A Thank You To All of My Shepherds

In the midst of Christmas, family, new years and life's little struggles I failed to blog about my anniversary. It has been a year since I have become a member of the LDS church. I wasn't living a life far from the gospel a skip of a beat here and there but for the most part the gospel "lifestyle" was easy for me to transition into. I came into this as a shy awkward sheep. How wonderful the Shepherd's I have had around me always willing to love, serve, teach and guide me. I will be eternally grateful for the examples you have been. You have helped shaped me into the Shepherd I so desired being when I came into this. The women and their families in my ward amaze me on a regular basis and have taught me to set the standard high. My husband who has held my hand through all of this with his patience,love and sweet spirit. I'm not sure he recognizes the eminence of what he has done for me, for us for our families, I pray everyday for ways to show him. I was promised to see the many blessings,and to feel the spirit in my heart...... and I do. D&C: 8;2: Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart. P.S. Mom, Dad and Sister you're next!

You have no idea what your testimony has done for our family! Thank you so much for being who you are and bringing the spirit into our homes when you are with us. I have never felt uncomfortable about talking with you about the church. My testimony has grown so much just by watching you and Clint. Love ya sis!

Heather - you are awesome! How blessed I am to have you as such a close friend. I find myself constantly bragging about you! Congrats on that 1 year mark. It seems like yesterday we were in your home with the missionaries having discussions and trying to answer all those questions of yours! Keep those questions coming! Love you!

This is Christy by the way. Didn't realize I was logged in under James' account! - Just in case you thought he was getting a little "fresh" :)
