I knew we had different religious backgrounds. I was raised and active in the LDS church...he had no religion in his life. I knew, despite what others thought that he would join the church. After a year of marriage, he was coming to church with me on occasion yet didn't have much of a desire to have the gospel in his life. I, along with my parents, prayed and prayed that he would join the church soon. In April of last year, I, being 3 months pregnant, received a collect call from my husband telling me he had been arrested. I AM AMAZING because I continued to stick by my husband. I faced all the "looks" and "rumors" every where I went. For the next few months, I supported my husband more then ever. I saw him take a desire to change his life. He took the discussions and asked to be baptized. He read the scriptures with me everyday. I saw him pray for the first time in his life. Although, he was not permitted to be baptized until he "payed his dept to society," he continued to go to church, he paid his tithing. He realized what he truly wanted in his life, and he strived for it. In August of 2007 he was sentenced to one year in prison (even against the prosecuting attorney's recommendations..who recommended probation...he was a first time offender who committed a minor drug offense.) I was 6 weeks from giving birth to our first child. I AM AMAZING because I wrote my husband every single day. I drove four hours each way...every week to see him. I AM AMAZING because I gave birth to our daughter all on my own, without my husband by my side. I AM AMAZING because I did everything in my power so that my daughter and my husband could meet as soon as possible (lots and lots of paper work). I was told she would be 6-8 weeks before he would be able to see her. I made it possible in 2 weeks. I AM AMAZING because I then raised my daughter for 3 months of her life on my own. On Dec. 19, 2008...one week before Christmas...my husband was released from prison. Less than 2 months later...my husband was baptized. Next month my husband will be ordained the melchizedek priesthood. And on my daughter's 1st birthday she will be blessed into the church...by her father. And in Feb. 2009, we will be sealed together for all time and eternity. I AM AMAZING because I had faith, perseverance, and endearing love to stick by someone who needed it more than ever...and it paid off. <BR/>(Sorry this is so long...I'm not sure how to shorten it). I really appreciate this challenge.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06959103647545590714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220161407890623567.post-85332883008986501932008-08-15T02:13:00.000-06:002008-08-15T02:13:00.000-06:00I am amazing because...
