Hey you! Welcome to A Catholic Convo where I share with you some lessons God’s love has taught me. Don’t be afraid to share your own!

Please know that I am not to be considered a professional. I do not have in-depth knowledge of the church or it’s deep history. I am little and I just share what I know.

To the left you’ll find my blog posts, and below you’ll find me everywhere else. I’m glad you’re here.

“If the world hates you, realize that it hated me first.” John 15:18 That cross you have, He had it before you. It hurt Him first, don’t worry. #acatholicconvo

I’ve been asking Jesus for my house upon a hill. “Allow Me to introduce Myself again. I was with you every place you've ever been. I'm the One that held you when you couldn't stand. If you're wondering who can heal your brokenness, I can.” The way Jesus embossed this on my heart in bright gold letters is beautiful. Today I found my house upon a hill. Thank you @amandalindseycook for this song. #acatholicconvo

For a moment try to imagine when God created Mary. Not during a specific time or moment, but eternally pondering the woman Jesus would grow in. I imagine Him thinking into existence her perfect strength to compliment her perfect gentleness. Sculpting her arms to perfectly cradle her Son. Allowing her life to have as much hope as it did heartbreak. She was not unreachable, rather, she was radically available in ways I have often told God I would not be. Sweet Mary, please help me to be open to being more like you. I imagine your crown as Queen of Heaven looks especially beautiful today. Sending my love and my little flowers I have for you. #acatholicconvo

For so long I’d been walking looking at my feet. Left right left right step step step step. I didn’t dare to look up because shame was my biggest fear. As I looked at the dirt I trampled, I didn’t see the ways God was trying to get my attention. All of it happening above my head, above what I knew, above desires on Earth. But once the dirt became too brown and my steps became too dull I said under my breath, “Jesus, I trust in You”. Immediately He lifted my chin and showed me just a piece of His glory. All it took was one small murmur of hope #acatholicconvo

Funny how You’ve made a home for me somewhere so foreign. You’ve brought my favorite things over from America and placed them in Italy. The sun, a loving family, children who want to learn, and coffee. You’ve helped me to realize the requirements for somewhere to be a home for me: just You. Because with You comes eternal life, my actual home. And though I call many places my home, You know the aching nostalgia in my heart that searches every day for Your preferred way for me to get home. Lead me in Your grace and I’ll walk along the way with the saints I know. #acatholicconvo

“You cannot inspire unreasonable desires” Can’t get the song “Little Wildflower” by @catherinekluempers out of my head. Poverty poverty poverty. I saw this little piece of art on a wall in Venice and had to cross the canal to get to it. St Therese, thanks for being my best friend. I’m confident that we have matching saint medals as friendship necklaces. Oh also thank you for the random red rose growing outside of my home here in Italy. Nice touch. #acatholicconvo
