i became a born again CHRISTian in 2003 and also blog about my love for JESUS, decorating the blogs with the talent of art He gave me. Wayne from Jeremiah Films connected your link and i was intrigued to read about your conversion, because i came from a Catholic background. Are you a Bible-believing CHRISTian Catholic then? i know it doesn't matter our denomination (i go to a Baptist church, but i don't label myself a Baptist), as long as we believe that JESUS is the Way to the Father and that the Holy SPIRIT is that Helper He gave us when He went back to the Father.

Some of my family is still unsaved…what do your family say about your conversion?

Jen, after a couple of days (or months, really) of alternatively realizing and ignoring my own feelings, your blog has inspired me to get my thoughts in order and even seek others’ advice. Not to plug myself (!), but I just started my first blog to help me understand and sort through my own thoughts. I have no readers and no idea what I’m doing… And that goes for both blogging and exploring religion. In case you or anyone else have any thoughts or advice, I have titled my blog Courage and Clarity. http://courageandclarity.blogspot.com/

For now, I will continue reading your past blog entries and will try to keep on examining myself and my thoughts. Thank you very much.

I have been reading your blog for hours today. I am a 20 year old college student, and I am feeling increasingly drawn toward Catholicism, the religion of my childhood. I do not yet believe in my heart, but I feel a pull toward God that I cannot deny. I cannot help but feel that I may be at the beginning of a journey. I am trying to learn and practice humility, so that I may keep my eyes and heart open. My largest struggle comes with my homosexuality. I am young, and the thought of a lifetime of celibacy is scary and somewhat overwhelming. I dream of having a partner in life and raising children. Perhaps I will be able to succeed in a happy, healthy, and productive heterosexual relationship when I am older.

I wanted to send to you my most sincere gratitude for your blog. Yesterday I read blogs and forum entries written by Catholics that turned me off, but your writing and reasoning resonates with me. It has inspired me. I will continue to read and consider.

If I may, I would like to request that you and any others reading my comment will please pray for me. I seek humility, clarity, and courage.

Thank you for all the comments!

Meta - yes, that was a big factor in my conversion. I wrote about it a little bit here, and my entire category of posts on the subject is here.
