So on this Sunday I decided to take a moment to treasure the choices of our family. Now. After everything I have been through up until and after a big decision we made many years ago. Here is my compliments from my self open.
So many years ago. When we had only I believe our 3 oldest. We where in one of our times of complications of our own self worth was continuing. We never really thought a lot about ourselves. We never really got who we where. We never had any support or faith. We both came up in our own worlds & our friends who we raised ourselves around where more on the criminal side then anyone else. We moved away as we started having our family together. By our 3rd child. We where trying to be more then what we ever new.
So as we tried to reach any kinds of goal we at that time thought we where worth. We continued to find friends who where never above what we new. Now don’t get me wrong. Every person we ever have had in our lives had a reason in our path. Some are great people just on the wrong path. But I can say those where my biggest supporters back in the day.
As we continued to try. We kept getting visited by our local Mormon church missionaries. Ow mind you. I had no faith & no care of church. Because I assume if there was a higher power. Why would anyone let bad happen to me or anyone. But as they continue to come by. After a few weeks. I decided to sit & chat. I continue to do this over a few months. Then we met others in the church and decided to go. With long chats & looking deep. We jumped into the church and decided to try.
Now mind you. Each area has its own ward which it’s own area church in sections. Now at first. Everyone was nice & going good. Moved from original part into another. Now I will tell you what I must. Every ward church is filled with different people. It’s like a family. But not all are created equal. Our original church was filled with people who assume they are better then anyone & sit on a high horse. Fake friendships taught me not even in gods house you will fill below your own life. Now I am not perfect at the time but I did know I did not feel happy.
We moved. Another town another church. This one not big & in middle of nowhere. People where not really excited sept about themselves. Not high n mighty like before. But just all self absorbed. Now I will tell you even though we never attended anything much. We chose to continue learning & reading. But after two failed attempts. We where in a position of complete and under failed life. Being stuck n alone in middle of nothing really took a toll.
E lost everything in one moment. So we packed up. Kids where with someone we thought we could trust. Two oldest stayed with us and we moved to some friends we never have a real chance to. Now. We met our local church bishop and our life changed because of him. Our bishop at the time. Met us. Listened to us and he connected us to everything and extra. Even when his time was done he continued to push our bishops at the times to continue his journey with us. Now between this bishop and one other. I must say. It took sometime. But we got all of us together and rebooted ourselves and rebuilt our lives together stronger and more important our family lives together.
I don’t push anything. & honestly not many people know we are Mormon. But even though the first 7 years where crazy. These last 5 have built us to today. So never doubt what the spirits are pushing. You never know what might be. As of today. We moved on again & a few signs where go in again to try & go above what we did before and go. Which we still do not regret the choice.
No matter your religion or relationship which the spirt. Everyone & everything is different. One church family is not created equal either. I will surely contest to that. All together. It took our 3 rd move I. Over our first 7 / 8 years To achieve what our 3rd & fourth bishop/ward did. And honestly it came at the most time we really needed them. It’s the power of needs & when. Trust me. Now a complete new place n found the same loving and supportive family again.
So don’t forget. It’s more the timing of the find and final order for our story.
Happy Sunday. Be blessed. Be happy. Be yourself. Don’t judge anyone because you never know when it’s your Fail coming.
