Fellow homeschooling mom Karen Edmisten writes about her journey as a convert. Being a cradle Catholic, I’ve been through everything she talks about, I’ve had my ups and downs, phases of questioning and doubt, etc. And I’m still here. Just today I was telling hubby how he scared me with his story about a co-worker who had left the Church and whom hubby would love to bring back to the Church. I wanted to stop him, I’ve been warned by people before — what if you don’t know enough? What if he pulls you out instead? What if you begin to doubt? But I have to remember that no matter how my dear hubby is largely “unschooled” in matters of the faith, that he (besides my parents) is the one person who’s held up my faith in the times when I’ve been doubtful. He’s the one who lives a truly Christian life day in and day out, much more so than I do. He’s a cradle Catholic but he lives his faith simply. He’s not going to be a Scott Hahn or a Jeff Cavins, but he has been Christ’s witness to me for as long as I can remember. If anything, I have been converted and re-converted because of him and his example. I should have no doubt that he can bring this man back to the Church if that’s what God wants him to do.
