Military Mormon

[hwilson1119]

Ok, I'm not in the military, but my husband is. I'm incredibly shy, so the moving around makes it hard to make friends in any new area- thus I turn to message boards for comfort and good society! I am a (fairly) newly reactivated member of the LDS church, and my husband was baptized last October. We have a 9-month-old son, and would love to have another baby ASAP! I hope to get to know people here and engage in good discussions in allll my spare time as a SAHM. :)

Hello and welcome to the site! As a 20 year retired United States Navy veteran I humbly salute your husband for all that he does in serving and protecting this great nation of ours. I am sure that you will make many new and wonderful friends here.

Hi,

I salute YOU!!! I know your husband is the object of untold respect, honor and is due much reverence because of his fulfilling his duty, but you also have sacrificed much so WE could enjoy freedom. We are indeed FREEMEN as mentioned in the Book of Mormon.

As a newly reactivated member I would counsel you to trust God. What does that mean? It means that the deepest recesses of your heart are accessible to Him and you can get the light and the truth that you so desire if you ask the right questions, search the right places, and talk to the right people.

Read II Nephi 4:16-35 and Chapter 9. You will come to love and appreciate another man who gave his all so we could have freedom for eternity. Don't let a moment of doubt shade the numerous evidences of truth.

If you don't know He lives then you can find out. There are many keys, here are three of them. 1) Read from the Book of Mormon every day _ if possible memorize the seminary scripture master scriptures, 2) Pray (but be sure you are getting through the veil. If not ask me how, 3) Repent and be obedient.

Miracles happen every day. I just had one, and it was a one word answer to a prayer. There are no such things as small miralces. Keep on the path until the Father embraces you and weeps because you have returned.

May the Lord bless you and all you give to provide us with the liberty that is also real.

Abraham

Hi! Being in a military family and being shy is really hard. I grew up that way. I never learned how to make friends and maintain relationships over time, because it was too hard when I knew I would always lose them when we or they moved away. Internet has helped me some with that because although I'm still not much more stable, now I can at least take my friends with me.

Hwilson, it's nice to meet you. :)

[Maya]

I can relate to that... from my very early years it looked like I am loosing those I love, all too often so why bind any relations.... And when I grew up... we been moving 5 times in 5 years.... now we been living here for 5 years ... getting time to move!

Welcome and congrats on finding the Church again, for your new baby and for your Husband being babtised.

I am Military also, I have been in the Navy for 17 years and yes it is very hard on the family. I am so looking forward to retirement in 3 years.

What branch is your husband in and what does he do?
