A Vegan Spouse?—My Response and Thoughts

I have met so many people lately it is crazy.

I also met my future mother in law—it's kinda a long story—but we'll share that later.

Or now.

Ok, so here I am at an LDS employment workshop and lo and behold, I meet another vegan.

SHUT UP!!!!

Ya, so of course, I ask, " You have any sons?'

And she did ;) ...

There is no guarantee lol but there's hope :)

It is something I have definitely thought about lately and for some time now—that is, who will I marry? To whom will I spend the rest of my life with?

 

Will I marry a vegan?

 

The question stands open and waiting for response—response that I already know the answer to.

 

To be truly fully happy,...some things have to be the same in a relationship.

 

I have to the conclusion that while yes, opposites attract, some things have to be the same.

 

And it is my conclusion, that while it might prove difficult to find a Latter-day Saint vegan spouse, it is NOT impossible.

 

To say it is impossible is to tell God to His face, "I don't trust you, your power only has limits and cannot make itself manifest in my life."

 

I joke that I met my future mother-in-law, but the fact of the matter is this:

there are Mormon vegans out there, but more importantly, to lack faith in my future is to lack faith in God and His power to lead my life.

 

however silly that may seem

Mt Grateful list 10/09/2014

My Future at times seems foggy. My past at times (more often lately) seems unbeautiful. But my future seems to hold brighter lights than does the present.

However, there is so much good going on in my life right now.
