ultrarunnerjay Posted March 30, 2011 Report Posted March 30, 2011 I am so happy to have found this forum! I have been wandering way off the straight and narrow path for too long. I have learned the hard way that there is only one path to happiness and that is holding tight to the rod and staying on the straight and narrow one. I entered the great building thinking that everyone in there had the answers to happiness. One failed marriage and another failed one soon to happen, I find myself searching for answers. I mean really searching for answers. My life has been and will continue to be a great adventure for sure. But, I have always had a huge missing part that has nagged at me daily. I have lived in denile but I knew in my heart that I was ignoring what I had been taught growing up in the LDS church. My mom, bless her heart, has never given up on me. She sends me a copy of The Book of Mormon almost every year (I have a stack of them now). Finally she sent me an audio copy. I loaded it on my Ipod Nano and began listening during my runs and commute. I have since listened to it 4 times now and still listening. I have read it a couple time when I was younger and attending seminary but I feel I am truly learning the teachings in my heart this time. I still feel lost but I think I have a grasp on the path I must take in order to find happiness. I am hoping that I can put back together the pieces of my life and make myself worthy to be a devote member again. I would also like to be worthy to find a loving LDS partner to complete who I am. Any words of wisdom or advice would be welcome. Glad to be here. Jason Quote
