I have a testimony about how I came to the Catholic Church and I thought I would share it with you all. Please forgive me if I make one huge paragraph.
It all started when I was a young child of the age of about 4 or 5. My parents took me and my sister to a Southern Baptist Church almost every Sunday. We went to Sunday School and I think we left during the service.
I remember at about the age of 12 or 13, I became born again. I had picked up some tracts at the front of the church and became born again. I also remember asking my Sunday School teacher what to do. She told me to read the Gospel of John. So I did that. I remember how I was filled with the Holy Spirit that night.
Through my teen years I backslided a number of times. At around the age of 16 or 17, I went to a Nazarene Church with my friend, Julie. We went to the youth groups and all. When the pastor stopped going, we stopped going. I went back there a few times in the future. I also went to a Fundamentalist Baptist Church a few times.
Then I got into college. I was back and involved with the Nazarene Church again and was quite devout this time. Then I got involved with a man I shouldn't have been involved with and got messed up in the Occult. Another boyfriend got me involved in Wicca that same year. I left both after about a year.
After I had left those two religions, I became a liberal Christian. Again, it was not satisfying and I prayed to God to help me find the true Church. Finally I started talking to a Catholic guy online and he convinced me of the Catholic Church's truth. I then became Catholic on Easter vigil of 2006.
