Dear friends,

The time is at hand...I will be received into Christ's Holy, Catholic, Apostolic Church by chrismation on Friday 28 June 2013 (New Zealand time)! :clap: It has been an amazing, wonderful journey, and I can't believe the moment is almost here! :swoon:

Please pray for me, that God will soften and chip away at any hardness of heart, lack of faith, belief or love for Him...that I may redeem the remaining time well in prayer, preparation and whatever else is needed...that I may prepare and give a good, full, honest confession to Christ in the presence of His servant the priest as a witness, without fear, misplaced guilt or sense of condemnation. :crosseo:

Thank you all for your advice and support along the way, and any pertaining to this part of the journey would be most welcome! :)

May God's will be done and His Name glorified! :amen:

Deborah

Thanks rusmeister, Matt, ikonographics, ma2000, Soderquj, Lukaris, 27B6, Fierce Badger, jckstraw72, Maria and Protoevangel! :hug:

Stay strong in prayer and determination. This is often a time of heightened demonic attack.
Thanks for the heads up Protoevangel. I'm experiencing a bit of an internal battle over confession preparation, fatigue, occasional despair and time thieves in these last few days, so wouldn't be surprised if demonic activity is behind it. Will spend a bit more time in prayer, keep my head down and keep pushing on.

Thanks again for your good wishes and prayers, they are most appreciated. :)
