I've debated making a blog specifically for my faith and my journey, but I always talked myself out of it.
Until now.
I imagine this will just end up being me screaming into the void, but hey, at least I have somewhere to scream.

My journey of rediscovering my faith started with the Orthodox Church. Then I found Catholicism. I thought for a long time that I was meant to be there (obviously lol. I started the classes and everything), but I'm feeling pulled back to Orthodoxy and it just gets stronger the more I resist or try to push it aside. I guess I have more to figure out than I thought ๐
๐ฉต๐ฉต๐ฉตHappy May 1st!!! Prepare for me to be absolutely feral celebrating Mama Mary all month long!!!๐ฉต๐ฉต๐ฉต
Itโs that time again!!!!
Saint Drogo
1105-1186
Feast Day: April 16
Patronage: baristas, coffee house owners, unattractive people, bodily ills, broken bones, cattle, sheep, shepherds, deaf people, gall stones, hernias, insanity, mentally ill people, midwives, orphans, ruptures, and sick people.
Saint Drogo was a Flemish noble orphaned at birth. He practiced mortifications as a youth, then wanting to be Christ-like he gave away his wealth and became a shepherd. He then went on pilgrimages to many of the holy sights where he contracted a disfiguring disease. The townspeople were so offended by his looks that they built him a small cell beside the church with only a window, where he received barley, water (being the patron of coffee), and the Eucharist, that he lived in for 40 years. He gave spiritual advice and many miracles are attributed to him.

It's been a very long time since I've posted on here and thought maybe I should give an update.
I had to stop my OCIA classes back in November because I got really sick due to my gallbladder issues. So sick I couldn't even go to mass due to being in and out of the hospital. I was hoping after I got my gallbladder removed I could restart or do whatever the priest thought best, but I'm still struggling with issues from my surgery and gallstones they couldn't get out.
I just feel very lost and... honestly... I'm disenchanted (idk if that's the right word but it's the one that first came to mind) with a lot of Catholics I've interacted with. Both online and in person. I've heard one too many arguments about how if you're Catholic you should be liberal and being conservative means you aren't a true Catholic. I've also heard the opposite argument made. All of it just pushes me further and further away, not only from the Church, but from God. This argument isn't unique to Catholicism either. It's pervading all of Christianity in the US at the moment and it's just depressing me.
Anyway, sorry this update isn't happier. Please pray I can straighten myself out. Physically and spiritually

I'm begging people to stop viewing faith through the lens of politics please ๐ญ
"not all men" you're right. Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the son of God, would never treat me like this
If anyone could pray for me I would appreciate it. I've been in the hospital the last few days for gallbladder issues. I have one surgery scheduled for this morning to remove gallstones and after that they're going to decide whether or not to take my gallbladder out
Thank you to everyone who prayed for me. I'm sorry it's taken me a while to update or even say anything at all, but I'm starting to feel human again finally. There were a few complications because I've apparently been dealing with gallstones for years and never realized that's what it was. I always assumed it was just stress and anxiety since it always seemed to be the trigger for the pain ๐ but everything is working out well and I'm healthy thanks to God

i feel so confused. i feel like im being pulled both ways towards catholicism and orthodoxy. i know the answer lies in one of them, but im still discovering my faith after nearly 10 years of being a nondenominational christian. does anyone have any advice? i know i should check out churches by me, but i feel like i wont fit in. just feel so lost right now
I was in this exact same position until recently. Discovering the Orthodox Church brought me back to Christianity. It's beautiful and the reverence for our faith is very apparent which was definitely something I needed to see. The more I studied and prayed, the more I felt led to the Catholic Church though. That's where I am now.
I would say don't rush or feel like you have to declare for one or the other. Keep praying, not juat for clarity in this, but generally. Going to churches around you is absolutely terrifying and something I struggled with, but to be perfectly honest, fitting in with the people there doesn't really matter. What matters is your experience with God in each of those places. I ultimately ended up at Catholicism because of how quiet and reflective mass is. I can't think of a better way to phrase this, but I like that during mass it feels like it's just me and God.
Regardless, I genuinely hope you end up wherever you experience His love the most โค๏ธ

love when an experience redirects you back to your original plan but with a shift in perspective and an expansion in reach.
one thing I've noticed since working on my faith, both generally and specifically in terms of my journey with Catholicism, is how much I feel again.
I've always had a lot of feelings and I've always felt everything deeply. I ended up trying to destroy that part of myself, but now it's back. Now I'm more open to working with that part of myself rather than pushing it down. It's very freeing
I've officially started OCIA classes along with my husband. We're having to do it in a less traditional way since we live in a very anti-Catholic area, but I'm still excited

So, this past Sunday was the first anniversary of my grandfather's death. My mother in law brought flowers over to my house so I could take them to my granny. They were white lilies. I thanked her, and kept a couple of the lilies for myself.
For a while now, my husband and I have been praying to be guided towards a patron saint for our family. Today, a random tiktok of a woman painting Saint Joseph came across my feed.
He was holding a white lily.
