Smile Hiya!

Hello there,

My name is Meghan...most people call me Meg. I honestly don't know why I joined this site...maybe curiousity, boredom, or something powerful. I'm 24 years old and live in Chicago. I was brought up Irish Catholic (my mother's side) My mom died when I was 14 and I abandoned God for years because I was so angry at him for taking her. Not untill after I turned 21 did I understand that He took her because it was His will and He had a better purpose for her in the Kingdom of Heaven next to Him. At the time I was doing a lot of things that I'm not proud of but no matter how bad they were I know He still loves me. I know a lot of the things I was taught through my religious education were bogus but I still love my faith. I love the traditions and the church that I grew up that I hope to get married in someday. So here I am....maybe just to make friends no matter what faith we each have, as long as we all have the Heavenly Father in our hearts.

Welcome to this site Meghan. I'm not LDS or Catholic but I grew up in a home that was Catholic based.

Hello and Welcome CJCHICK84,

Sorry to hear about your mom, but I'm glad that you're doing okay now.
And yes this is a place where we believe in our Heavenly Father that
loves and cares for us.
