So, I was just about to go to bed when I was browsing on Facebook one last time. I stumbled across this video made by some of the people at the Evangelical church I attended for a little over a year. As I mentioned in my first post, I am a Catholic revert. There was a time from age 16-19 that I never stopped believing in the entity of God, but I pretty much lost faith in everything else. I wasn't going to church (neither was my family) and I was getting into some bad situations. When I hit rock bottom I heard a radio commercial (on a secular station) asking me if I felt like my life was empty, and telling me to come to this church. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced. I will always remember and be grateful to this church for teaching me what it means to have an actual relationship with God, which is something I had always missed growing up in the Catholic Church.

One of the reasons I am so happy to be back in the Catholic Church is that I now realize what the Sacraments actually are. They are the ways that we can absolutely know that God's Presence is with us that that His Grace is being given to us. Back when I was 19 and was discovering who God is, Worshipping God through music was an amazing way for me to connect with Him, especially as I am musical and enjoy using those gifts for Him. But now, receiving the Eucharist is even more powerful than Worship music. Because not only is His Presence around me as I sing to Him, but it is actually going inside me and becoming physically a part of me. Amazing.
