Journal entry #2

I went to daily mass today. And the Father recited Gospel of John 10:24-30

“And so the Jews surrounded him and said to him: 'How long will you hold our souls in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.'

Jesus answered them: 'I speak to you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these offer testimony about me.

But you do not believe, because you are not of my sheep.

My sheep hear my voice. And I know them, and they follow me.

And I give them eternal life, and they shall not perish, for eternity. And no one shall seize them from my hand.”

As I heard that my throat tightened. I had strayed from the Catholic Church unknowingly for 12 years. And finally this month. I came back. And the LORD called my name.

I was going through my head all I had done wrong. Including being a trans man. A mortal sin they say. But I know if I was not living the way I am I would’ve committed an even greater mortal sin. I started to sob because even though this is something that goes against the Church. It does not go against the LORDS love. No one can judge me but him. Because although my physical voice has changed the LORD still knows me.

My soul is a man. And I know this was one of Gods challenges. I had to find myself to find God. And so I can finally say. My father I am finally home.

Journal Entry #1

For the past three weeks I have been reading through the Catechism and listening to many podcasts about the Catholic religion. I think I have found my self overwhelmed with Joy and Love in coming back. I have gone to confession and taken part in the Eucharist. I am now about to attend daily mass.

My wife is not Catholic nor was she raised Catholic. But I have been having discussions with her and I have seen both of us lessen in our anxiety’s and fears. I have seen her open up about her past faith beliefs.

I’m not sure what it is. But in coming back I feel I have found a missing piece of myself. I tried for so long to pretend God did not exist. But here I am finally falling to my knees and saying “I am so sorry LORD” and the best way to picture it in my head is as soon as I said that the Trinity held me tight and wrapped me in warmth and love and acceptance. I have been having a euphoric few weeks since then.

More journal entries to come. Bear with me I’m figuring things out.

Have a wonderful day and don’t forget to lead with love.

Intro post!

Hello!

My name is Lincoln and here is a little introduction

This page will mainly be journal entries but also maybe random posts that are up for discussion.

I will accept messages and comments etc no matter what.

Some things about me, I am 22 years old. I am civilly married. I went to a Catholic school for 10 years and then a Lutheran school from 12-18.

I have been baptized and taken first communion. At the age of 15 I had tried to stop believing in God and the Catholic Church.

But after 12 years I have finally found my way back and have began my journey.

I had taken classes on Apologetics and have recently been DEEP DIVING into Catholic theology and so on.

This page is a page of tolerance. And that means FOR EVERYBODY so…

If you are, homophobic, transphobic, misogynistic, a complete asshole, or not tolerant of ANYONE you can leave.

I will not accept any hatred, or any cruel comments I will accept honest curiosity and discussion

This place is not to harm ANYBODY or bash any group of religion, people country etc.

I hope you enjoy!
