The Journey To Eternity.

My liddo Fa'amona bwoii is a heading into his fourth week this week. Wow, where has the time gone?! He still manages to have his ten toes and fingers, and SLOOOOOOWLY but surely growing hair on his head. I notice something new about him everyday, from his personality, to his physical appearance. He is all I ever want to talk about. I mean, i'm at my in-laws talking about how he throws up! Why would that even be a topic to consider talking about to your in-laws? I guess i'm just proud at the fact that I have a child. He is my EVERYTHING, and i'm the type of mother who is proud of her children, even if they're half bald.

Being married, and having a child at this age is probably the craziest thing someone my age could possibly do. From being unstable, to having moments where you're not able to do things you would've done if you were still single. They're definitely has been temptations, and it has become harder since the birth of our little one. But by the end of the day, my husband and I remember the blessings that will come in the after life. We constantly remind ourselves why where here, and regardless of the downfalls, how to stay focused on the right path. Since my marriage, I have learned so much about the doctrine, and notice how I have misinterpreted it in various ways. At this point, I thank the counseling of my father. To keep me focused on why marriage in the temple is a BIG DEAL. It's coming to the last days where women would rather not bare children, then to have them and not be sealed to them forever. It scares me as a mother. Now you have to understand why. we are brought here to return to our father in heaven. our knowledge is tested. our goal is to make it back to the celestial kingdom, and become like gods with our families.That could only happen thru sealing of the temple. once you're sealed, nothing could break that bond of forever.

I look to my son and become more desirous of the temple. I may have not done it the right way, but it doesn't stop me from trying to become right with god. I want and NEED to become right with God only because when I look at my little growing family, I see ever-lasting love. The adversity may face me with challenges, and trials daily, but because I know, and I was taught that a family can last forever, it is not something I look to as ever breaking my family apart.

I am thankful for the challenge of already starting a family at a young age, I have seen my husband and I blossom, and become more mature. What takes some a long time to understand, we have already understood. We have become more focused and in tune to what life is teaching us, and becoming more thoughtful and cautious to the hardships that we have, and will face. It is our turn to take part in what our parents and ancestors have sacrificed, and that is to become like gods in the Kingdom of glory.
