Hello I'm Martain!
Posted: September 14th, 2014, 9:33 pm
Which of course is a pen name =P. Not that I'm hiding my real name since my profile is associated with my facebook but, when online I tend to use a pen name.
I've been a long time user of an alternate LDS forum called LDS.NET but recently stumbled across LDSFF and decided to join =).
It started when my mother gave me a copy of the book "There Are Save Two Churches Only" by D. Chrisitan Markham. I have a witness from the Lord regarding how much truth there is in that book. When Markham recommended other books I pondered whether the use of my limited funds was justified in purchasing them and felt a confirmation to do so.
Although I don't remember which of the following I've read completely as much of them overlap, I then purchased and read much of:
Hiding In Plain Sight - Ken Bowers
The Hidden Thins of Darkness - Christopher S. Bentley
Awakening To Our Awful Situation I and II - Jack Monnett
The Great and Abominable Church of the Devil - H. Verlan Andersen
None Dare Call It Conspiracy - Gary Allen
Then my mother asked me to listen to some of the talks given by Denver Snuffer and I said I would. I've now listened to all 10 of his Zion talks and read Passing the Heavenly Gift as well as the majority of his blogs and some of his book 'The Second Comforter'. I have a testimony of the Book of Mormon and the Prophet Joseph Smith and I know that my redeemer lives even though I have not yet seen him face to face.
There is a lot going on in my mind right now and in my personal life in regards to prayer and pondering as I seek my Lord. I'm not perfect and while there is much that I do know, there is much more that I do not. I sincerely want and seek to follow the Lord and while I do have a good heart and the willingness to follow Him regardless of what it cost me, it really isn't good for man to be alone and I feel my growth is limited by my single status.
Since one of my weaknesses is reading body language, and since I greatly lack dating and courting know how and experience, I'm seeking the aid of the Lord in help with finding someone who shares my convictions and desires. I don't know if any such are visitors to this site or whether they will view anything I write but if on the off chance one does... know my heart is currently not given to another and is seeking a counterpart. Should you find my heart desirable, such as that you'd like to know me better, please give a guy a hint and express/invite such interest.
If someone were seeking to know me better, they could likewise pop over to my facebook page and read some of the 'notes' I've added to my account one of which is my conversion story. I don't know what I'll be able to contribute here but I'm hoping to both be edified and to perhaps be of some use to the Lord and others via my writing which isn't something I feel weak in so long as I have enough time to compose my thoughts properly.
