Because we all have to have one right? I am not talking about birth, no. That was A beginning, we're talking the NEW beginning. The beginning of my Happily Ever After, because yes, I do get one of those too. My new beginning started with a heartbreak, just like many beginnings do. Let me help you out though, you don't need to worry, this was probably thee best heartbreak I could have ever asked for. I wont go into much detail about the heartbreak, we've all experienced them. No need right? I think I will say this though... the power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ covers every pain or hurt you could ever imagine. There is a pain that we each eventually experience that dwells deep within our souls. So deep in fact that sometimes we ourselves don't even realize how much pain we are in. Until that moment, the one when the sky that just seconds ago was dark, gloomy and unbearable, changes in an instant to the most breath taking vision you have ever seen. It sweeps you off your feet, it takes away your breath, it leaves you standing outside with your eyes closed, face towards the Son. This is the moment when the tables turn, the doubt and fear that you may not have known you were feeling suddenly departs and you are happier than you ever imagined you could be, more than you believe that you could possibly deserve. This is the new beginning that I have been talking about.
This is where that moment led me. To the greatest blessing, the greatest joy that I have ever known. I knew from our first date, as did my parents and siblings, that Camron and I would be married for time and all eternity. Had I not experienced that moment, I firmly believe that I would not be with my unbelievably handsome, loving husband, were it not for the moment when I felt the Lord rid me of my seemingly endless pain, He lifted my yolk, released me from the bonds of Hell, and freed my shattered heart from the bondage that I thought it would never escape. Through Him, I now have a life worth living. I have a wonderful husband, companion, and equal to wake up to every morning, to go to sleep with every night, and to raise a family throughout all eternity. The greatest part of all of this is that Jesus Christ healed me. He reminded me of what He did for me, and helped me to find the man that said "yes" to forever.
I truly have experienced my Once Upon a Time, full of trials and tribulation, evil and adversity, and I now am beginning my Happily Ever After. Still surrounded with all the things of the world, I, with my eternal companion by my side, take the Savior's hand and walk through the dark knowing that there is a "place of rest prepared for [us]."
