, and soak up the peace. i was (slightly) chastized by pres.monson when i re-read his talk, School Thy Feelings, O My Brother. but i resolved to be more patient, more christlike, more forgiving. and then i felt better. :)

meagan: hey. dont tease.
you googled it?! lol

The temple his a wonderful place. And what is special is how we prepare to go because of our expectations while there.
1) nice picture of the provo temple :)
2) you're a better person for not reacting the way EYE did :)
3) i think it would be fun to go do some baptisms as a family... we have two priesthood holders here and we'd just need to do names :)
3)how can we get names?
that talk can be super rough, amazing temple pic! and i know how you feel about trying to make it to the temple in one piece looking ot have peace
the important thing is that we go. even if its a "just barely" its better than an "almost." ;)
