Challenges.

This week has been an interesting one. It started on Saturday when I told my mom that I still had things I needed to talk to our bishop about. After I told my mom that, I decided that it was time to actually gather the courage to talk to my bishop. On Sunday, in Sunday school the lesson was on the Atonement and not procrastinating repentance--as if i needed any more reasons to do it; I think the Lord was giving me that final push. So I told my bishop that I needed to talk to him and I, of course, burst into tears so he told me to come see him right after church. I can promise you that going through with what I did was one of the most challenging, but yet relieving things I have ever done. I walked out of his office with this uplifted feeling in my chest and for the first time in a long time I had hope. Mike and I are both getting back on the right path and we will get married in the temple within the next couple years. My main goal right now is to continue through the repentance process till I'm finished and to help Mike through it also. He's struggling a lot right now and I need to be more patient and understanding with him. I love him more than anything and we can make it. I'll see him a week from tomorrow so I'm very excited for that.
