June has been a rough month for me. As some of you are aware, I'm in the process of returning to the church. June 19, 2007 was the date I started my journey back to the church. I've been attending church on a regular basis since last July. I was told that I have the oppurtunity to re-join the church after one year. A part of my past was being involved in the new age movement. Without the gift of the holy ghost, I feel a similar type of spirit associated with the new age. That "good feeling" returned early this month. It turned into a battle between the church and the new age movement. I came very close in decideing to stop my re-association with the church. I stopped logging into lds.net and even missed a Sunday at church. I came very close to closing my acct here on this site. I was downloading gigabytes of info related to the new age. This info was very enlightening in the beginning. Then several contridictions started popping up. I started feeling awful and came to the conclusion that all these feeling were trying to prevent me from joining the church. I've prayed and have decided to continue with my progress with the church. Today I had my final interview with my bishop and set my baptism date for July 12th. I know satan will try everything he can do in the next 3 weeks to prevent this from happenning. I'm confident that I'll make it to July 12th. My father and a brother will come to be a part of my baptism. They live in Utah and Indiana. To sum things up I found that the church is what will make me the happiest now and for all eternity. I'll keep you posted on any new developments.
