  1. How do you post pictures to your profile page??
  2. Hello, I hope by now you took the first step in coming back. If not as of yet, you have the desire so just go for it!!! I know that you will be happy that you did................. :)
  3. I'm not condoning modern technology it has its pro's and con's like most things do. Have you noticed that we are losing the basic s of human contact, with others.
  4. As I have loved you love one another. I think the problem with ht/vt is some times is the ones teaching, some times the one s visited do not think it's to important to do, or to accept So why take the time out of our busy, or over burden lives to do it, or accept it.... Just my thoughts.....
  5. I had the opportunity to become really good friends with some of the people and family s that I have vt. One of the family s and I became like family. Even though we move away we still keep in touch. I also had the opportunity to become best friends with one of my vt companion we miss each other so much but keep in touch. I now have two powerful sisters that I by their both strong in the church I'd love to get closer to them but there to busy for visits which doesn't make me a happy camper. I could of learned so much from them all I could do is text them. I stopped reporting my vt. I now feel it's better to vt the less active @ least your work ing on trying to bring them back to the fold..
  6. P.s. and don't judge other s so harshly. Ht, vt ..even if they don't show up. I had the same hr for like ten yrs...where was he? He just inforced my low self-esteem. I'm sure he didn't know this but now he's passed and probably k now's a nd I know now that he was a busy man, worked hard for his family, for the church had his own issues and his families. Raised his kids lds by himself his wife never converted. Their both gone now I m sure his wife join ed and the family will be intact through the temple. And all ends well.....
  7. The best thing is to just go back to church. Talk to your bishop and work with him and the Lord. IT is hard to be single or married with no children we also want these things for some reason or reasons we can't have these righteous desires at this time and there is pain deep down inside us. I know... this you can politely tell these sisters how you feel and teach them compassion and understanding. Don't let the Imperfection of others keep you away from the best things we can get by attending church...
  8. Remember these posts are just advice. No one can make the decision but you on what to do or not. But I'd say pray about it, talk to your Heavenly Father, maybeyour bishop, so you can get counseling. Your husband sounds selfish to me...I have not been married and I'm old. But to me marriage is a way to love, to grow, to learn to become selfless. It does sound like he has other issues like a low self-esteem, not feeling worthy some times it's because of addiction s of some things sometimes it's not. It is true the saying that goes it always looks greener on the other side, and it usually is not. You need to keep living the gospel with in your home with your children and hopefully ask you r husband to say a prayer including him in fhe etc.. But don't push him, love him...while you are doing this, if you choose too go this route. Consider to get an education you never know when you might need it married or not....Wishing you and your family the best,no matter what way it turns out ((( hugs )))
  9. Good people are not perfect hence they at times make bad choices. Bad choices effect us and can effect others. People who make a lot of bad choices are they considered bad people? They might be. The Lord love s all His children the good, luke ones, and the bad. We don't understand the whole picture, so is it for us to judge? Or love? I like this video I saw it was on either lds.org or the mormon channel. I tried to find it again but couldn't, even if I did find it l probably couldn't post it on here for I don't know how to do it on my small phone. If I remember correctly it has a picture of a man holding an axe and he was cutting down this tree, he was pruning it. That is what the Lord does to each of us. He 'refines us, peace by peace for we all need the not so much good stuff, chopped away from us to become better people. To become stronger in faith, hope, charity to give us All the opposite to become like him. That's why He gave us the gospel and all the wonderful things with in it, it's all for us. The great plains of salvation(happiness), repentance, the atonement, the Holy Spirit, the sacrament, the temple s, missionarys , people etc etc. and Love!!!!! So are their bad people? Just watch the news, of course there are... But there's hope for all. So never give up on some one, some times we just need to take a back seat for awhile. And there's all degree s of good and bad... If anyone know s the video I was thinking of if you can find and post it I'd appreciate it. Ty
  10. I'm going to get better health. I'm going to find a great job. I'm going to get married finally. Of course in the temple to an honorable Priesthood holder, who will love me so much....... Pam your not the only delusional one.......
  11. Ok it's packed and at my new place. As far as my picture s some of them are over hundred years old from the old country in Russia and Poland. My friend of about 35 yrs I was showing them to her, she said she wished she had picture s like I do. I remember when I was younger I was sitting with my grandfather I was putting those pictures in an album and writing their name's and how they were related to me. I know these people love d me. I know I was a wanted child and grand child I was loved. At one time in my life I have forgotten that I belong ed to these wonder full people. Because I lost so much in my very young years. And my life has been harder than I ever thought it would be. And still is, but I know that I have also been very blessed. People are my treasures my blessings.......And above all is my membership! Thanks to all of you it's nice to have on line friend s, truth is were brother s and sister and friend s. Now isn't that cool?
  12. A covenant is a promise made between Heavenly Father and his children..... .......
  13. I didn't read all the posts. Our sacrament meeting was on faith as well. To me it was an awesome meeting. I felt the spirit so strongly. Some one asked me if I was in love I said no I wish I was! She said to me I looked so beautiful, my face was so lite up. I knew what she saw was the spirit!! I felt it so strongly in my face. I've learned that it's up to each one of us, what we get out of our meetings. I have come to feel that sunday is indeed the best day of the week. This is coming from some one who use to, rather sleep in then be @ church. I hope to never be that person again. Don't look for faults. None of us are perfect, some are not good speaker s, I have learned to listen and let the spirit take over get what I need. In most case s not in all. For I am far from perfect. . ..
  14. Okay ty all for your advice. I took the journal out of the garbage. I am thinking of keeping it, LP those last few journal s while you were in therapy might make good books to publish it might be able to help others. Something to think about.
  15. Thank you for the advice. I know it's good advice I'll think about it a little but I doubt I'll be keeping it. Like I said no one to read it and if and when I pass it will just be thrown out then. I've only writeen two journal s my life I throw out one yrs ago. I just have to much stuff For where I am going. I don't even have a lot. I'm also gave my CD/DVD which is old but New since It's only been used like 4 time s. I'm going to give my 72 hr kit away, it's just to hard, to heavy to carry around. Sometimes you have to do things you don't really want to do Some one s misfortune is another one s gain.
  16. So I'm moving and going through boxes getting rid of a lot of stuff I found a gold mine, I thought these papers were destroyed but I found a lot of family history that I took yrs ago from my grandfather and a second cousin so now I can have my grandfather sealed to his parents, my great grandfather and grant grand ma work done and have their children s work done this is on my father's side and some on mother s side. This is so cool!!! Now I just need to work on putting it all together. I also came across an old journal it was kinda fun reading it it was when I was in my twenties I need to down size so I am throwing it out it's to hard to keep logging it around and after I die there's no one who would want it. ( It's amazing what kind of treasures you find when you move.. I have tons of pictures some might be 60-70 yrs old. I'm keeping most of them though I did through out a picture of my father s hs. class, it wasn't in good shape nor bad shape.. I feel bad about this but you can't hold on to every thing. You just can't keep everything and there's no one to pass it on too. It's so cool to have a Temple in your back yard almost.
  17. Do not give up on the gospel or on yourself. Hold on tight. Beginning in active is no picnic it doesn't matter how long it's been, go back. The Prophets have told us over and over to come back to the fold. I personally know how you feel and I know that the best thing you can do for yourself is be brave and walk into the chapel on Sunday that's the first step, strive to keep going, this might not be easy @first. Cause Satan want s to keep you were you are at. Don't let him win. It's your fight. Go to the investigate rd sunday school class gain more knowledge and strength, pray,when you are ready talk to the bishop, try to not put this off to long you will do better if you have support from your bishop and others. In time you will feel different, better, in time don't take to much time you will start to read your scripture s. Let Heavenly Father work with in you let the Holy Spirit work in you. Plant your seed of hope it will grow within you if you nourish it,and you'll see in time that seed will turn to faith let it continue to grow in you. It's amazing it really is. The Spirit can continue to grow in you it's awesome let it as you strive to do what is right. Do not give up on yourself!!!! Cause Heavenly Father has not!!!! And He will not....Remember Christ is the greatest physicaon he came to heal us all!!!! Get a priesthood blessing. Watch the miracle s that can happen in your life. This is a step by step progression we all need this step what ever point were @. In a year from now you will feel so much different than you do now.(that s if you don't put off what needs to be done now) I have faith in you. I know that you can do it. I know the Lord will walk with you and help you and all of us on our journey...R report back to us and let us know how your doing... Oh a thought just came to my mind. Call one of our temple s put your name on the prayer list. You can do this every two weeks for as long as you need to. Good luck and if you try know that you will receive help... Love your sister in the gospel.
  18. I think that you have to have a talk with your bishop.
  19. I kn ow o ne in south Florida. But Vort is right there are many good Dr s who r not lds do research on them.
