A week from today, I will be in full communion with the Catholic Church (assuming that a week is a long enough stretch of time for me to get through my first confession, that is).

Though I’m moving this week and will be mostly without an internet connection, I hope to find a way to post about some of my thoughts as I head toward this momentous occasion.

I’ve blogged much of my spiritual journey, and you can see from reading my first post that I’ve come a long, long way. (I was also reminded of this today when I recalled that exactly one year ago my husband and I showed up at Mass and as we walked up I commented with surprise that everyone was carrying leaves for some reason). The progress I’ve made is in large part due to my absolutely wonderful commentors, whom I want to thank more extensively in a longer post later this week. Right now I just wanted to take a quick break from packing to ask for prayers that I am able to stay spiritually focused this week amidst the chaos of moving, and to say thanks for reading.
