Tears streamed down my face and I fell to my knees, the Holy Ghost had left me. I felt void of anyones presence as I prayed, empty in my heart and left desire-less. This just wasn't me and that only meant one thing, he was gone.
Why did the Holy Ghost leave me? I urge you to remember...
However, sometimes removing the Holy Ghost from our lives forces us to re-evaulate our spirituality and spiritual well being. It gives us time to listen to what the Holy Ghost may have already told you, as it is often essential to his eternal plan and even our salvation.
So what was he trying to tell me?
Please get married and get married now!
My first marital prompting came nearly 9 months ago, when I prayed about marriage with Austin and found my answer within the scriptures. However, since conversing with my parents who did not support our decision, I chose to wait. I wanted to wait for my time.
Since then, I have had many promptings to get sealed to Austin in the Temple for time and all eternity. Most of those promptings coming in the form of a gut feeling and sure knowledge of something that seemed nearly impossible. I just wouldn't listen. I was convinced that waiting wasn't a bad thing, but a worthy compromise for my family. Yet, sometimes the hardest time to discern the voice of the Holy Ghost is when you are trying to find your way between two good things. Though waiting wasn't a bad thing, it wasn't what God had planned for me.
I know that getting married is Heavenly Father's plan for me. I can testify to you that I know everything is going to be okay. That though I may not know how everything will work, he will provide a way. I am so thankful that God loves us enough to cut us down.
I was a simple, stubborn young woman who wanted to listen but chose not to. Thus, he did the only thing he could to truly get my attention and help me understand what I couldn't on my own.
