An Update

Well everyone, here I am. :wave: I thought I would post a long overdue update here on my CF blog. For those of you who don't know, I was banned for a while and that is part of the reason why I didn't post. However, I appealed it and got the ban lifted and so now I am back. :)

Anyway, I am still definitely a Catholic. I will always be Catholic as I truly and honestly believe that the Catholic Church is the one true Church that Jesus founded while He was here on earth. I will never forsake the Church. I love the Church and will never leave Her.

That said, I am more positive than I used to be. I used to focus only on the negative things but now I try to focus more on the positive things such as the many blessings that God has given me. I try to be more thankful too.

In other news, I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia which is a chronic pain disorder. It can be quite painful but to be honest, I am thankful for it because it brings me closer to God. Plus, I can offer up the pain and thereby help others. God uses our pain when we offer it to Him to bring grace to ourselves and to others.

Also, my Grandma died this Summer on June 16th. I miss her a lot. I don't know whether she went to Heaven, Purgatory (if she went there she'll be in Heaven someday), or Hell but I hope that she went to Purgatory or Heaven. I honestly don't believe she went to Hell.

That said, I am going to end this post now. God has blessed me in many ways and I am so thankful to Him.
