I have been realizing today how much Heavenly Father loves me.
Brent and I met with Brent's bishop today. Brent is still fairly new in the ward and has been gone a lot visiting other wards so he doesn't know his bishop very well, but it was such a good experience. He talked to us about building the foundations of a good relationship - and as he talked, I realized just how remarkable my relationship with Brent is. It was like going down a checklist! For example:
Able to talk about things beyond the superficial level - check
Studying the gospel together - check
Getting to know each other better than anyone else - check in progress!
There were more but you get the general idea. I am so blessed to have found such a noble, remarkable young man.
I also know, however, that with the good comes opposition. I am continuously working to build a spiritual defense against whatever Satan might think of throwing at me! Prayer, Scriptures, Temples, Church, Fasting, and things like keeping busy, being humble, practicing patience, and continuing to learn all I can - this is the defense I am trying to build. This is what is most important in my life. Coming unto Christ, becoming like him, and putting away my natural tendencies. I am so grateful to have this knowledge - to have the Gospel in my life.
I am so blessed :)
