I need some help here!

I am at a crossroads here. I have a testimony of the gospel, and I miss going to church so much, I just can't go. I feel like I need something to help me along. I love the lord and I love my life.(sometimes) But, I don't feel like I belong to any ward. The bishop came over and introduced himself and brought the elders with him. It was spur of the moment but it was welcomed. Even the RS president called me. I have been hurt by people in the church and I don't know if I can put myself out there to trust again. I know that the brothers and sisters here don't judge me and that I can be honest here. Thanks for everything gang! Donna

I have been where you are, so there is no judgement, just honesty. Donna, your spiritual journey has nothing to do with other people. Yes, we have to deal with them and some of them are jerks, but if someone at church hurts you and you withdraw from the gospel, it's not hurting them. Will they have to answer for their behavior at some point? Absolutely, but you choice only affects your salvation, not theirs. It's better that you jump into the game and slap someone down if they overstep their bounds. Don't sit this out. It's too important. You're too important. You never know who needs you. You never know who might turn up that you need.

Thanks for that shot in the arm. there are days i feel like a reject twice over. Been married twice and both failed. I wonder what i did wrong. Donna

Marriages don't generally fail because of what one person did. Sometimes the only think that could have been changed is our choice of mate. There are alot of worse things than a failed marriage (not to minimize your pain AT ALL). You are a good person. Good people have problems.

Honey one thing I have learned is that not one person can sirpass your need to attend Sunday meeting. Im different from MANY of the woman in my ward. Im okay with it. I have made great friends with the other woman who do not care about how or why Im different. Please go back start slow if you need. Heavenly Father loves you. Lets pray! Dear HEavenly Father, Please help my freind Donna to feel at peace when going to her meetings. Lord please shine your love the only way you can. Calm her heart and relax her body. Help her contenue her love for your work. Heavenly Father I ask that u teach her to ONLY TRUST IN YOU, and with that being done she will be blessed in wonderful ways. I ask these things in your name, Jesus Christ AMEN.

Thank you

Hey I sometimes think I am the only one with this problem. So I decided that I would go back in relife society when molly mormon gives a lesson and tells us that having a family home eveing with a football night is not like having one I then speak up and say something like this if my family is all together and we have somekind of lesson befor or after what is the dif. I thought is was family home eveing. Hun hang in there find one friend and bond. It can happen. when is was a part member nobody hung with me because my x smoked and so my kids and i smelled. not untill I was active and my husband was a non smoker I did not relize what it smelled like. So now i am very frendly to any part member because they are the more special members. even my mom and dad smoked so this was my whole life in the church my sister is so inactive it is increadable. email me and I will send you my # and we can bond lol [email protected]
