Who knew that being in a relationship could be so scary! I've struggled a lot with trusting myself and my judgment the past few days - the whole "What if I'm wrong? What if I'm just listening to my feelings instead of the Spirit? What if I imagined all that peace and joy?" scenario - yeah, that's me.
But last night, I found an awesome quote! Hooray for awesome quotes :)
"Once there has been divine illumination, beware the temptation to retreat from a good thing. If it was right when you prayed about it and trusted it and lived for it, it is right now. Don't give up when the pressure mounts.
"After you have gotten a message, after you have paid the price to feel his love and hear the word of the Lord, 'go forward.' Don't fear, don't vacillate, don't quibble, don't whine.... God will provide the means and power to achieve that purpose. Trust in that eternal truth. If God has told you something is right, if something is indeed true for you, he will provide the way for you to accomplish it. That is true of joining the Church. It is true of getting an education, of going on a mission, or of getting married."
-Elder Jeffrey R. Holland
So what should I do? Well, my patriarchal blessing talks about having faith in myself. So I'm going to keep praying, going to the temple, studying scriptures, going to church, and occasionally, fasting. And I'm going to keep moving forward in faith!
