Something I thought I might never see happen.. happened. A close family member went to confession after many, many decades and has been going to Sunday mass with me ever since. This person did it out of fear of getting old and passing away without the sacraments, but still – it’s a start :) And I am VERY happy about that. Just wanted to put it under here because I felt loved when I found out :)

Very grateful that I have finally did this. It has been so long getting here. Should have happened seven years ago, if only I had listened to the Holy Spirit and acted at the right time. My choice not to act, and many other things which followed that were out of my hands, made me take the long route. I need to learn to put my trust in God, to find comfort and strength in Him and not in distractions that eventually hurt me. However, despite it all He helped me and I’m finally here. Thank you Mum and Dad :)
well, I wanted a prayer group close to home, and it didn’t take Him long to make it happen :) I meet with a few friends almost every evening and we pray the rosary and read from the Bible.. and we read a random message from Medjugorje.. It was a bit strange at first because I only knew these people from seeing them at mass, or on field trips.. However, praying together really opens you up and so we are now comfortable about sharing our thoughts and prayer intentions.. Very grateful for this.
