Returning To The Fold
Posted On 04/14/2008 09:08:19 by BevUk
So,
I have now learned that re-baptism is possible.
How do I feel?...relieved, grateful, lowly, ......
I need to stand up and be counted, but when will I move myself?
Maybe I will venture out to church again this coming Sunday, all I need is to be consistant in my endeavour.
Its so much easier to talk the talk, - I need to walk the walk too.
I mustnt look back, I must press forward.
But I know me!!.....procrastination is a hurdle not yet overcome.
How much more fulfilled I will feel, I will be, if I just get myself motivated.
Back to basics.....lets hope that each day I can draw nearer my eternal goal.
I actually knelt in vocal prayer today, and then I let the scriptures open randomly...where did they stop?...
Alma 7:14
Wow!...Heavenly Father is aware of my struggles, my desires. He is actually aware of me!!
I fell  away from the fold some 14 years ago, and now it is time to return.
Bishop is waiting to talk to me, to aid my return to membership.
I pray that I will make the journey and that my righteous desires will continue to provoke positive action.

Thank you all for your support.


Well atleast today I logged onto the  site, and now I feel inspired to go and say my first prayer of the  day.


Yeh, I know, .... I should have already  spoken to Heavenly Father, when I first awoke this morning, - still better late than never eh?


I do hope that I can once again become a shining example and hold firm to the rod.


I am grateful  for LDS.Net and the resources available.


Thank you all once again for your kindness.


Much  love


BevUk

YOU ROCK Bev!   Welcome back to the fold baaaaaaaaaaby! 

I hope that your Relief Society Sisters have welcomed you back with open arms also.  My sister was re-baptised last year and it has been a struggle (mainly because of her thoughts) to realise that she is loved, and not judged by others.   Take things one step at a time Bev, and don't dwell too much on how much you don't know *grin*.  We're all at different levels of our journey and the fact that you decided to come back absolutely ROCKS!!!!!!!


Woooooooooooo hoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!   *hugs*

Thank you for feeling inspired to post and tell your story.  It reminded my of the great love our Father has for me  and each of us =) 


 


Heavenly Father loves each of us.  He knows our wants, needs, and is very aware of our struggles.  We are His children and like our own parents He likes to keep His children close during times of trial.  I am thankful to know that I can become close to our Heavenly Father through prayer.  I know He hears each of our prayers.  When one deciedes to come back to the fold,  I know that He stands with open arms welcoming them back to the fold.

Always remember that Heavenly Father knows you and loves you.
