From what I have seen so far, this site looks amazing. I can't wait to delve into all the little extras and meet some inspirational people!
So here is a proper introduction to speed along that process....
I was born and raised Roman Catholic. Through out my childhood, I LOVED going to mass and truly felt LOVED by God and His son Jesus. I also really felt the prescence of Our Lady in my life.
But sometime during my late teenage years, I outwardly rejected the Church and eventually denoucing my faith completely. I feel my religious education was so focused on my wrong-doing that divine love was something that only resevered for the saints. Obviously, this mentality was wrong- that I was SO unworthy of God's love...I retreated into darkness. I had become a spirtual coward. Unwilling to change, because I knew a sinless life was impossible.I looked for refuge elsewhere, but of course it all felt just as empty as life with out His love would.
In the last two years though, I have begun my journey back into the fold. It is a journey, because I put alot of garbage between Jesus and myself. I still feel pretty shaky about my faith...almost like foal trying to stand on it's new legs. But I feel that if I surround myself with people who will support me and draw me back to Jesus and His Church...I will return to those days of undoubting childlike faith!
