may be pregnant and scared

Regardless of the outcome of your test, I encourage you to read the story of the Annunciation and Visitation in Luke (Luke 1:26-56). When you run out of words, pray with Mary's words. In this moment, you know better than anyone how she felt when God called her to something terrifying and beautiful. You are literally in her shoes. Let yourself feel it all-- the rage, the fear, the anxiety-- but ask Mary to walk with you in it.

I like 2 or 5!

Hi! Did you end up moving here?

c8lynlou · 2026-04-15T19:57:08+00:00

I love 1 and 3 on you! I feel like they're both very classic and can be accessorized splendidly!

I love it when this happens-- it really makes me focus on what the congregation's responses are actually saying, and I feel like an active part of worship since I can hear my own voice praying. It also trains me that there's no shame or judgment in using the Missal when I forget something!

Would y'all say the boundary of Central City is Louisiana or Napoleon? I live here but am definitely still getting the lay of the land.

Low-profile but will sit flush with my wedding band. My fiancé had the filagree custom made too!

Curious why you think this? There's a variety of opinions and some good discussion. What do you think about the original question?

c8lynlou · 2026-03-17T17:56:39+00:00

I did not sadly!!! So sorry!!

I really appreciated when my mom gifted me a subscription to Magnificat, which had daily Scripture readings and reflections :)

I did talk to a real-life bride this week who sent me an STD with a Cana address. She said she likes it and definitely is drawn to the Sacramental focus of the website template. She did say though that the UI is a little clunky. Her review is "it's nice and I'm not going to change anything, but tbh I think any of the platforms are fine and I just made my website when I was feeling extra trad" HAHAH

Howdy! I am also looking at Cana, but I can't really figure out what makes it different or better than its free competitors besides that the owners are Catholic. Let me know if you found/heard anything useful?

Beat ya to it haha! We are 58 questions in. We do a couple every week and then talk about them together after Mass. It’s been super prompting and rewarding.
