Wow. This was written with such humility; absolutely gut-wrenching. The hardest lesson for me during OCIA when I converted, a lesson I still struggle with, is learning to forgive myself. Somehow, it’s easier to accept God’s forgiveness than our own forgiveness. The fact that you even ruminate on these lessons shows your dedication to your vocation of parenthood!
Thank you for the kind words Lauren. Isn’t funny how forgiveness works? Forgiving yourself, in theory, seems so easy.
I’m excited you are here on this journey with me. I’m not going to discuss parenthood, solely. I will be discussing my military service, my marriage, and other things as I grow in my faith.
My wife is a convert too. I am a revert—which doesn’t seem much different from a convert a lot of times.
This is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.
I am glad you enjoyed it and before it lands behind the paywall!
