In this vast sea of unleashed thoughts from the diversity that we have been given by our Creator, how do I jump in? With what should I create my waves? Do I start at the beginning or should I begin with the present? Well, I do not have much time to comtemplate on this matter for I have a HUGE pile of dishes persistently calling me to attend to them. Therefore, like all great writers, I will begin at the beginning... Once upon a time there was a girl who fell hopelessly in love with a boy. But not any boy, might I add. This boy was different. He did not seem to be in love with the ways of the world but , rather, with the ways of his Creator. This was new to him, but the obvious fingerprint of God was all over the manner in which he addressed this young girl. Now, this girl being recently made a princess of the King, was enamored by his simple, honest,and spiritual ways and , thus, a match was made! After five long years of serving their time at the higher institution, they were united as one in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and ninety-three. For the next five years the very young couple would grow tremendously in their new faith together and strive toward living out the decrees of the King, who ever so graciously provided the means to do so. Did this mean that there were never any battles to fight or dragons to slay. By no means. What a boring life that would be! Throughout those years they both had to face many a battle, both together and against one another. However, through it all, the King was constantly on watch and was never far when wounds needed to be healed or hearts mended. For the King knew that without these trials, this young couple would not have been able to develop such a deep love for each other. Now the couple was ready to share their love with a child of their own and nine months later a precious baby girl was all theirs. She grew in beauty, energy, intelligence, and in the knowledge of the King, her true Creator. The couple enjoyed their new child so much, they were blessed with another precious girl who God blessed with a thoughtful and giving heart, more shy than her sister, beautiful and intelligent, too, as well as strong in spirit. These two girls brought much joy to the couples life, so much so that they could not even fathom sending them away at such tender ages to be trained in the ways of the world by people who did not know or love them like their parents did. Thus, the couple felt the King provide them with an answer. Keep the girls at home and continue to love, train, guide, and direct their paths in the knowledge of the Truth. Faithfully they set out. The young women would bear the greatest responsibility for the teaching as the young man had to work to support his little family. Through the joys and the tears they continued on this journey for they knew that in their hearts this was the path that their King was leading them on. They also knew that no matter what happened He would give them the wisdom to teach them thoroughly in what mattered the most. Well, they felt that their family had a lot to share with another little life, so nine months later they were blessed this time with a son. What pride the young man had and what joy leapt from the mother's heart. This little boy was welcomed with great love from all those in the family and continues to get bigger, stronger, and smarter with each passing day. He, too, will experience an environment where he may grow in stature and wisdom in those things that are eternal. The couple continues on their journey to this very hour, sometimes with eagerness and sometimes with angst, but they know that there are others that the King has called to a similar path and they find comfort in this.
