I entered the Catholic Church, was welcomed and confirmed, and made my first communion. It was such a beautiful day. I ran to Jesus and took a leap of faith. I have not looked back.
Little did I know what the year would hold. Through all those days of joy, around the corner was lurking an emotional war zone. When my narcissistic ex-fiance gas-lighted me and then left me, Jesus did not. When I dealt with crippling anxiety, Jesus was with me. When I couldn't sleep without help, or go to work without medication, Jesus kept me close. He never left me.
That year was confession, mass, prayer. Wash, rinse, repeat. It's the daily and weekly life of the Catholic. Jesus is good. He knows we need stability and routine. He provides.
He even brought me a husband on April 19th, 2017. Surprise!
I had no clue our relationship would go beyond a few weeks, but we are getting married in 103 days. He proposed in front of Jesus. And we will wed in front of Jesus, in a Catholic church. And Jesus will never leave us, or forsake us. We love him.
What a year of blessings.
