Praise the Lord
I’ve just got to say thank you Lord Jesus Christ!!!
My fiance and I came from nothing, basically homelessness as a teenager
Got our own place to survive…before we were Catholic
Lots happened and this is years ago now but we broke up for a few months
Came back together, converted together and now 2 years later we just found out he actually has a kid, we’ve just been blessed right before with our first HOUSE that we rent
So when we found out he had a baby, we immediately set out to get the place set up for him
We’re not financially set up, we’re slowly building ourselves up but the Lord has set everything up for us
We had 2 separate beds and everything, got rid of one and put a crib in that we got for FREE
Now we have a hide a bed and a bed for us and a crib for the baby
Our church has a thing called Mary’s little tots shop
And it’s like a baby donation thing
Which we were blessed with our car seat, toys, clothes, booster seat for the table, bib, blankets, soaps, baby emergency grooming kit, books, movies and so much more
They set us up completely, now he has everything he needs here and is spending weekends here with us to be able to go to church Sunday
I’ve just got to say, we were going through SO much before we converted with everything, it felt like every turn was a brick wall in the face
Then at the fair one day my fiance stopped at the churches stand and converted, took me and I converted
Since then I’ve never felt so stable, thank you Lord, I doubted your existence my whole life until I saw you in person at the Catholic Church and since then I’ve done nothing but try to change my life for the better to be closer to you
To anybody out there that might be in that situation with the brick walls, maybe you should go to church, it seemed to save my life even when the first time I went I was expecting to hate it, defame it and to go out and spread hate against it
I couldn’t love this church more, I couldn’t love Jesus Christ more and I couldn’t love my parish more
For Jesus has put me where I am in this parish to feel that family I never had and truly I do
