I Bet This is What Heaven is Like

I went to a family ward today. MY family ward. The one where there are married people that aren't in the bishopric. The one where there are multiple ages other than 18-30 (and the slackers who keep hanging around after they're 30). The one where it's like real church.  I was super nervous, until I knew so many people already and felt so comfortable there. So many reached out to me, and it was so easy to reach back. It was wonderful.  I feel like that when I go to the temple as well. I always run into someone I know-usually someone I haven't seen in a while. Everyone is so peaceful, the Spirit permeates the building, and it's so quiet I can hear the electricity humming in the celestial room. More than once I've thought: "I bet this is what heaven is like." I felt like that today at church. I have been putting off making this transition for so long, and today I wondered what the hold up was. I was so comfortable with the process of the singles ward, yet so unhappy. I wasn't being spiritually fed, I didn't feel needed, and the dating aspect (the reason they were created in the first place) has always been non-existant. It made me wonder if there are other things I've been holding on to that maybe I should let go of. That maybe Heavenly Father-in His infinite wisdom and complete and perfect knowledge of me-has more to give me in other aspects of my life as well. I've been holding on so tightly, but maybe it's just time to "Let go and let God."  Something to think about. Lots to think about. Maybe there are more heavenly experiences in my future...I'm kind of scared and excited to find out.
