I don't know about you but there are times when I just have to get out of town and clear my head. So I did some research and looked for some trails that I could head out for the weekend. I decided on Bluff Trail. It was an overcast day but it was perfect weather for the hike. The hike started on the beach and then it went all the way to the top of the mountain with a view of the coast. I had so much fun.
On Sunday I was teaching the class in Relief Society on Eternal Marriage and I had been stressing out about it because I have never really have made "marriage" a priority i my life. To me it's something that other people do but not something that I want to do myself. I always feel so close to my Heavenly Father in nature because to me the beauty of this earth testifies that He lives. So as I finally make it to the top I look over to the view and see a wedding getting ready to start. I could not blame them for choosing the location because the view truly was breathtaking. But as I sat there I couldn't help but think of how no place can replace the temple. yes the location was beautiful and the bride and groom looked so in love but it was "til death do us apart".
I won't say that I received a big testimony and how I now marriage has become my priority but it was a moment of peace and a moment where I knew that I knew the principle of eternal marriage was ordained by a loving Heavenly Father. I was also reminded of those amazing people in my life who have been amazing examples to me of the marriage I hope to one day have. The Lord is always ready to teach us if we are willing to open our eyes and hearts and that is amazing.
