Lately I have been thinking a lot about changes in our lives. We celebrated Christmas and Thanksgiving with Charles' family. We have been living in Coeur d'alene since the end of September last year. Times have been tough for us finanically and in our relationship. I have come to learn that the Lord does not want marriages to end, but we have to trust Him that the best things happen for us. Marriage is to one other person- our spouse- and we are only to be there for that person and lock our heart to all others. The covenants that we make to our spouse are very strong and the consequences for breaking those covenants are nothing that I would want. We each have our agency and choose what to do with it.
The gospel is so important to me and I am so grateful to have a loving Father in Heaven that is watching over me. I realize how important it is to be completly faithful to your spouse- in thought, word, deed, and action. I promise to be the best wife and companion that I can be- even though I am not perfect at it I know that with the Lord's help I can be what he wants me to be.
This new year brings a long drive to work until I can transfer to a Wal-Mart that is closer. I am also working wth the census again. I can only hope it is enough to help us pay all of our bills.
Welcome to 2010!! I hope that any one who reads this will know of my conviction to marriage and to the Lord. He lives and I am grateful to know that.
