33 year Anniversary Week

 Rick and I like to be in the temple around our anniversary and usually try and make it on our actual wedding day the 15th.  This year we are traveling and we have a delivery coming the 15th so we went yesterday and will go the 20th. We also will be able to be reminded of our sealing while we attend Brittany's sealing tomorrow! I cannot believe we will be married 33 years!  

I was recently called to serve in the RS presidency of our newly created ward.  I am now in the Rancho Sienna ward.  Only ten families from my old ward came with me and the majority are coming from a ward together.  I always am a bit worried that I am not eloquent enough, or smart enough, or a scriptorian etc.  It is not that I don't try.  I study everyday but I feel like I am not good at bringing things to my mind or explaining them well.  So I feel like I always go into a calling with a loaves and fishes type of situation.  I bring my little bit that I have and my willingness and I trust that God will magnify it to be enough and to spare.  So in the temple I had a prayer in my heart that I would just feel his love and awareness of my feelings and in the celestial room I opened to D & C 88 which is full of such great things but a couple things stood out to me.  It starts off right away by saying , thus saith the Lord unto you who have assembled yourselves together to receive his will concerning you.  So right away I feel like He is telling me, I see you and I know you.  It then goes on to say how my prayer is pleasing unto the Lord and he will send me a comforter and that He will abide in my heart.  Finally that the light which is Christ will give me light and will enlighten my eyes and quickeneth my understandings.  

So I sat there and just felt that God saw my fears and He knows that I needed this reassurance that He will be with me and will help me.  I can go forward with faith and when those doubts come, I can look to Him and know that He can make me enough and to spare.
