Thank you for sharing your touching story and for reminding me of the significance of covenants in our personal lives. Welcome back and all the best to you!
Enjoyed this podcast. Thanks to you both. Welcome back, Julie! What stands out to me in your story is how much the Lord loves those who leave, and how much patience he has for those who leave.
I love that priesthood blessing. I love that it's BOTH "God will love and be patient you regardless" and "You could receive more. You could choose to return to full activity in the Lord's church."
Wonderful story! You are a great individual and a great mother! Your ability to step away in order to learn what is important for you has made you stronger, and it will likely be a great example for your children to find their own way in the world.
Thank you for sharing. Priesthood, covenants, temples. So powerful. And then you mentioned going to the temple with your dad and it got a little dusty. I lost my dad this year but cherish the times we were able to go to the temple. Now I strive to build better relationships with my children. Thank you again for sharing!
