I sat back a little while ago and took stock in some things that have happened last year or so.
Its hard to think that 2 years ago I was not only in a different faith but I had no idea where I was headed when I moved from GA to OH, not to mention that I would have ended up in of all places Utah. Nor did I think that I would have ever met my wife. Things Have just sorta hit me though. not only am I married now but also a father (ok a step father). Thats the one thing that has stuck in my head for the last week. I still dont understand how all this happened. But I know who has had a hand in this. My Fathter that Art in Heaven.
The thing that has sort of hit me was this. While living in Ohio not once did I see a missionary. Nor did I know that there was such a great group of people called Mormons. When i lived in texas I met a person of the Mormon faith. Same thing when I went to GA. I sort of had my eyes open when I moved to Texas and yet again when I moved to GA. When I moved back to Ohio something happened. I got online to do research about my friends faith. I found this really great website that had a chat room. I met a lot of great people that helped me answer all of my silly questions about the church. Thats when I noticed something. Everywhere I went there seemed to be two guys in black suits and white shirts on bikes everywhere. After a while I started to talk to these fine young men. I took somethings they called lessons. I asked My new friends about these. Seems that we sort of did the next lesson in the chat room before the lessons. On the 17 of Feb I got baptised.
About a Year after I was baptised I was married to a young lady who I had met in the chat room and had been talking to for over a year. And things just keep getting better. I am a father to her 2 little girls. After I relized this I started to cry. I am still trying to figure out how they are going to take to me. We will not get to see each other much but I know now that I have nothing to fear due to the fact that I have a heavenly father that loves me. And also a great bunch of people that I can go to when the times get rough.
This has been along time in coming. but thanks to all the people here that took the time out of thier lives to help and teach me about the church. Every one here means alot to me.
