This one:
After years of refusal (an interesting story about me and "My Plan", rather than my Heavenly Father's plan for me...) and months of not seeing, I was prompted. NOW was the time. Now was the time I was to go through the temple. Not live worthily and see what happens, but "Do what you are supposed to do to be ready...NOW." So, after a meeting with the bishop, a time goal was set, callings were accepted, assignments taken on. He, of course, kept close tabs on me...and after I got through my speaking assignment in Sacrament Meeting last week, I was called in again.
"Do you remember what time we said?"
"Three months-ish."
"Yes. How many months has it been?"
"About three months."
"Go ahead and pick your date...you're ready."
I've never been so happy, giddy, smiley, bouncy in my life. I called and made the appointment this morning! I'm going to the 10 AM session at the Salt Lake Temple: ON MY 30TH BIRTHDAY! I'm feeling butterflies: that wonderful mix of anticipation, wonderment and excitement all rolled into one. It feels like I have so much to do-and learn before I go through...with so little time to do it in...but it absolutely feels...
RIGHT.
Much Love,

It was finally my turn, and did I ever take it :)
Oh man... I spent the evening with the Bishop and Stake Pres. Everything's on go! :)
