The Road to Eternity

I've realized lately, with the help of my Bishop, that the level of spirituality I am on should not be compared to anyone else at all. The road that we travel on is one that has already been lined out for us. He already knows what decisions we'll make and what obstacle is going to make us rear off the road. I know I've always heard that being said, but you don't really know what it truly means until you're experiencing it. Funny thing actually, for me that is. "You're only where you need to be because that is where He needs you to be". That's what I found myself saying to my husband last night. Higher callings ask for higher spirituality and that is what is required of my husband right now. He was being prepared by Our Heavenly Father to be where he is now. I tell ya, the progression I saw was fast! It makes so much sense. LOL! It's kind of funny to think about because of the realization that I've come to.

Before the Church

I've always been a person who prayed to our Heavenly Father. Even as a little kid I did. My family was Buddhist but I don't really know much about it. I was only taught to do the things I was supposed to do. Now I wish I knew why we did some of the things we do.

But anyway, when Cesar and I got together, he was an inactive member of the church. So, life was good and I was able to do the things I wanted to. Simon, Cesar's bro, always wanted us together for dinner and talk about the church, which I was not interested, and I think Cesar knew I wasn't so he would always turn Simon down. I actually didn't know he had been doing that for a while until later on. Cesar would just tell him no because he knew it was something I really wasn't ready for.

So, I'm not sure how this happened, but Cesar decided one day he was going to go back to church. It was a Sunday. I was like, ok. He asked if I was going to go with him. I kind of just brushed it off and he said, "Well, I am going to go and really wish I didn't have to go alone". I was like, "great". Now I feel guilty because he's going to church and I'm not. So, I think I felt guilty enough to tag along. (The kids were not with us that day)

To Be Continued.........It's a long story.
