A Spiritual Awakening

For those that know me, know that I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints - a Mormon. I have served in my church in many capacities...with little children, young women, adults and as a missionary. I feel that I was blessed with the gift of faith...believing has been easy for me. I know I have a Father in Heaven who loves me very much, his son my Savior Jesus Christ is the one to follow for true happiness.
About 7 years ago, I went through a very difficult trial in my marriage. It sort of knocked my out of orbit. I didn't realize it at the time but I have been coasting for a while. Maybe you could say I was on cruise control. I feel like a was in a fog and wasn't really living life.
My son decided to be baptized, which can happen at age 8 in our religion. About four weeks or so before his baptism, I started attending a Sunday School class in my church. The class is called Provident Living. Many things 'fell' into place' so that I would be in that Sunday School class. I feel those things were not just coincidence but divine inspiration. That class has been helping me be closer to the Spirit so that I could handle another trial - similar to the last - but this time I feel like the trial has had purpose. I needed to be jolted back into living - back into BEING. I feel like I look at life so differently now - like I just got out of winter and it is the first warm sun of spring.
I decided to be vulnerable and put my thoughts and actions into a blog. For accountability and also because maybe just maybe there is someone out in the web universe who will be divinely led to this and received help/comfort that they need.
