Conversion to the Gospel

From Writing Prompt Journal

Am I converted to the gospel would have to be the REAL question? I know that it teaches many great things, but I am what you would call a questioner (still am), about certain things. I do though feel the spirit at times, and I have had a couple of experiences that have helped me. You will learn this anyways. I read every Anti-Mormon (my faith I was raised in) there could be about the LDS Church, and I have read every Apologetic thing about the LDS church, and with all that reading still can't pin down sometimes what I truly believe. I did almost leave the Church about a year ago because of the Anti-Mormon things I had read, but they are bitter (former members)and didn't offer me anything any better. I finally have been in the Book of Mormon, and I believe I am starting to get a glimmer of a testimony back. Not from the apologists view, but from my own readings. I do feel that true or not it is one of the most powerful books ever written. I do feel more peace trying to live that lifestyle, and I don't feel as bad. So I know that I should either be hot or cold. I just sometimes wish my mind wouldn't question so much.

I too wish at times you would quit questioning so much. I know that if you spent as much time in the scriptures and in prayer as you did online seeing anti, apologetic, or otherwise you would find the PEACE, JOY, and FULLNESS that comes from our Savior and be able to let go of the negativity and doubts that Satan is so good at planting!

Love You!!! Tina

That was a post from over 8 years ago, since I didn't see Kameron mentioned as one of my kids. My feelings about the gospel are resolved..mostly.
