.....to me my story is confusing. To others, sometimes, it is relevant or makes sense to them. Here goes:
I grew up in a non-traditional religious family. I don't know how else to put it? We went to church every now and then and on holidays. When I was about 10, however, religion started becoming more a apart of my life. Unfortunately, my mom got into the LDS religion and brought my sisters and I into it as well. At the time, it was like, "ok, whatever, I'll go...." I didn't think I really paid that much attention to what the LDS religion was all about. As I grew older and my parents divorced, and we stopped going to the church, every now and again, I would still go, but I was starting to figure the church out a little more. However, it was all I really remembered learning, therefore, I believed in the Doctrine, and what the LDS taught....at least I thought I did....
After I graduated high school, I moved to a nearby town, with my boyfriend, and started college. Soon, I deciced college wasn't the place for me, so I started Cosmetology school. It was there that I met one of my best friends today, and one of the most inspiring people I've ever met! She talked a little bit to me, about the LDS religion. She was so curious about it that she studied (not practiced) it hardcore. The other day we went to lunch and she told me even more about it......I was blown away! I didn't realize they were teaching on all this work you need to do, to get to Heaven! She talked to me about how it's your relationship with Jesus and building that relationship, etc.
So here I am....I've ready the Bible on and off for a few years, but never like I should've been. So that's what I'm starting to do. I want to start building my relationship with Jesus Christ, our Savior! I am so excited! I now, am just wondering, how do I start? I have so many emotions right now! I'm excited, nervous, scared, thoughtful, curious......I want to study the bible and be able to communicate with Jesus.
Is any of this making any sense? Feel free to comment, question, give your opinon, etc. I'm sure I left something out.....I ramble a lot.....

Hey Rstepp,
Welcome to the Forum!
A lot of people like to study Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John first and learn about Jesus' life. The book of Psalms is also good reading, and Proberbs. Basically you can't go wrong. I hope your boyfriend is making this same transition?
In Christ,
OneJohn410
