I Think About You Everyday.

I don’t know why… But I stumbled upon this talk by Elder Lynn G. Robbins the other day. I was in tears by the end of it, and I still don’t even know why I even chose to read this of all talks, But I did. I thought I would share the words that most caught my attention.

 There is nothing more powerful than love, nothing so motivating or that touches so many lives. There have been more books written, more movies made, and more songs sung about love than any other topic. Finding your eternal valentine is the ultimate treasure hunt. 

 Twitterpated? or some people, falling in love is a magical encounter, something that seems to happen at first sight, like that scene in the movie Bambi where Thumper becomes “twitterpated” at the first sight of a beautiful little bunny rabbit.

Being the Right One:
 Your success in marriage will depend largely on your ability to focus on improving yourself, rather than trying to reshape your spouse. It will depend more on being the right one than finding the right one. Pure love “seeketh not her own” (1 Cor. 13:5; Moro. 7:45).
The Savior is wise; His wisdom is beyond ours. We should trust Him. He is never wrong.

-------This is when I realized I should stop looking for the perfect man. Rather I should be focusing on myself to become the perfect woman. I know perfect is a strong word to use.. But I mean it in a sense that if I become the best I can possibly be, my eternal companion will see me as perfect. When I am always standing in holy places, my sweetheart will fall right into my life.
I relate this to Proverbs 31:10-31
"Who can find a virtuous woman?" A virtuous man can!

 “In selecting a companion for life and for eternity,” said President Kimball, “certainly the most careful planning and thinking and praying and fasting should be done to be sure that, of all the decisions, this one must not be wrong. In true marriage there must be a union of minds as well as of hearts”

 He won’t make the decision for you. He gives guidelines and principles, but the choice is yours.
Ask Him to bless you with the wisdom to recognize the attributes of godliness in your potential spouse. Is this a good man who will honor his priesthood.
(THIS PHRASE screamed at me when I read it)
 Is this a woman who will nurture our children in loving kindness?

 “But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.”

 It is a decision that will be made with both your heart and your head.

“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another” (John 13:34).

TRUE LOVE:
 True love—charity—suffereth long Is helpful instead of being critical of weaknesses. Charity does not criticize, is not cranky, and does not complain.

True love is kind.
Is happy, thoughtful, helpful, interested in others, a good Samaritan, merciful, and true love gives comfort.

True love thinketh no evil.
 Is not judgmental but respectful and trusting, pure and obedient; does not think evil of others by gossiping or finding fault; is modest in thought, dress, and speech; is not deceitful, cruel, or dishonest; avoids inappropriate music, pornography, and dirty jokes.

 True love rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth.
Has a temple recommend and wants an eternal marriage; stays close to the Spirit through regular scripture study and prayer; is responsible; is not light-minded.

 True love hopeth all things.
 Is an optimist who looks for the best; praises, builds up, and expresses affection. True love endureth all things. Doesn’t complain or murmur, is steadfast, accepts responsibility, and is industrious while showing initiative.

True love never faileth.
 The Lord is describing a love that deals with our behavior. And behavior isn’t something you fall into or out of. Behavior is something you control and decide. Agency is involved here. Finding Your Sweetheart -By Elder Lynn G. Robbins Of the Seventy


The other night I was listening in on a couple of friends conversation. I was blown away by how much thought had been put into these few scriptures.

Genesis 2
 7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;

22 And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.

It hit me. Getting married in the temple is much more than being together eternally.
There is no more "my other half".
You become ONE when you are sealed together for time and all eternity.
It makes me wonder: In the permortal life, was I formed from my eternal companion?
Is this where the love at first sight syndrome comes into play?
As humans, are we able to recognize our other half?
Maybe i'm just rambling, But it is something to think about.
I hope that one day i will be able to recognize my other half.
Maybe i've already met him.. But maybe not?


I also wanted to share with you this amazing video my friend showed me the other day. I'm in love with the love this couple shares. I know its a long one, but its well worth it I promise. I was in tears by the end of it. 

I can't wait to be as happy as this couple one day.
