Tonight I saw BYU's "Living Legends" with my Aunt Annette, her boys, and my grandma. It was so wonderful and uplifting. (Thanks Annette!) It was a dance presentation telling the story of the ancient inhabitants of the Americas and Pacific Islands. I really had such a sweet feeling the whole time. I really find a lot of Heavenly Father in those kinds of productions and activities. Truth is truth wether it be in word, music, math, imagery, or nature. My favorite performance was the Polynesian wedding dance. It was romantic and sweet and it makes me feel hopeful as I face divorce. At the end the performers sang "I Am a Child of God" and shared a testimony of walking tall before God. I was choking up because I realized that now that I am walking away from my (in many ways) abusive marriage, I am free to choose the better part. I feel the Spirit more freely in my home. I now have the opportunity to make the gospel the full focus of my family. And Eve would be the best little hula dancer, or even a mariachi girl! I am excited for the next phase of my life. I just have to get through some messy and scary times, but I know Heavenly Father will take care of me.
