A few weeks ago Lee was called as the First Counselor in the Bishopric...and I'm so proud of him!
Ten years ago we were not even active members of the Church. I'm thankful Lee reached a point in his life where he had enough, knew things HAD to change and he knew there was someone who had felt ALL of his hurts and sorrows, knew his hopes and dreams and loves him unconditionally. Someone who knows things we do not and works in mysterious ways we often times don't fully understand. I'm forever grateful Lee placed his life in the loving hands of our Father in Heaven.
Although in the beginning I just came along for the ride, I am so incredibly thankful my heart was softened. I can quite honestly say that although that time of our lives was the most painful, difficult time I have ever gone through... I am thankful. I can reflect upon that period with a strong assurance that the Lord has a plan for us and sometimes because of OUR actions it cuts deep and we have feelings of such hopelessness and despair. Just remember...He never said it would be easy. He only said it would be worth it!
So...I'm proud of Lee because his testimony carried me for a long time, his faith showed me miracles and his love gave me a Forever Family.
