At the same time, I also keep longing for my Protestant traditions, just because it has such a nostalgic feeling and tugs at my heart because it was so much of my childhood, and is still the faith of the majority of our family. It would simply be "easier" for us, but I know that it isn't for us, if that makes sense. God is leading us to His church, and its a longer process with more bumps and spins than I expected!Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207797580645748300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172946363111012523.post-61364328641567789532012-01-28T11:44:33.884-06:002012-01-28T11:44:33.884-06:00I understand where you are with this.

I feel like I am on a see-saw between the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Churches, helplessly skidding from one side to the next; or maybe on a merry-go-round passing each in turn again and again and again and getting mighty dizzy in the process! Hoping to spin inward to the centre and peace rather than spinning off into space. ("Arrrgh!) Begging your prayers and offering mine for you and yours. God bless.

Really, I know we are in need, haha. And it is such a comfort to know that we aren't alone. I can tell you though, that the experiences we have had so far with the RCIA programs is so very disappointing, and I am hoping that I am not letting that disappointment alone interfere with our faith. We had a very negative experience with an RCIA program years ago, when my mother converted to the church and we first considered the faith, and so we avoided that local church this time around and I just couldn't believe the difficulty. Everyone was kind, but there was just no way that the way the RCIA programs are set up and run, that our family could go, and there was no alternative way of taking classes available. I will just sigh about it and take this time to look further into faith and history and to continue praying. I am sure there is something I am missing and this pause is happening for something to come about because of it. Anyway, that was a little tangent, haha, but we appreciate so much your prayers and the sweet openness and kindness of you and your family. It gives me hope. =o)Kellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03207797580645748300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172946363111012523.post-15847995427010828672012-01-25T20:04:09.809-06:002012-01-25T20:04:09.809-06:00Kelli I've had your post up for a day and a ha...Kelli I've had your post up for a day and a half trying to comment!<br />I wish I had the knowledge to explain the east/west split, and while I have heard it explained and it made sense to me, I would never be able to do it justice. It's so complicated.<br />More than anything I wanted to tell you that you and your family remain very much in my prayers as you discern God's calling. I can't even begin to tell you how sad it makes me the way you've been treated by the local Catholic churches/RCIA programs. I can't say I'm surprised though. My husband worked in a few parishes when we were first married and sometimes I think that Catholics can get in the way of conversions...as a whole, I think we're behind on evangilization and that makes me sad.<br />Anyway, I continue to pray for you and for the Kingdom.<br />Much love to you, my friend.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135272827538989265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4172946363111012523.post-59579762223688255522012-01-25T14:45:53.734-06:002012-01-25T14:45:53.734-06:00Thanks Haley!

We are so happy here, and Adam's commute hasn't been but a few minutes longer than it was before the move! SUCH an added blessing!<br /><br />I don't want to know. I have a feeling its too far away! But I am happy for you all.<br /><br />p.s. I miss our chats! I feel disconnected.
