Christ in my life

I joined the church four years ago, so after I graduated high school. I joined, because I knew it was the right thing to do and because I found the things I was looking for in a church. I had gone to different Christian churches with my dad, but noticed that I always left church wondering if I had learned the things I needed to be learning. The churches he and I went to never felt quite right.
The first time I went to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints I left thinking that I had actually learned something that I thought I needed to know. I left feeling good and like I had found a church I was meant to be in. I found a church that was like home to me.
Ever since I was a little girl I knew I was here on earth for a greater purpose than just to be here. I felt in my heart, before I even understood what the feeling was, that God existed. I knew I was meant to be on earth and that there was a reason for my existence. I've always loved Christ. I've always felt his presence in my life. Even when life was hard and I felt very alone I knew deep down that I really wasn't alone.
I've always believed in Christ. I don't remember ever questioning His existence, but I've questioned whether I was learning the things I needed to know in order to get back home to our Heavenly Father. I think I was given a gift of always knowing that there was a God and knowing that He is always there for us.
So, even though I didn't grow up in the church I still felt that connection with Christ. I can't imagine ever not believing in Christ. Honestly, I don't know how any can go through life not believing in Him. I've found strength, faith, love, and a firm foundation in knowing Christ and what He has done for us. He's our Savior and brother. Without Christ we wouldn't be here.
