The Beginning

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth... And God said let us make man in our image, after our likeness... So God created man in his own image... male and female created he them... And the Lord said it is not good that man should be alone, I will make an help meet for him." -Genesis 1:1,26-27;2:18
In this world there are times when we are alone and have none to rely upon, at others there are those that God puts into our lives to be an help meet, or a friend, or even an influential spokesman. Many of us must endure one of the hardest parts of life, loneliness. Even the greatest of us all, Christ the Lord, has had to feel loneliness, not only of man but of God himself just so he would know "according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities". We wonder why so many things happen to us in this life that put our faith and beliefs on the line, many of us ask why God allows 'ME' to suffer so much if He loves so. We go through live, at times, without Him when things are going great and give no gratitude no great thanks to Whom it belongs and then when something goes bad we are quick to turn more so against the Lord. We shortly realize why this Earth was even created. Man fell that the purposes of God might be fulfilled.
All who come into this life are not meant to be alone or desolate. We yearn for a belonging and a purpose of life. Many search and find things that temporarily fill but do not satisfy nor stay and must be repeated to fill the hole, which only seems to get bigger with every refill. We go through side streets, corners, red lights, and secret passages only to find the end result left us further away from our destination then where we started.
I am an example of one of these people indicated above. I took many paths in a orchard only to find myself in the jungle of a rain forest. I have struggled to find my place, my way, my purpose. I found myself alone, lost, never to find... but in the end, I was found by the findings of another.... "an help meet" if you will.
In this Genesis of my life, I took a great beating from the many ineptitude's of agency. I made what I thought, at the time, was the way for me to go. A way that only led to much distress, fear, hatred, and... inevitable forlornness.
In March of 2009, ALL this changed by the companionship of the best girl I have ever met, Valerie Natalia Soto. A woman I never thought possible to come into a life like mine. Within only a few months of courtship, she has helped me change who I am more than anything, save the Gospel of Jesus Christ, else on this earth. She and the Lord have molded me into who I am at this time, and I know will continue to mold and alchemy. Had it not been for the true grace of the Atonement of Jesus Christ and His Church this fantastic woman would never have come into my life. I owe my Saviour everything for His Atonement, life, and ministry. Thanks be to God for His mercy in giving me Valerie. I also owe my everything to Valerie for all she has already done for me. There are many things I could say and brag about her, which I will do in another post, but to summarize everything in a few simple but most heart felt words are these: "Thank You".
