Did you get it yet??

So I think it is kind of funny how Heavenly Father works. He will keep teaching us a lesson until we get it.

Well as you know I have ventured off in the uncharted waters of online dating. And since I am 30 I started thinking, well maybe I am just being too picky and that is why I haven't gotten married. So as I start talking to some people I think well I can over look this and I can over look that.

I taught the Young Women on Sunday about Marriage Standards. I gave them a Big Hunk and I said that although we are all wishing and hoping for the Big Hunk, I then pulled out these cute little sun glasses that I got from the 99 cent store with a little quote tied onto it saying "Look closely as you "eye" your prospective marriage partner. You will be yoked together for eternity. Be sure your "eyes" are on the same goals" I talked to them about setting goals like getting married in the temple and how I haven't compromised on that standard

Then the other day I caught myself trying to give a guy a chance, he was a member but hasn't been active for a while and started becoming active again recently, but obviously he can't take me to the temple. I was talking to my sister and she said the funniest thing. "Erin, I wish I could plop my brain in your head" Long story short she gave me comfort in rejecting someone because they don't currently have a temple recommend.

So needlessly to say I think the Young Women Message was for me just as much as it was for them. And it is like Heavenly Father is saying to me, "Duh Erin, Did you get it yet?" Yes, Heavenly Father, I got it. I started looking at guys profiles and if they say under the temple status side, "temple worthy no recommend, rather not say, etc." I don't even give them a second glance.
