I wanted to give a bit of an update, as I haven't been active on here as much as I want to due to extremely busy days and sleeping like a rock every day at 3:00pm.

To start, the best news. This last Sunday, I was told by Batiushka that I can receive Christ in Holy Communion once again! As some of you know, I went through a long period of apostasy. I had to go through about three months of abstinence from Holy Communion when I came back to Church. Father said some prayers while I was under his stole. My abstinence is over, and the first time I'll receive Holy Communion in more than one year will be on Holy Pascha!

It's been a wonderful Lent. I love being in Church, where I belong.

I was blessed with a 4 year full-ride scholarship to any university in the US. It's amazing!

Now, I'm just trying to pass all of my classes and graduate. I'm actually extremely busy fundraising for an event, which is causing me to miss a lot of class at the worst possible time for me, so I hope I can work this out!

So, yeah, that's what's been going on.

I wish you all a blessed Holy Week!

Wonderful news! I'm very happy for you, and congrats on your having a full-ride scholarship! What a blessing!

I wish you a blessed holy Pascha as well! :hug:

Thank you! I've been meaning to ask you something. Did you attend pan-Orthodox vespers? I kept remembering that you were from Co, too, and wondered if you'd been to my Church!

Yes, but I only made it to Sts Constantine and Helen's! :blush:

Congratulations; that is wonderful news.

Have a blessed Holy Week. :)
