Very interesting iWitness. I wholeheartedly concur with Amonhi's summation of your situation. This wondering and sometimes hesitancy to accept that we have received our CE is very common, as witnessed by so many stories on this site. In addition to what Amonhi stated, I want you to know that it is common for patriarchs, bishops, and priesthood holders in general, to give us blessings with pure intelligence through the Spirit which we may or may not recognize at the time. One of my favorite stories which my son and his wife shared with me long ago is when they attended a temple wedding, and the sealer told the newlyweds, in the name of the Lord, that they were sealed by the Holy Spirit of Promise. Very few people in the room, including the bride and groom, seemed to grasp the weight of that inspired pronouncement. A marvelous promise was made but it was thought to be just what is said in the sealing ordinance-like a promise based on faithfulness. But it was not based on faithfulness, it was based on their current status before the Lord-very much like your patriarchal blessing appears to be.
Thanks for having the courage to share your story. Welcome to a whole new world of perception and thinking! We love you and want you to know that we empathize, because we have experienced many similar emotions and events.
