Gad just posted something over on LDSFF that was a huge revelation for me. An excerpt:

Quote:
I teach my children that we must be baptized by water, receive the Holy Ghost, and then be adopted/sealed as a child of God by His voice. All three of these things happened on the day of Christ's baptism.


I realize that I have received these three things. I thought of the words spoken from above at Christ's baptism:

Quote:
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.


and realized that I had "followed the pattern" as Gad explained it.

I am afraid though, afraid that I have "treated lightly" sacred things and not responded appropriately or with the awe and respect that the occasion deserved. As you can see I am still weak, struggling with many things. I do feel that there is something yet further that I am needing to receive, and the Lord is getting a bit impatient with me (or perhaps I am getting impatient with myself) to step forward and fully accept what I have been given.

And it appears that for a time, the heavens have withdrawn - I am having a very difficult time with my prayers - I can;t help but feel that the Lord is displeased with me. I feel that I am "doing it wrong" and that I need him to come take me by the hand and guide me step by step in what I need to do next.

I do feel that for now I just need to be patient, humble myself, fast, pray, and things will come at the time intended. I am sorry, Lord, for my weakness.
