weird.

okay. i am a little freaked out right now! (in a good way though!)
so i try every night before i go to bed to read something from lds.org or from the scriptures.
haha i was reading an article on joseph smith & the power of forgiveness from the new era (yes. i still read the new era! haha)
well anyway, on the website, they have this questions & answers section.
one of the questions just HAPPENED to be directed to me! sooo weird!

My mom and I used to go to church together all the time. Now she doesn’t want to go anymore. What can I do?

Seeing the people you love fall away from the Church can be very painful. But you don’t have any control over their actions. Continue to show love and be a good example to your mother. You can also continue to tell her about what you learned in church, bear your testimony to her, and encourage her to come to church with you. It’s also very important to be patient and understanding with her.

Talk to your bishop about your predicament. He’ll have some helpful advice. You can also ask for a priesthood blessing and pray for comfort and guidance through this hard time.

i am probably making a big deal out of it but i know that i needed to see that question to help me understand what i should do! it's amazing how much heavenly father knows our needs & how he helps us! it's been so hard having to go to church without the support of my family. however, i am so blessed for fabulous friends who are pretty much my family. they care & love me & help me be where i need to be on sunday.

the theme in our stake for girls camp was something about being an example. so i shall do just that! it will be hard but i can/will do it!
