What a great feeling!

Continuing from my last thread, ‘Can’t stop thinking about it…’, so many people have been interested in MY interest of joining the church. This makes me soo happy, it’s nice to know that people WANT to know. And everyone has helped me understand how to connect to God and Jesus a little more,bit by bit. I’ve even had other 16 year olds help me, which is re-assuring.

I’ve been taking everyones advice and I prayed to God last night. It was a little arkward because I had never done it before, but I asked God to help me get better, as well as dad letting me attend mass.

My friend who is a devote catholic has helped me and told me that I can go to chatechism at my local parish.

It’s so nice that i’m getting all this support.
Cheers Everyone!
God Bless.
