Shannon..I am a lifelong Catholic. 12 years of nuns and priests and I fell away too. But later in life, as my children grew up and left, I came back. And I am so glad that I did. I, too, have witnessed God working thru others at Mass. Ive seen children fervently praying and singing and it pierces my heart with so much emotion, so much love and so much awareness that God is THERE, in that house of His and he is working thru any of us willing to let Him in. God bless you. Sallie

Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. The fact that God is always working around us and pursuing a relationship with us even when we don’t see it is comforting.

WOW good for you for not giving up. I was raised in church baptized, confirmed, married, kids to Lutheran Schools, buried my husband & still involved, your sweet story has me crying this morning. I love that your ‘fighting’ to find the right fit for you & not giving up.

Wow. Thank you so much for sharing this. For me sharing my spiritual journeys is terrifying but I love God and have an amazing relationship with him. Im in awe of those that choose to their part of their story. Extra fitting that I came across this on Ash Wednesday. Thank you.

That’s a awesome testimony. The feeling you are getting in worship is the Holy Spirit filling you up .. Glad you have place to worship and get closer to God

In reply to Gracielle. You know, Gracielle, I have been contemplating getting baptized again as well. I was as an infant, but now it would be a choice. I feel like I don't quite fully have an understanding yet for what it means to get baptized and want to explore that further. Thank you so much for sharing! I would love to hear more about your experience!

I was raised Catholic, knew God was there, but never really connected. Like you, I had so many questions and I knew I wanted to have a closer relationship with God. I started attending church regularly when we had our daughter…eventually, it just clicked and recently got (re)baptized just last year! I haven’t posted about it on my blog because its so personal to me and it’s still very much a work in progress. 🙂 I’m so excited for you as you embark on this journey!

In reply to Sue Foster. Awww Sue, thank you so much! You are just the sweetest ever! There is no need to thank us, we wouldn't have missed it for the world! Your family means a great deal to us and we were so thankful to be a part of such a special and loving day!

Hi Vanessa,
Thank you SO much for sharing your story! I definitely know what you are talking about! As I read your words I couldn’t help but think about times when I have done the same thing. That instant feeling of doubt/regret is a scary feeling, but it always turns out well! So I guess the answer is to just keep doing it! Thank you for your kind words, sharing of experiences and suggestions for music (and the video!!); but most of all, for your prayers. 🙂

In reply to Jami. Hi Jami, Yes, I would agree that we grew up together and it is so nice to see a name and voice from the past. Thank you so much for your kind, inspiring and encouraging words. I am beyond grateful to hear from those who are reaching out in response to this post. I hope all is well with you and again, thank you!
