Thank you for your advice . ♥

I knew someone was going to ask me this.

Also, just a as a side note, I know that my mom's mother DID teach her many things about being a wife and mother. Her mom was an excellent cook and housekeeper, and she also worked for many years at the railroad as a typist/secretary.

My parents are divorced. My mom went through some traumatic things right around the time I was born. Her husband left her, her mother died, and I was born all within a couple of months of each other. Her mother's passing and my birth within just two weeks. She was mostly depressed when I was...

This was such a lovely reply! Thank you so much for your encouragement!

I'm sorry you went through that. It has been a long time that this has been going on so I feel some of your pain. I have Lutheran friends and I have been lucky enough to attend church with them a couple of times. I actually witness the confirmation of a friend only a week or so after I missed...

I was baptized in the Holy Spirit as a baby and so as a child and through adolescence and now into adulthood is when I became a 'believer'. I have accepted Jesus Christ as my savior. Our confirmation affirms our Christian beliefs and admits us as a full member of the Catholic church. It is very...

The part of me redoing my first communion/confession comes only from the church director. He feels I should. I had mentioned above that he is a friend of my family and knows my personal struggles as a teen. I went through periods of atheism after this happened and he, among everyone else, was...

Okay, that helps. I was 'born' Catholic so I agree that the 6 month class should be enough because I spent the first half of my life being brought up in the faith. I'm a little shy so I just need to work up the courage to walk into a new church and talk to the priest.

No offense taken :-) I have thought that sometimes the rules are too rigid for me but I am learning to find comfort in them.

Thank you. I do still practice my faith but it's basically private at the moment. I had a hard time connecting with my faith for awhile and so I am feeling renewed and want to finish this.

No, I haven't.. I suppose I could at least bring it up.

I have taken communion at my nieces' and nephews' baptisms but in regular church no I do not.

I respect him, but I don't feel close to him in any way. When he first came to us, he wore sunglasses in church a couple of times and also has said out loud that he didn't want to be a priest but that God called him to do it. Which is fine, but it was said in a way to say "I'm not here because...

See, no they are not. They literally want me to do this class to be confirmed, but in the meantime, make my first confession with the 1st graders and first communion with the 3rd graders. I feel like they are trying to embarrass me or something?

I went to CCD from 1st-8th grade every Tuesday, as did all of my cousins and siblings. I made my first Reconciliation, took my first Communion, but then ruined my chances of being Confirmed. At the end of 8th grade when my class was preparing for confirmation, there was a mandatory meeting we...

I SO believe this.

I have noticed since these thoughts in my head started turning, that I have been 'coincidentally' running into many signs of Him. Just the other day I looked up a youtube video for how to deep clean my kitchen, and the woman I decided to watch had videos on her testimony and salvation. He just...

I have been Catholic my WHOLE life and I still hardly know anything about it :(. I went to CCD from Kindergarten to 8th grade but missed a mandatory meeting for my Confirmation and so my church would NOT let me be confirmed. Even now, I'm required to go to 6 months of schooling if I want to do...

I love that you said this because I have been feeling SO COMPELLED to volunteer or at least start giving my money to charity. This is not usual for me as I have been a pretty selfish person in the past. I suspect the pull I've been feeling towards God goes hand in hand with my desire to give my...
