This longing was a constant part of me in the Protestant communities in which I loved and worshipped Christ. Several years ago I became a part of an ecumenical, Catholicfounded, prayer community that helped me grow closer in my relationships to Jesus Christ, family, and friends. Most recently, I earned a master's degree in theological studies from HGST, a wonderfully diverse, ecumenical-Christian graduate school. Making a long story short, this lifelong desire to become a Catholic Christian, along with my Protestant Christian experiences integrated, or culminated, within my education bringing me to the realization that I can never un-know what I discovered about the history, tradition, and truth of the Christian church. On January 1, 2015 I made the decision to do whatever I needed to do to become a part of the Eucharistic community of believers instituted by Jesus. I joined the RCIA group at St. Theresa's Catholic Church. While under the leadership and guidance of RCIA director Lynda Knoche, my sponsors Susan Scheibner and Paula Birchfield, along with the wonderful RCIA team, I participated in an amazing, Christian discipleship-spiritual formation process. I had a long time to enjoy the blessings of RCIA while I waited for an annulment decree. I thank God and the Church for the annulment process because my knowledge, faith, and understanding of the doctrines and traditions of the Church matured during this time. I feel that I have come home. I feel fully connected in a tangible way to God, the Holy Scriptures, and the early Christian Church community through the timeless teaching, practice, and commission of Christ Jesus, that is, to "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, body, and strength; Love your neighbor as yourself; and Go, make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit." Praise and thanks be to God, my life-long journey into the Catholic Church was celebrated in my Confirmation and First Holy Communion on July 3, 2016!
