7 road blocks that keep your from the spirit

So this last weekend was full of spiritual learning. I have not been to the temple in a long time so I made plans to go to the temple last Saturday. We made an appointment for the 11 o'clock session. The temple is about 90 min away so we left at 9:00 to be there with plenty of time to spare. its interesting that every time i try to go to the temple Satan always tries to get in the way and prevent me from going... this time was no exception. We were 2 exits away and still had plenty of time, when all the sudden there was an accident and lots of traffic. To make a long story short we missed our session by 2 minutes!!!! I was really bugged and just wanted to go home, luckily my friend Tamara said no we can still go and do sealings and inititorys. I am so glad we did. it was a neat experience and Satan didn't stop us. :)

The next day at church the theme in sacrament was about hope... and of course we are in a singles ward so no surprise one of the talks had to do with marriage and to have hope that we will be married all i could do was laugh even though the speaker gave some good advice. we had a combined priesthood and relief society where the Bishop gave a great lesson where he shared

The 7 roadblocks that keep you from the spirit. I want to share them with all of you. They are

• prayer without intent
• fasting without a purpose
• taking the sacrament without true repentance
• scripture study without scripture searching
• counting assets without counting blessings
• temple attendance without preparation
• temple sealing without a celestial marriage

I thought that all of thees points were really good and there are definitely a few of these that I need to work on.

hope all is going well for you guys
