I have been tagged by Lovin’ Life at Self and unSelf. I’m supposed to write 8 things that you don’t know about me. I was similarly tagged back in April for 7 things so if you chose, you can read those 7 HERE. I will add 1 more to the list to complete the tag.
- When I was a little girl I wanted to be a priest until I found out that only men were priests. So then I thought I’d be nun until I discovered you couldn’t be married or have children as a nun. I was an altar girl for a while. Then, when I was 16, I accepted Jesus as Lord over my life. I realized that I didn’t have to become a priest or a nun to have a relationship with God. He is there for everyone. I just had to believe and that was it.
I don’t think there is much more I could add to the list. I’m pretty well an open book.
I love that testimony. My family was orthodox roman catholic until my dad was saved when I was ten…being a daddy's girl, I followed suit quickly. I remember seeing him read his Bible every night on the couch…my mom thought he was the devil for awhile. After watching him for a bit I started getting my confirmation Bible out every night and reading the book of James. Until this day James is my favorite book of the Bible. I have a friend who became a nun, got pregnant as a nun, was ex-communicated and accepted Christ as her Lord and Savior then lost the baby in the 7th month of term. I'm blabbing again.
I always wanted to be Catholic when I was a kid, because I thought I could sin all week, then go to confession, and start all over again. It is wierd to look back on my thinking then. I'm so glad to know Jesus and walk in the newness of life every day. No need to figure out ways to make "religion" work. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
