A from Iowa, USA

I attended church with my grandma as a child. My parents divorced when I was 5. My mother is a Methodist but did not attend church regularly however my grandma would. I lived with my mother. My father is a devout Catholic. When we saw him, we would attend mass with him. We only saw him maybe five times/year. As I got older and went off to college, I drifted away from the church. I believed in God but never really had a fire lit in me about him. I have never read the Bible. I did not attend church. I really did not understand the passion our Lord went through for us. About 1.5 years ago I stumbled across some of the MDM messages on line. How I did, I can't recall, but I will say, I was not searching for them. They kind of found me. I started reading some of them. Then I started from the beginning and truly felt a passion light inside me. I started to pray more. I had never said the Rosary or Divine Mercy Chaplet in my life but sought out how to recite them. I found websites that guided me through them step by step. I literally would pray the Rosary with a "cheat sheet" next to me. Next thing I know, I am searching for a church for me and my family to join. June 2014 me, my husband and our children joined a church. I pray the Rosary daily and am reading the Bible for the first time in my life. I also attend Bible study every week. I can honestly say that when I was going through my conversion, I was being attacked by Demons. I know this sounds crazy but I am a sane woman. I thought I was going crazy until my dad spoke with a Priest about it and told us I was under spiritual attack to try and stop my conversion. I would be tormented quite often in my dreams. I slept with the lights on every night almost afraid to go to sleep. One night the attacks were so bad I cried out to Jesus and the blessed Virgin Mary. She appeared in my room and the demons fled. I have not had hardly any attacks since then. Sorry this is long and part of it sounds crazy but this is what happened and I thank God everyday for not giving up on me and leading me to my conversion. I kept a journal of all attacks and of all graces given to me by Jesus and Mary. God bless.
