I left the writers website I'd been with for over two years yesterday. It was for many reasons that I took my leave. I loved the people there, so I probably stayed far longer than I should have. It was when I went to a particular thread to check on a dear man who's wife had open heart surgery that I read some very disconcerting opinions about my church. They were comparing my church and it's followers to demons. I have to say up to that point I thought I had heard just about everything. Well, life is full of surprises right? The saddest part is that some of my dearest friends were in agreement or participating in the conversation about my church. It was obviously meant to get back to me.
Part of me wanted to just show them by sticking like glue, but the other part of me that loves truth and light and our beloved Savior Jesus Christ, made me realize what I must do. I had to leave. As I went to the home page one last time an article caught my eye...forgive me if I quote this wrong, "A Mormon's Testimony". Of course I fell for it. I opened the article and found lies and half truths about my church once again.
You know, as a member of my church I'm used to opposition in all things. The adversary loves contention. I guess I was doing too much good and he didn't like it much.
The good thing that came out of all of this, is that I still love so many people at Faith Writers. There are so many people there that are good and kind and true to Jesus Christ and his teachings in the Bible. I will always be so grateful for their encouragement in my writing. I know I was lead to this site for a reason. Heavenly Father knew I had a writers heart before I did and gave me the opportunity to hone my gift. I will be forever grateful to those who helped me along the way. I will miss them dearly.
Now, I'm happy to say that my focus is more on my writing than ever before. I pray I can continue to lift hearts one at a time, and give hope where darkness seems so overwhelm those of you reading this blog. Heavenly Father loves you! He is always there to show you the way. He is there for you, one prayer away.

My opinion is that no matter what religion you are, as long as you are striving to do good and be a better person, it's all good. Maybe not as good as others would like it to be. The world needs more God fearing people in it. There would be much less contention and chaos. We would all be striving to be more christlike.
