As I sat in Mass this morning, watching all the different people we have come to love enter the church and wave at Braxton and me, I had a deep ache in my heart. I am going to miss our parrish so much! Being Catholic has changed my life in so many wonderful ways. I was raised in the Church of Christ and my family has had a hard time accepting the fact that I have a new church home,.. well they still haven't accepted it actually and probably never will. The first time I went to mass was a pentecost Sunday. What first caught my attention was watching all the people taking their seats. They came in, bowed to the altar, and got on their knees. I had never experienced a church with such a strong connection to God before. Right away they were focusing on the real purpose of being there,.. to worship Him. They weren't gossiping about what so-and-so did last week or who was sitting in who's pew,.. they were there to experience holiness. I loved it! Where else should the word "Adoration" be spoken but when refering to spending time in God's presence? Catholicism isn't for everyone and that's ok. But it is DEFINATELY for me. During a time in my life when everything seemed to be spinning out of control, I found the church and it has captured my heart ever since. I LOVE going to mass. I LOVE serving in His mass. I'm going to miss Most Blessed Sacrament so much and I can only pray God brings us to a wonderful parrish in Utah for Brax to grow up in. To everyone from church who reads this,.. thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your love and friendship.. you will always be a part of our family.
