Tick-Tock

In 17 days, I will stand in front of my family, friends and the Newman Center congregation and be anointed with the holy chrism of confirmation.

I don't think I'll realize that it's actually happening, that I will actually be Catholic, until afterward.

I've been trying to explain what the RCIA process is like and haven't been able to find the right words or description.

It all depends on the day, the topic and the mood that I'm in. Some days I leave class feeling overwhelmed with emotion and assured of my decision and other days I'm fighting to stay awake.

With only two class sessions and a retreat left, I hope that I will be more overwhelmed than put to sleep.
