I was a GOOD person. I followed all the laws--well, mostly! I'll admit, I did go a little too fast sometimes, but never anything major. I had a job I was good at--not something I loved, but it paid well, and we lived very comfortably. I donated to organizations that helped the less fortunate...did all the things I should--that society expected of me as a good person.
I went to church
regularly--Sunday morning, Sunday night, Wednesday night...attended camps and
retreats. I read my scriptures and prayed faithfully--over meals, at night,
whenever someone asked me to.
I knew all about you.
You were part of my life--but safely separate from my everyday activities. You
were "up there"--where I could take you down when I needed to, but
you didn't get in my way.
And then I met
you--really met you. You left "up there"...stepped out of the pages
of my scriptures--and called me by name.
You came into my life
and disrupted it! You led me down paths I used to ignore...into situations I
didn't want to deal with. You showed me people in need--real people who needed
me, not just my money. You asked me to speak up...to speak out...to be your
hands and feet...your voice.
Life WAS so much
easier before I met you--but I can't go back. I don't want to go back. I don't
know where the road is leading...who my fellow travelers will be...what I will
experience. I don't know how difficult my life will be, moving on--but I've
learned that none of that matters since I met you.
