Where Will I stand?

    Although she wasn't here for long, Sister Houck left a long lasting impression on me. Something I'll never forget. A dream, more like a reminder it seems. A wake up call of sorts. Although it is her dream, I have written it in my perspective using "I" and "Carolyn" in it. I invite you to put yourself, and your name into this as well.

     Screaming. Crying. Yelling. Darkness fills the air. Hope is lost for most. The most terrible way to end. It's the second coming, and I can see the temple in the distance, placed upon a cliff, absolutely beautiful amid the terror going on around it. A beacon of light among the darkness. Running away from the fire and destruction around me, I had my eyes set on the temple, the safe Point, to meet my family, knowing I was worthy! I knew if I could just reach the temple, I would be safe and find my family. When I got there, instead of asking for my temple recommend, the temple worker asked to see my socks, to make sure they were white and clean. As the words came from her mouth, my heart sank. For I knew my socks were dirty beyond belief. Soiled and disgusting. As I removed my shoes i heard her say the words I would never wish to hear. "Carolyn, I am sorry. but you are unworthy to enter the house of the lord. You allowed yourself to become dirty with sin." So i had to walk back into the world, and become one of the unworthy hanging along the temple side. Knowing I was unworthy and unwanted in the House of The Lord.


    After hearing this, I don't think I will ever be the same. Even if we appear to be clean and worthy to go inside to others, our Heavenly Father knows what's on the inside of us, if we're truly righteous and worthy. At the last day, that's what will truly count. Where will I stand on that last day? Are the choices I've made choices that will leave me unworthy and unwanted in the house of The Lord?
