Over the last few years I have been missing something, it took me awhile to figure out what it was.
Utah is predominately LDS, the Mormons, and it's not easy growing up in a culture that is so different from your own... especially when you aren't completely comfortable in your own. I was raised Catholic and didn't agree with a lot of their teachings- I questioned my Faith and instead of trying to strengthen my foundation the church turned me away from religion completely. The last time I stood in a Catholic church was when my sister was married in 2011. Before that I can't even remember.
I finally found a church where I feel comfortable being myself and also feel like I am truly in the presence of God. A regular old Christian church that welcomes one and all- no judgement, no condemnation just a gathering of people who want to be closer to God.
I haven't changed my ways or how I feel about life, but I do feel better giving a little bit of my time each Sunday to think of God and what blessings I do have. This is kind of a weird post- not meant to make anyone laugh but I just feel like sometimes when this life gets a little too hard to handle alone it really does help to give it up to God.
I'm not wanting to cram any beliefs down anyone's throats but just like anything else in my life it just felt right to share, so thanks for letting me
"Life isn't about finding yourself, It's about creating yourself"
