My journal about my conversion to Judaism. |
| I started writing my conversion story in June 2023, even though it started before then. It will not be in chronological order as I remember things from the past that brought me to this point in my life. My decision to convert was not an easy one. I grew up Pentecostal. I watched my grandma speak in tongues. My aunt played keyboard in the church band. I used to attend church (a member of a Baptist church for many years) 3 to 4 times a week. I did not start my journey of healing after my divorce and expect to end up here. However, my desire and work to grow closer to G-d has left me no doubt or question about where I am now. I have no hesitation in my conversion to Judaism. This is my story of leaving Christianity and becoming a part of a people that I will be able to, one day, proudly say that I am also. A Jew. |
| Passover is a few days away. I am attempting to do as much as I can for Passover this year. I have an electric burner that has never been used, so I will be able to use that as my Pesach stove. I have a new pot that hasn't been used, so I will have a pot also. What I'm going to cook in them, I have no idea. I have taken my couch apart and thoroughly cleaned it, around it, and under it. My dining room is very clean also. I still need to tape the plastic cover to the top of the table. That will be done tomorrow. Some of my cupboards are done, but only some of them are taped. I will finish taping them tonight. It's amazing where crumbs go when you're not looking. I swear that I have never eaten next to internet router, but there was a crumb on the floor right next to it. Weird. I understand why people spend weeks cleaning. It seems that the more I clean, the more I find that needs cleaned. Whoever the Rabbi was that said cleaning should take 4 hours, was living in a different universe. There is no way that 4 hours is enough time. I have three ovens, let alone a refrigerator, dining room, counters, etc. Maybe 4 hours to clean out the fridge (well, my fridge) is enough time, but not for the entire house, including laundry. Then there is replacing toothpaste and toothbrush and searching pockets from coats and jackets that were used all year (or in one day in this state). It's a lot even when I'm not going overboard like some people do. I'm cleaning under the bookshelf (which does need it  ), or peeling all of my vegetables - just in case, or using no process food at all even if it certified kosher for Passover by the orthodox union. There's a lot that others do that I'm not doing. It's late. I have a bit more cleaning to do before going to bed. Then, I need to go shopping for food for the next week.  If I don't get a chance to write before Pesach begins, have a wonderful Passover (or Easter if you're one of those people). |
