My Confirmation -Guest Writer Theresa

Yesterday was the big day, I finally made my Confirmation!!!
I have been waiting for my Confirmation my whole Catholic life, and now that I have finally made it, I feel like I am truly in charge of my faith, and the possibilities are endless.

When I walked into the church yesterday I remember being so nervous. I looked around at my peers and I saw how nervous they were, too. We were all dressed to impress and eager to get into the worship space to begin mass.  When mass did get started, I felt as if nothing else in the world mattered at the moment, and I think my fellow candidates felt the same way. It didn't matter what happened at school that day, what we were wearing, or anything else- we were all about to receive the Holy Spirit, and we were as excited and eager as ever. The mass went by surprisingly quickly,  but I made sure to soak in every word and every song.  When the Bishop anointed me with chrism on my head, I took a deep breathe in and realized that today was the first day of my adult Catholic life and I was excited as ever. After the inspiring service, I was overwhelmed with happiness for the rest of the night. I was truly an amazing day.

I would like to take a minute to give some thanks where thanks is due. First off, I would like to thank my Mom, Susan.  She has always inspired me to be a better Catholic through all the years she has taught me catechism, in writing this blog together, and all the in-depth talks we have had about our faith. I would would also like to thank my sponsor, Brandy, for helping me through this whole process and being an amazing sister. And last but not least, I would most definitely like to thank all of you. This blog stated out as a random crazy thought during the summer, but has turned into so much more. I would like to thank you for following my Confirmation journey, and I am very excited for what is to come with the future of this blog.  Please stay tuned in, My Confirmation was not the end but only the beginning!

God bless,
Theresa
