I am so grateful for the temple. Tim and I went while the kids were in school today, and once again I came away so humbled, peaceful and renewed. Nowhere else do I feel the love of my Heavenly Father like I do there. I know, logically, that I can receive revelation anywhere... in my car, in my bedroom, while I'm doing laundry, but there is just something about the temple (no distractions, maybe) that brings the Spirit into focus for me. I have had many amazing experiences- miracles have happened.
Today what I felt was love. That was what I needed. Our experience in going to the Azores was so amazing- and I was so involved with the whole process, that sometimes being here, now, is a little anti-climactic. Tim's PhD program, and the perks that go along with it, have been a great blessing. For the most part, though, I am not involved. This is all about Tim. I am relegated to a supporting role. Don't get me wrong- I love my supporting role. But sometimes, I wonder if what I'm doing is important. If I'm really needed.
After today, I know. The answer is yes. I am needed, I am loved, and I am doing the right thing. Heavenly Father knows me. Why is it so easy for me to forget that?

Thanks for sharing about your experience in the temple. Brent and i are scheduled to go with our ward on Sat. and I am really looking forward to it.
So good to hear from you as well! Are you adjusting ok? The Azores will always be part of us. Orion still talks about it each day, that's all he knows of his childhood. He thinks Utah is not home, Azores is, and when we are going back? Life is good, we are looking to the future and taking one day at a time, I'm glad you have kept up on us. How I can do the same with your Blog! HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!!! Miss ya
