I have held back for a long time in even thinking about LDS. I became a Protestant at 13 and was always taught that the book of Mormon was an addition to the bible and that no one was supposed to add to the bible. I understand their meaning but then non-of us could ever have revelations from God. If God spoke to any of us we would not be able to put it in any kind of print.
It makes a lot of sense to me that in these times we would need a book for these times. I know the bible has revelations and that tells us what will happen in the end of days but there is a lot of arguement as to its meaning. What is literall and what is parable. It seems to me anyway from what I know about LDS so far is that there is not a million branch offs like there is with the protestant church. They seem to be of one body and that makes sense to me. Having the care and rearing of family at thier core makes a lot of sense to me too. I mean what would the enemy first attack with us that would bring the rest of the world down with it? The family.
I have felt God and spoken to him many times. We have had jokes just between us, I have learned so much but it was always on my own time with him. I had always felt somehting lacking when I went to church. I had always been interested in LDS but too afraid it was not the right way. I wonder now if God was maybe just waiting for the right time? That and maybe my fear about it was not a warning from God but the enemy whispering in my ear, trying to steal me from the right direction. I dont know. I just know that next sunday when my husband, my two little babies and I walk into that building, I will know.
I will feel it one way or the other.
