More "How I Did It" stories
It made me
More secure 
How I did it: My husband and I had found a church a few months after we moved here almost two years ago. We went for Advent and Christmas and then jsut stopped going. We let our "busy" lives get in the way. In October of this year, we decided there was no good excuse anymore. We both missed belonging to a church (I haven't attended on regulary since grade school except for a 4 month stint when I lived at home with my parents after college). We mad… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I decided to go regulary to church, now it has become a habit and I go every sunday. I realized that it is all up to me if I want to go regulary. Now it would feel very strange for me if I didn´t go every sunday. I have become happier and more peaceful. Read how I did it…

I went to church again this Sunday for the second week in a row, and this time I went even earlier than last Sunday, although not quite on time. That’s my goal (to go AND be on time to church) for the next week, since I’ll be on a church retreat this weekend.

Went to church today for the first time in three weeks, but I went a little late. Hopefully I can make it on time next week.
Failed Attempt

Last week was the first time I went to mass in a long time. It was weird being there after all this time, but I was glad I went. I thought it would be easy to go regularly from then on. Oh how wrong I was! I just have to dust myself off and try again next week. God willing, I will be at church next Sunday bright and early!

I’ve gone to confession two weeks ago. Wow! It was so touching when the priest said that God loves us always and that God always welcome us back to His arms. I couldn’t help but cry. It’s different when I read it but when someone actually says that God loves you no matter what, it feels good to hear it.
I’m happy that I’ve been going to church and that it’s good to hear God’s teaching.
What a wonderful way to start a year!

I started attending mass again since the first day of 2009. Yup, I began this goal on the very first day. Not only I attended the New Year’s Day mass, I attended the earliest mass of that day. It felt so good coming out of the church with the morning sun rising up and shining on your face. I remember saying to myself, What a wonderful way to start a year!
Since then, I started attending the earliest mass (645 am) every Sunday. The church is not quite full which I like.(I find myself getting distracted when there’s a lot of people, which was one of the reasons I stopped going to church before.)

Since October, we’ve gone every Sunday except when we’re out of town or someone is visiting us. Yippee!

This is our fourth consecutive Sunday at church. The kids have really missed it and they are glad that we have been going regularly. It has definitely been worth making sure that I’ve prepared on Saturday for Sunday.
Our 4 year old gave her first talk in Primary today. (We attend a church where even children under age 12 are given the opportunity to give short talks in their Primary meetings.) The theme of the talk was “I will show my faith in Jesus by being baptized and confirmed.” My daughter delivered a wonderfully short, sweet & simple talk that went something like this:
Heavenly Father loves us and asks us to be baptized.
Jesus was baptized.
When I am 8, I will be baptized too.
I will show that I believe in Heavenly Father,
That I love him.
That I want to be obedient.
The Holy Ghost will help me choose the right.
In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
At 4 years old, she’s well on her way to being more comfortable in front of an audience, than I have ever been. It was a great day. :)

I was lost in my life. I started going to Mass regularly and a lot changed. My life seemed to get a lot better. My mood changed and it seemed that everything got better just because. If I was having a bad day, I would go to Church and everything just got better. I recommend everyone go to Church regularly to bask in all the benefits-both on good days and bad-that religion can bring.
