Dana,
This is beautifully written and I pray for continued healing in your life. I will never forget being told at sixteen that I most likely would never have children because I had PCOS... To me it was like a death sentence because all I ever wanted was a huge family of my own. It made me feel less like a woman and I hated my body. I am so blessed and thankful for my two miracle babies. I couldn't even accept my pregnancy with Isaac because of fear I would miscarriage which is common with PCOS. I also have a hard time with the question will you have more children, because I have no clue we are at the mercy of God and can only pray and hope we will have more! May God bless you on your challenging but beautiful journey! Love in Christ Macrina

Keep up the good work. I have been teaching high school English since 1985 and it is clear from this post that your head and heart are in the right place.

To life indeed! So glad to hear your going to be around for awhile longer. (unless you get hit by a bus, of course. ;)) Happy Birthday--and if you ever need a friend to drink some champagne with, give me a call.

Hi Dana,
I commented on this post yesterday. But, I think I attached it to another of your posts. Anyway I'm sure you can tell it was meant for this post.

Melissa,

So glad that you found something of interest on my links page. You are very fortunate to live somewhere with such a selection of Orthodox churches! When we decided to visit one for the first time, we looked in the yellow pages and found the closest one in a town about 20 miles away (not bad!).

You really need to experience a Divine Liturgy for yourself. We happen to attend an Antiochian Orthodox church and love it. In addition, we first began to learn about the Church by attending "inquirer's classes" on Wednesday nights where we learned about church history and the theology of the Church. My husband and I spent many an evening discussing, questioning, crying, and praying about this thing that brought so much cognitive dissonance into our lives. Finally, we were sure that the Orthodox church was the Church handed down to us by the apostles ("the Ark of Salvation"), and we made the decision to become catechumens. We were baptized with our daughter (then, age 16) into the Church in 2007.

My husband is especially knowledgeable about the history and theology of the Orthodox Church, so feel free to ask any questions you want. If I can't answer you, I will find someone who can.

Thanks again for writing, Melissa. You are in my prayers!
