Testimony of promises

My heart is full as I consider the blessings of my life. I have so many blessings in my life that show the love that the Lord has for me. I am truly loved of the Lord, and it shown in the care He takes in my life. I know the blessings that I desire most in life, that of a companion and family are arranged in the Lord's time.

He has promised, and He keeps his promises. The natural woman in me seeks to attract a spouse to fulfill this need. The world pulls on me to be exposing in my dress and manner, as to make men comfortable in their pursuit of me.

This pull from the world is strong as I get older. In my weak moments I questions the choices I have made over time. The choice to put the Lord first. To serve others, to consecrate my talents, to temper my natural and physical portions. To wait upon the Lord for the kind of man who can lead my family and guide our family to the Celestial Kingdom. To withstand the criticism from the great and spacious building.

Still it in the pull, the criticism, and exercion of faith that allows me to know that I am on the path. The darkness surrounds the right way. It is only in walking through the darkest of moments, hours and days of our life that we build a testimony. This testimony has cost me the immediate gratification that so many arround me enjoy. It is the tesitmony that allows me to claim the blessings of dicipleship.
