Being Loving, instead of judgmental, opens SO many more doors with those that others just sniff at! I love, love, love your testimony! Very Beautiful!

I grew up in the Catholic Church, attending Parochial School through most of my grammar school years. Something I carry with me, because of that upbringing, is a tremendous sense of faith. I will always be grateful for that. And I have practicing Catholics all about me. My in-laws are devout, and are two of the most wonderful people I've ever known. However, I very much feel like I have been planted in a church where I belong. And I am growing. You're right, with age comes wisdom. And I know that I'm exactly where God wants me. For now. I know Catholics take a lot of bashing. Especially from Evangelicals. I hope I didn't come off as disrespectful. I have an awful lot of love and respect for the Catholic chuch, even still. God bless you, DeeDee Hi Karol,

God bless you,

You only get out what you put in and with age comes wisdom. I am sorry you did not give the Catholic Church a chance upon “growing up”. You only get out what you put in and with age comes wisdom.

You have such a gift for writing- all the time- and this was no exception. I'm so thrilled to know more of your story. And I like that girlie Patricia Heaton, too. I had one dream day in NYC and went to the Letterman show; she was a guest. Loved her. How do you feel after writing this and putting it out there?? DeeDee, I loved reading this.

It is blessing my heart. Hubby and I love to hear people share how they came to Christ. Everyone's story is different and it causes us to realize what an awesome God we have, who uses so many ways, so many people, so many situations to turn hearts toward Himself. He is good!

I'd write mine, but I'm afraid it reads more like a soap opera. And a little bit of "I once was lost and now I'm found...oh wait! I"m lost again!" I can't put my finger on my actual salvation date, but I'm pretty sure I prayed the sinner prayer every day in the third grade. I was raised in one of those pentecostal churches, and man was I afraid of hell. I love reading everyone's stories, though. Thank you again! Thank you for sharing your testimony with us!
