Yup. It's 230 once again.
Time for my insomniac stream of conscious to flow forth once again.
Why can't I come up with a blog post during the daytime?
Couldn't say.
It's probably not good for me.
But since I've already started this post, I'll share an experience that I had today.
I haven't touched anything really spiritual for a while.
So hopefully I'll be able to articulate how I felt.
I'm not really optimistic about being articulate.
It's 230 in the morning, after all.
But I'll do my best.
I'll apologize in advance if you find yourself straining to make sense of me.
I often find myself doing that as well.
Ok, today's neat experience.
Today, I went to the temple. Today's temple was the Mt. Timpanogos temple. I haven't done a session for a good long while, so it was nice to be back in the celestial room today. But today was special, because Brooke's younger brother was going through for the first time. It really took me back to when I went through for the first time, which really wasn't all that long ago. It was a journey. It was also special because that's the temple that I'm getting married in. Just 3 1/2 short months away. Naturally, the entire session I was thinking about going through with Brooke for the first time. She has all the same worries and expectations that I did when I went through for the first time. I just couldn't help but think about when I get to take her through for the first time and how exciting that is going to be for the both of us.
Anyways, I won't reveal too much about the session itself. It was a sacred experience. However, once we all left the celestial room, I decided to act on an impression that I had earlier that day. Everyone else went downstairs but I decided to get some exploring done. I found the hallway with the sealing rooms and the sealing office. You see, Brooke and I have booked one of the rooms with 55 seats in it, and I wanted to visit those rooms for a brief minute. Turns out there's actually a few. A very nice lady let me in and showed me how to turn on the lights and everything, and then, remarkably, she just left.
So there I was, all alone in a sealing room, maybe the sealing room where soon I bind my life to another. I just sat there and listened to me breath for a bit. I can't really describe what happened in there. I just know that God loves me and is proud of the decisions that I'm making in my life. It was different, in a sacred way. I felt the peace of God in that room. I can only say that for a moment I felt eternity in my grasp, and knew that God and Christ were very very real. I can't wait to go back, but next time I won't be going alone.
If you don't know if the church is true, or if a doubt ever crosses your mind, I promise that there is nowhere else on earth that quite dispels fear and doubt like the temple of God. It's a sacred place. Christ is in his temple. Today I needed to see and feel for myself and I was not disappointed. I never am. Last Christmas break my life took a different turn and now it's leading me to the temple with the girl that I love. I just feel like everything in my life has led me to that room. Now, all I have to do is wait until August 6th.
It was a wonderful experience.
And now, it's 3, and I really should be off to bed.
God lives.
The church is true.
Goodnight world.
