Celebrating My Eternal Life

I went to the temple on Saturday. It was an incredibly beautiful night, both inside the temple, and out. The sun was setting just right, and made for a magical light. I had to stop and grab a picture real quick before entering the doors. I love the Boise, Idaho temple. It has become a refuge of peace and hope for me.

While I was there I felt so alive, and everything seemed to just touch my heart in a powerful way. Sometimes I go and sit restfully, and peacefully, and other times I am on the edge of my seat while being filled with inspiration and learning. I just felt like my mind and heart were really open, and I was being taught from On High. I love it when that happens. I love to learn. I love to have my mind expand with understanding and light. It is the best!

Tomorrow I celebrate my mortal birth into this world, and it is wonderful that I am turning 35. But what I am really grateful for is the reality that I am an eternal being, without beginning or end. This life is just a part of the journey -- an intense part -- but just a small piece of my forever.

I am grateful for the chance to be here, right now, on earth. It is scary, and exciting, filled with danger, and also wonder and joy. I am grateful to be an immortal being in a mortal body. I am grateful to be alive. I am grateful I will live forever. Anything less than forever would not be long enough.

Hooray for Eternal Life!
