I just wanted to intro myself. I am a very busy Mom of 7. There are only 3 left at home 1 leaving this summer for Guard Duty. I have been active and inactive all my life. I am active at this time. I have severe depression (dealing with better than I ever have) SAD, and CHronic Pain issues due to a neck injury. In spite of all that In my lowest moments I have never doubted the Church. My testimony my faith has saved me many a time. I am an oddball who loves all kind of other pholosiphies and faiths and can see the usefull and good in them. Meditation helps me so much. It is as important to me as prayer and scripture Study. I struggle with my ailments but have found alot of help in church and out. My kids are AWSOME I am so lucky. My husband is a hard worker. I live in the mountians (Gods Country) we jokingly call it. I will talklmore another time.

Blessings Always

I know what you are talking about...but I have only 4 kids 2 home... Getting older is not easy either sudenly you see you have no pension coming after so many years at home....

And no one will take a over 50 years old to work... I quess I have to be very kind to my youngest ones so I may get a place to live with one of them when I get really old...acorner by the fireplace...

oh and a computer...

Your quotes really fit how I use to be> Imputing all kinds of help and information and not actually making an effort to assimilate and make it work in my life. I finally got it after reading a book " If God Loves Me Why This" by Kim Nelson a member. Putting what you belive to the test and adding work to the faith really changes things.

Hi Crytsprospect!!

I'm really happy to see you here, and admire your strength in spite of your illnesses and pain. I have issues with depression and chronic pain too, due to OsteoArthritis in my hips and other phsyical ailments..I hope that you continue to find the church helps you, and that your faith continues to grow stronger.
