“I can’t I’m preppin” to enter the Temple.
About a year ago two great friends and I made a logo for our jumpers. ”I can’t I’m prepin”. Our ultimatim for this jumper was to prove that we were focused on serving a Mission first and then getting married in the Temple. Now Sister Manning (Sariah) is serving and has been out for almost 10 months in Colarado. One out of the three absolutely done what was planned and desired. Funny how things can change slowly. I suppose ‘our ways are not the Lords’ would be the right phrase to use right about now. Slowly I have seen my heart-felt desire to serve my Mission fade away… And I’ve spoken with a few Family members how I can put off my Mission for the Blessing of the Temple. To be honest I still want to serve my Mission. Would it be selfish of me to ask him to wait? Sometimes I feel as though I am lying to my heart and the Lord. As a young girl I ALWAYS knew in my heart that I wanted to serve a Mission. Second I knew I wanted to go so badly because I really didn’t have a preference as to where I wanted to serve. My answer was the same and still is the same when people ask ‘Where do you want to serve’ What comforts me the most is knowing that everything leads to the Temple. Every other goal that I have in mind is centred by the Savior Jesus Christ and the only way to fulfill that further is to enter the Temple perhaps not through Serving a Mission… I’m not suggesting Marriage is a carnal thing. It’s not, infact it is a beautiful ordinance. The Covenants that I will make in the Temple one day will be so significant to the Family I will raise with my Eternal companian. It takes a leap of Faith to settle down with someone you have fallen in love with. Regardless of thier past or yours. The Lord works in mysterious ways, he has a humor you and I both know about. I’ve come to the conclusion that although My mind and heart was set on serving that Mission and making this Jumper was specifically for it, I suppose in a way I can change it’s meaning to “I can’t I’m prepin” to enter the Temple with my Eternal Companian. One day you will come to two very great decisions as Sisters in this great Gospel to serve a mission or enter the Temple - I thought I would never have to come to making a decision so significant like this However the Lord knows us best. Fervent Prayer and Scripture study surely will bring your answer and sometimes your heart knows the answer already you just have to take that leap of Faith and guard your self from any unworthy acts that will prohibit your entrance through the front door of the Lords home with an “I Can’t I’m prepin” attitude.
