Changes!
Wow! Lots of changes! My life has changed so drastically and I love it! I am a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints. I was really strong in it when I was younger. I had a very strong testimony. I fell away however about 5-6 years ago.I did alot of things I knew to be wrong. Though I wasn't as bad as I could be, I had still falling enough to make my life not what I wanted... I hope that is how you word that ha ha. Anyways~ I had moved away from my ward that I had been active in and continued to move North with my family till we ended up in Good ole' Syracuse Utah. When I first got here I didn't want anything to do with the church. I thought that I was happy in my miserable existence. I was always nice though when people from the singles ward would show up. I took the time to listen to them, and then I would explain where I was and why I was there. And would tell them that it was nice of them to come but that I wasn't interested. This one girl started showing up every week at the same time. She never pushed for me to go but always invited me. I thought it was nice of her. I didn't have hardly any friends at the time so I decided to go to the activities. They were actually alot of fun. I really like being around the people. I still wasn't going to church though. An opportunity came up where they were all going to Bear Lake for a week. I needed a break so bad that I went. It was a changing week for me. It helped me to look at my life and to see where I was heading. I didn't like it. So I made small changes... Well I tried. It took until the beginning of this year to start making those changes that were essential to my returning to church. I stopped drinking and smoking. I repent for the crap that I had done. And I started to learn and honestly seek what I was looking for. My friend Darcee got married. So I don't really get to see her anymore but I still talk to her once in awhile. My friend Amber has been a huge example to me. I don't think she will ever know just how much she has impacted my life. And helped me understand thing that I need to understand. Not only do I feel happier, I also feel like I am worth something. With God I can do anything that I feel I need to do. I finally after 5 years of being out of school got my GED. I was so scared of that test. I passed it with flying colours! I know that I am going to go somewhere now! I can go anywhere and do anything as long as I have God and Heavenly father and the Holy ghost to guide me. Anyways now that this blog it a million words long I am going to get going! Bye for now!
