In 2007 my life changed, and the 13 years since have been spent treading water. A handful of people have asked, and many haven’t known why I became Catholic in 2010. There isn’t a short answer to that question. I once knew someone who said as a believer of Jesus how could anyone be anything different?
The original Christian Church on Earth is one that administers sacraments that are life giving and life sustaining. Certainly there are things that I disagree with, but those sacraments….I will never dispute their validity. I remember going to my first Mass in college. There was so much I recognized, but so very much I didn’t. I also remember signing up to be a guardian at Adoration when an RA came on my floor, and sitting in that teeny side chapel. What I wouldn’t give to be able to sit in the Chapel at my Church here!
I told a story on my main social media page about a conversation my Daddy and I had in his office when I was a little girl. A boy had told me I was going to hell because I wasn’t saved. Daddy was an Episcopalian priest, and didn’t take kindly to someone making me cry and run across the field to his office to tell him about it. But he told me that I was sealed and baptized and belonged to God, and told me about nuns and monks and prayer happening 24/7/365 which was utterly fascinating to me! Still is! 🙂
There are truths in every faith. But where did it all began? Where did they all come from?
Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with my new body. I wonder if I will be able to gain mobility, and not be so tired all the time. It’s in those moments that the voice of the one that created me in my mother’s womb tells me to do the work, let it be, and He will take care of the rest. ❤️ The world is a crazy place, and God seems to be a real weirdo sometimes. 😂But I’m so thankful He loves me.
