Alone at the Temple

Jeromy and I have been trying to find ways to be more spiritual. So for the last month, Jeromy has been waking up at 4am every Tuesday to go to the early morning session at the temple. What an example he is to me! So I decided that maybe I should go alone too; after all, we don't have a babysitting co-op anymore and haven't been for awhile. Last night I went to the temple alone for the very first time. Let me remind you that I got married the day after going for my own endowment, and have gone with my sweet husband ever since (7.5 years). I don't know why I never did it alone, maybe a little bit of fear that it would be weird or lonesome or something. But let me tell you, it was very refreshing! I don't get a whole lot of chances to be alone these days, and to do something as spiritually rejuvenating as attending the temple and all by myself, it was just that: spiritually rejuvenating! I didn't have any distractions (except those people that apparently don't know how to whisper!) and so I could focus a lot better. I'm not saying that I'll never go with Jeromy again, just that it's great to go by myself every once in awhile. Anyway, I wholeheartedly recommend it! Now I've got plans to go there every other Wednesday (that's my self-appointed night off each week- love it!). It's times like these that remind us what days are to come and how we all could use all the help we can get to make it through these tough times, when the adversary is working overtime and getting more and more desperate. Anyways, I'm so happy I finally went by myself and so excited for next time!!
