Smile Hi everyone

Hi everyone

Ok, well I've been a member of the church on and off since 2006 and it was only in the last few months that I realised that I was meant to be a part of the LDS church. I have suffered with severe depression most of my life and every time I got depressed I would shut myself away from everything and everyone, which at the time seemed the right thing for me do but It wasn't the right thing for my kids, but recently I realised that no one ever gave up on me getting through it, and I'm pleased to say that after years of dealing with my depression Heavenly Father has helped me to see the light and has given me the help I needed to help myself get through it. I just couldn't ignore the signs anymore it seemed like everywhere I turned there was something to do with the church there, things like when I prayed to Heavenly Father the missionaries would phone or they would knock at the door at that exact moment so I eventually gave in and went back to the church. Going back to the church was the best thing I have ever done as my life has just got so much better things just seem to be falling into place slowly for me and my sons. I turn to Heavenly Father in everything I do and give him thanks for all the blessings I have in my life and I do have a lot to be thankful for. So now if I feel down instead of hiding away I go to church to get the spiritual uplift that I need I ask the church for a blessing and give it all to Heavenly Father and that really helps me. I am glad to be a member of the LDS church because I can say in all honesty that the church and Heavenly Father have changed my life for the better. My Family had trouble with me being a member of the church at first but now they can see the difference it has made in my life so they have now accepted that I am a member of the church so life is just great. So here I am today I joined this site because I really wanted to meet other like minded people so hello to everyone.
