God bless you on your journey - and bless you for keeping at it. I, too, was born/baptized/raised Catholic...but there was an unsettling I couldn't explain...ever since I was 8 years old. In my late teens, I started going to a non-denominational fellowship (but also went to mass as I was still living under my parents' roof and it would have been disrespectful to go against their wishes). Eventually, I moved out, married, etc. I was baptized in my early 30's at a non-denominational church...and it was wonderful.

Not big on any organized religion right now...just me, a bible, some family, whatever. Most of my family is still Catholic, and we just respect each other's beliefs.

To me...Jesus is my Savior...the rest is noise.

I'll bet if you look up "non-denominational fellowship" in your area and pray about it, God will lead to you a place for baptism.

I come from a very large Catholic family, and sadly my decision to walk away from that religion was not respected by some of them. My Mom gives me the most grief about it, even when I tell her my relationship with Christ has deepened because of my simplified Faith. My sister (born again) and I joke about being step-children in our large family because of our departure from Catholicism.

I’m going to take your advice and knock on some doors to find my Baptism and let God do the rest!
