Glee

I have recently started to watch Glee because I love the music. I watched this last weeks episode that they did about God. Part of me loved some of the music but the other part of me just felt sad. Growing up a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, I have always known that there is a God. I have always had the big picture questions answered. I have always known that I am a daughter of my Heavenly Father. I have known that there is a life after death, and I have always understood what this life is all about.

I know that there are so many out there who struggle with these questions every day. I am so grateful that I was taught at a young age these important principles. More than anything though, I'm grateful to know with a surety that the things that I learned are true.

On Glee they kept bringing up how you can't really know if there is a God and how you can't believe in something as mystical as God. To that I say God is not mystical he is our Father in Heaven who is willing to let us know who he is, if we are willing to ask and pray for that experience. To anyone who is struggling with these questions I invite you to read the scriptures. To read the Bible and The Book of Mormon which is another Testament of Jesus Christ, and do as it says in Moroni 10:4 "And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.

I have done this for myself and have had the Holy Ghost manifest that very thing to me. Once it has happened it is undeniable. You will know for sure where you came from, who you are, where you are going, and that there is a God who created you and loves you and knows you by name here on this earth.

If anyone has any questions about the things that I have written please fell free to call me, or you can go onto mormon.org and you can start learning for yourself these few basic truths.
