Aria Posted March 21, 2012 Report Posted March 21, 2012 Hey everyone, I'm Aria from the UK. A little bit about me - well, I did not grow up in a Christian household. My family are not religious in any sense. For me, I have always known that there is something greater than us out there, but it has taken me forever to feel comfortable with my faith - even so, I have still not found the right 'church' for me. I have looked into many - Anglican, Protestant, Catholic, Methodist, Unitarian - but, I still have not found something that settles my soul. I first heard about the Church of Latter day Saints when I was 15, and I studied it at school. Since then, it has always meant something to me, but even though I looked into it a hundred times, I never took it further because I was afraid of going into something by myself - by that I mean no friends, or family knew anything about the church. Now, eleven years later, I still look into the church and want to know more. It still brings up he same feelings, and I just hope this time I look into it further and make some big changes in my life. I have been going to a Pentecostal church lately - I love it, but it doesn't give me the peace I know the right place will. So, that leads me to today. Earlier some Jehovah's Witnesses knocked on my door, and as I was thinking about them I am sure God directed me to this website. Sorry, about the long into - and if you actually read it then thanks! I hope to stay around here, have my questions answered, have new things to think about, make new friends, and hopefully take my next step into what God wants me to :) Quote
