Obedience Brings Blessings
Exact Obedience Brinfs Miracles.
I love that quote! It is so true! We have seen the blessings of being obedient. However, we cannot believe and stand in awe of the miracles that take place as we exercise exact obedience.
I have been seeking to learn and understand the voice and prompting of the Homy Ghost for the last year or so. As I have expressed that desire, it seems that every where I turn there are talks or information presented. It has been such a blessing.
On Saturday, April 1, I received my letter from the First Presidency informing me that my previous sealing has been canceled. The most precious part of the letter was addressing the promises made to children born under that covenant. The letter state that the children born under that covenant are still entitled to the blessings and promises from that covenant. Then, it stated Matt and so have clearance to be sealed beginning on the one year anniversary of our civil union. I have ached to have one Anniversary. I am so grateful that Prasan's heart was softened and able to allow him to not hinder my moving forward.
Monday, April 3, I came home to a phone call from Morgan. She was calling to tell me she is pregnant. I am so excited for this sweet niece. It has been such a blessing to have her back in our lives. Excited that finally after lots of time, she has been blessed with expecting a baby. During our conversation, she said, "tell matt he is on notice. He has 6 months. This baby needs some his age." We giggled, but in the back of my mind I thought - all the stress has been messing with my cycle. It probably won't happen as I thought about being late my last cycle and I am currently late again. After the previous months let down. I knew I was not, it was just all the stress.
After hanging up, I thought I may as well put myself out of my misery and take a pregnancy test. I was absolutely shocked and surprised to see the results. Positive! It showed i was pregnant. I was so excited, but I could not just text this to Matt. I wanted to do something cute, but I couldn't keep this to myself till Wednesday. So, I called the hotel and asked for the front desk. A gentleman answered the phone and I thought this will be a dud. I explained my husband is there for work, I just learned I am pregnant and i want to tell him but not with a phone call. He volunteered to get a bun from the kitchen and deliver it with a note "There's a bun in the oven . . . "
After several minutes, I got a phone call. "Babe, are you serious? Is this real?" We are expecting!! The Lord is so good when you are obedient with exactness.
