Testimony

Today was a rough day for me, for many reasons. It was mainly just one of those down in the dumps, poor me days. And for some reason, nighttime magnifies those feelings. I was ready to throw in the towel and end the day by heading off to bed early, when I saw my scriptures by the rocking chair. I couldn't ignore them and sat down to read a few chapters before sleep. As I read, my feelings of sadness, frustration, and guilt were replaced with feelings of peace and calmness. My mind was able to relax and let go of the negative things I had been feeling earlier. My testimony of the importance of personal scripture study was strengthened. Not only can we find answers to questions we have in the scriptures, we can also find peace in reading the words of our Heavenly Father and Savior Jesus Christ. I know I felt their presence as I read tonight.

Marriage

If you've read my other blog, you know that Jason left this morning for a rotation in Powell. I have been dreading this week for a little while now. I hate the goodbyes, I hate knowing that I won't get to see him at the end of the day, I hate the fact that he is so far away. As I watched him pull out of the parking lot, I cried and cried until I could hardly catch my breath.
This may be silly to some, especially since I will see him in a few days when I go up to visit. But he truly is my best friend. We don't know go out and do things with other people because we like to be together, and it has been this way since the beginning of our relationship. It is so hard to be away from him because he means everything to me. Even though our marriage my not be 100% perfect, I think we are a perfect pair. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father blessed me with such a wonderful man.
