Tonight's entry will be short and sweet. I have commited myself to start over (again) with my life. I hope you have smelling salts on hand because today I did something that I haven't done since July 2011...I went to church! Yep, that's the rumble you heard about 9:30 this morning, but I have to say, it was a good thing. For the past few weeks, I've been feeling very isolated and alone...spiritually. We feed our bodies when they're hungry but so many times we neglect the soul. I haven't always been the kind of person I should be, but I have deep religious beliefs. I know that I'm here on this earth for a purpose, but I allowed myself to get sidetracked, out of touch, spiritually lost in a way. But thanks to loving family and friends, I was welcomed back with open arms. In case you haven't read my blog before, I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints...aka...Mormon. I really don't like to refer to my church as "Mormon" because there are so many misinformed people out there who judge because of what they've heard over the years. YES, we are Christians, YES we believe in God and His son Jesus Christ...hence the correct name. I've always found peace and comfort being an active member, but I'm also human and I let myself get caught up in worldly things. It's my desire to get back where I need to be....there's nothing quite as wonderful as knowing that He is with me and He loves me. And, not just me, our Heavenly Father loves all of His children...even when we're aren't very lovable; real, unconditional, eternal love.
Today was a long day but a good day. I'm thankful for the support and love from some very dear people...Sharon, Craig, Roxanne, and Bishop Cain. We give up on ourselves many times but thankfully there are people who are there for us, to help us spiritually and in many other ways. I am humble tonight, I am blessed tonight.
