It was a clear and spotless morning as we headed to the Oakland Temple with Lucy. In preparation for her mission, each sister and elder must enter the temple to make and keep covenants to be better prepared to share the gospel of Jesus Christ.
This day is made in preparation and has been worked towards over a lifetime💕

She was a bit nervous but in her face I saw more of her quiet confidence and ability to comprehend the significance of this step in her life.
She was ready :)
Post temple : joy for Lucy Jane!
my adorable lookalikes
I just know how much they love each other...
How much they understand each other and their patience for each other.
I think she chose to be with Clay in this life and trusted that whoever he married she would love and trust as well :)

While in the temple we talked and I told her how she had been there before, just inside of me :)
I told her about the time I went to the temple and came out with what I would name her and how it felt like she had named herself.
How I felt like she knew us already and couldn't wait to come to us here on earth :)
To say it was a full circle moment is an understatement.
I felt humbled by the peace and strength received.
I couldn't believe we were already there...
how had we passed through 19 years to this day?
But such is life, it moves within the laws of the universe.
Days and nights melding into months and years, creating life and creating my own family life here on earth.
I am grateful for the temple. To be worthy but in all actuality, so imperfect to enter.
For continued revelation that changes and improves as life moves on.
My heart yearns for more 💗
Other thoughts are deeper in my heart.
I'll hold them there and keep them.
But, this was a special day...one of which I hope to experience again.
P.S.
We visited the grounds last week in preparation for this day :)
