So before tonight I was a dyed in the wool nay sayer of Sister Beck. But after tonight I have turned the corner. She was the speaker at NYC Regional YSA fireside tonight at Lincoln Center Building ajoining the Temple. She really just opened it up for questions and taught from the scriptures.
I learned so much about following what the Lord has for us to do. Knowing also that the path that we will follow will be rough and will bring us anguish, but is altogether for our on good. She also had some great insights on what it takes to find the person who you will spend the rest of your life with. She doesn't believe in soulmates and I'm leaning toward her view that we are supposed to be with a person who is as strong and dedicated to the Gospel as yourself and will do their best to get to the Celestial Kingdom with you. There is more but I'll keep it to myself to feast and cherish. I wish there was more that she had time to speak on.
Jury duty tomorrow. Civic duty. yay.

I don't believe in soulmates either. There were several guys I dated that I would have been happy with and could have made a life with. Daniel was just the best choice out of all of them :)
ReplyDeleteSoulmates just take away the whole "agency" thing.
