Love him to the moon and back.


  • So proud of my Husband, and how far he has come! What a great guy!
    Josh Redd Testimony - Sunday, February 10, 2013
    When I was 12 my grandfather died. He was the single most important person in my life. I blamed God for his death. This lead me to make bad decisions. I didn't believe that my decisions hurt anyone other than myself. It wasn't until recently that I realized that my decisions affected many people. I need to apologize to my family. I think that they are amazing and they need to know that. Kids, the trials that we have gone through in the past year are trials that would tear any family apart. They have not been easy and you have been amazing through it all. My wife is awesome. She saw something in me when I saw nothing in myself - she stood by me. At 35 years old I found God. I know I'm a child of God. I hope others don't have to endure the same things that we've gone through.
    I have a testimony. We are here to grow, develop, stumble, be exposed, and learn. The devil will be there. don't let him get to you - it's a sham. This is a wonderful ward. This ward is forgiving and powerful. we look for ways to help. Christ gave his life for us. He said it was worth it and for this I'm grateful. When trials test your beliefs you find good people around you. Good friends who surround you with support and love. I'm grateful for our bishopric and for their confidence in me and for telling me that I'm a great person.
    I have found peace in the scriptures. I was able to go to the temple for the first time in 6 months. It was so busy. We got there at 6:30 and didn't get in until the 8pm session. However, it didn't matter how busy the temple was - it was peaceful.
    I'm grateful for family. I'm grateful for good parents, a good foundation and wonderful children. I have faith that we'll be fine in the end of all of this as long as we're faithful.
    If I have offended you or hurt you in any way, I ask your forgiveness. Thank you for making me feel important, special and needed. Thanks for helping me realize and making me feel that I'm a Son of God.
    I love this gospel and I'm grateful for this ward. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
