I think you are correct when you say we may lose crowns. The Bible refers to crowns of glory. http://scriptures.lds.org/query?words=bodies+celestial&search.x=31&search.y=10 which indicates there is more to heaven than one degree of glory.
You believe "in" Christ, but do you also "believe" Christ, and trust His word? Trust life, and know that you were placed in a situation that you could handle/deal with/master. There is important, eternal reasons for being. People of my faith believe we started exercising our right of choice long before we were born. (referenced earlier in this thread)
Some religions worship the spirit of mother earth, the sun, moon, and stars. Some have discovered ways of communicating with natural things. All things are possible. Explore new thought and see where it takes you. Begin with your own religion, and try talking to those nearest to you.
If you have sincere questions, you will find the answers. God loves and cares for the sparrow, and He will most certainly care for His children. (who) Come unto Him in sincere prayer...... "having faith in Christ, and He will manifest His truth unto you by the power of the Holy Ghost, and by the power of the Holy Ghost you may know the truth of all things."
I firmly believe God will hear your prayers and help you find help and answers. Being in heaven separated from God's presence would not be very much fun, even if it only lasted 2000 years. No one knows the whole answer to your question because only God knows your circumstances. Trust in something.
