Hi everyone! I've been reading the forums for several days now, and I feel it's time for me to introduce myself. My name is Lisa. Pleased to meet you all. As a child I learned that my name means "consecrated to God," and I was incredibly proud of that.
I am not LDS, and up until recently I hadn't given it any thought. I live in Salt Lake City (West Jordan), where I'm literally surrounded by temples and churches and wonderful LDS people. Yet somehow I never felt any of it applied to me. I was raised mostly without religion of any kind, though I have attended catholic mass many times.
Last week I attended the baptism of my boyfriend's nephew. I sat in an LDS chapel for the first time. As I walked through the hallways, I stopped to read the bulletin boards and look at pictures of activities and proud moments. Something in me clicked as that dear sweet boy received the Holy Ghost.
I am 37 years old. I am divorced. I am generally happy though I have always felt lost. I smoke and I drink (not heavily, but still...) and I cuss but that isn't really me. I feel a huge change coming in my life. I must end here because the boyfriend is home and he won't understand any of this...
I just wanted to say hi
