About me
I’m a convert to Catholicism, after being raised nominally Lutheran and having some brief stints as an atheist in college. I began researching Catholicism in 2002 and was received into the Church in 2006. I thank God for the gift of my conversion, as my relationship with Christ has been transformed and deepened since my reception. I also am an Oblate of the Order of St. Benedict – I’m drawn to the monastic way of life and have only been drawn deeper into the Paschal Mystery and love of Christ.
I’m married with five kids, with two are living here on earth. We have lost three children through early miscarriage caused by Factor V Leiden. Our children are busy interceding for us until we arrive home with them.
I am struggling with the Cross of mental illness: depression, panic disorder, and a Third Diagnosis that I don’t feel comfortable talking about online yet. It’s a long road but the path of my sanctification and deeper union wit the Suffering Christ.
I’m a stay at home mom to our children, and my husband works in Information Technology. It’s been quite a change from being a college graduate to a stay at home mom, but thanks be to God and His graces, I’m getting things figured out.
About the blog
I began this blog as a way to find support in my conversion, especially in my reception into the Church. I lost a bunch of friends and who knows what else. Since my reception, marriage, and having children; it’s grown into a blog where I write about my life as a Catholic mom – the good, the bad, and the ugly.
