Impatient

[beautyforashes]

i'm getting so excited about joining the Church! i've been in RCIA since sept. and i've already learned so much. i went through the Rite of Welcome this past Sunday( i was so nervous that i thought my legs were gunna buckle from under me : ) but...

last time i met with the Dir. of Religious Ed. at my parish she told me she didn't think I would be ready to come into the Church this Easter. it made me a little sad because i was really looking forward to being fully initiated into the Church. i understood that coming into the Church is a process that takes a while, but i'm a little impatient. i really thought i would be ready because i came from a very strong faith background before, and i already felt like i had a close relationship with God.

maybe this is God's way of teaching me patience. but its hard, and a little frustrating. please pray for me. pray that God will give me patience and help me to seek wisdom. thank ya'll so much! i really appreciate this forum!

Heh, it took me a while to enter the Church also (I joined in 2002 I believe, its been a few years!). The gears really got kicked into motion a week after Easter, and I first talked to a priest during a spring ice cream social. I think in someways I was good that it took me a while. I definately had a while to learn more about the Church, the sacraments and traditions before fully entering in communion. Heh, learning patience is still something I struggle with. Hold tight, don't despair! Use it as time to learn before "the big final" (so to speak).
