Due to my health, we have had to pull our daughter out of school to send her to a school with bus service. She starts sometime next week. I feel terribly guilty, but exhausted and frazzled, too. I will be glad she has bus service. At least she will get to ride to school with her neighborhood friends.
Last Tuesday night, I spoke with a priest. I have been discerning Catholicism on and off for years, but one particular issue was holding me back. The issue of no contraception and being open to life. But after speaking with the priest, who was very kind, I feel more at peace that God understands my situation and that I need to prevent more babies. The one I have is all I can cope with! Maybe that does not have to be a stumbling block to coming to the Catholic church.
The church was beautiful, and I signed up for RCIA. I finally decided to take the plunge and do it. C is not interested in becoming Catholic with me, but has given me permission to do this. So I will take the class and learn. If at some point they teach something that I just find to be absolutely impossible to believe then I will know that I should not be Catholic, but otherwise I will be confirmed at Easter and I will be able to take communion.
This decision has not been taken lightly. I was raised to believe in sola scriptura and sola fide. But the more I read scripture, the less it backs up sola fide.
