So where to start?
I grew up Catholic and was very active at church and in my school retreat group. When I went away to college I began to question my faith and fell further and further away from God and the Church until I no long believed any of it. I was living in a state of sin and was sure there was no such thing as God.
As strange as it may sound things didn't start to change until my best friend ended up pregnant. She is going through a very hard time and I didn't know how to help her so I started to pray and ask others to pray. I didn't believe in God, but I didn't know what else to do. The day after the prayers started everything starting to do a complete 180 for her. I couldn't ignore the hand God had had in it. There is no other explanation for the complete change in circumstances.
I have started going to my boyfriend's church and it feels so right. For the first time in a long time I feel content and not quite so lost.
This however presents a problem.....I have yet to tell my mom I am going to a non denominational church instead of a catholic one. So clearly there are still things I need to work on and figure out, but I'm getting to where I need to be and I finally feel like my life is going in the right direction again.
