All throughout my life there has only been one thing that has remained forever constant and forever consistent. It is one of the very few places that I have found true happiness as well. This thing, no matter where I go, is always there. It is always the same and it is always something that I have been able to fall back on, lean on, and depend upon.
This thing is the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Yes, I am a 'Mormon' (aka a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints). Let's just get that out of the way. There has been negative light and positive light shined down upon this church by people not of this faith. I urge you to find out for yourself about it, listen to the missionaries or go to www.mormon.org. There is a lot of false information floating around about the church and if you want to know more you need to get the facts. Search for the truth.
Now, I'm not trying to force my beliefs on anyone reading this. You do you. I'll do me. I just wanted to share with you what I find important and why. To let you inside my mind to help you understand who I am because it plays such a huge role in my little life.
Back to my train of thought. This Gospel is the reason why I am the way that I am. It is my rock. It is the firm foundation by which I live my life. No matter where I am in my life, physically and spiritually, it has always been the same, no matter which LDS church building I go to, the principles that it teaches remain the same. It has always remained constant and consistent. It is something that I depend heavily upon, without it life would be a chaotic disaster, with no direction or organization, whatsoever. And for those of you who personally know me, organization is how I function.
It has been with me in my ups and downs and it always will be. It has lifted me up during my lowest lows and has given me hope when all I could see was darkness. I have seen miracles, as well as blessings and tender mercies from our loving Heavenly Father. I have felt His love at times when I have felt unlovable. I have learned through experiences and trials that I am known to God and Jesus Christ. They know me personally. Just as They know you personally. I have learned what true happiness is and I have learned what pure love is, all because I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
