A bright white appears,

When all hope is lost.

An angel he has sent me,

At exactly no cost.

He wipes away my tears,

With words from our Father.

He lets me know I'm loved,

I'm not just a bother.

When I was living at my dad's house, we were treated very unfairly. He beat us and told us that we were horrible children. I thought everything was always my fault, and every night before I went to sleep, I'd ask God for forgiveness. I always had a close relationship with Heavenly Father even though where I grew up we weren't taught the Gospel. Then one night as I approached the barn, a place I had been scared of because I was terrified of the dark, I was feeding my cats and a bright light came from the corner and a man floated just above the ground in a white robe (not with wings as you would expect). All he said to me was "You are forgiven". I fell to my knees and began to cry. Tears of joy shook my entire body and I know I will never ever have as spiritual of an experience as that one. Heavenly Father knew I had to hear those words almost from his mouth, even though he knew what was happening wasn't my fault. Thank you Heavenly Father for helping me through such a weak and hopeless time in my life.

In my tiny heart,

I know that this is true.

That with His love we are,

Forgiven through and through.

For all of our pain,

Everything we have to learn.

I know that He is standing by,

To soothe all of the chafing burns.

When we step aside,

Away from the righteous,

I know He is there...

One step behind us.

I love the thought that, no matter what we do or wherever we are, Heavenly Father is with us every step of the way. Letting us smile, learn and grow. He loves us unconditionally, we could never measure up to that love as the meek humans we are.

My name is Marisa Henry. I live in Ottawa, Ontario and I am 17 years old. Since I was really young I was very spiritual. I was always searching for the meaning of our being here. I lived in a farm house with my father for ten years which wasn't the best home. We didn't grow up learning the gospel and our father and stepmother were abusive. When I was 15 years old I moved out of that home and finally met my mother who I am working at having a strong relationship with. I now live with my sister who has three children and a loving husband. I just got baptized yesterday (April 26) and got confirmed today. I knew as soon as I was introduced to the Mormom religion that it was the right one. I am working on being a better person and being a proper young woman as well forgiving my father and moving on from my past. I have always been a hopeless romantic and can't wait to find my Eternal Companion. I'm a little scared to fall in love but I just need someone gentle and kind to show me that there are people on this Earth who can show kindness and affection that is pure and innocent as well as truly loving. I hope to make a lot of friends on here as I am new to the Mormon religion and want to be surrounded by people who have the same beliefs and who can show me kindness.

A little more about me--- I have a fiery attitude where nothing can get in the way of what I want if it is the right thing to do. I enjoy being around people who make me laugh and smile and can have deep, meaningful conversations. I sometimes talk too much but I also enjoy listening. I love to meet new people and help them in any way I can and I hope that people will reach out to me as well. I am very trusting and also am trustworthy. I have a strong spiritual sense and like to be connected with people on that level. Sometimes I forget my worth and I have to have people remind me that I'm worth their time, I just need to boost my confidence a bit. I know there's always room for improvement and always look for ways to better myself. I love change but also can't live without familiarities. I have a strong faith that will never die and when I get married I know I'll be as devoted to that person here on Earth as I am to Heavenly Father above.
