I am completely lost in what my faith is

Support

I am 26 my name is Skylar.

I have been through a very long and arduous journey in my faith but I believe it to be stronger than ever. Earlier this year while my baby girl Neo (my cat) was dying and I knew she was in trouble, the night before she passed I was crying and praying over her and I heard my name echo and reverberate in my mind and I just instantly knew I was being spoken to by God. That night when I slept I felt a loving warmth around me and for the first time in a long time I fell asleep easily. The next morning when I discovered her small body I knew she had been taken to heaven.

Fast forward a month later and as I was praying I looked up and saw him standing in my doorway. It was only for a split second a large shadow in the shape of him was there, it surprised me but I was not scared. I knew it was Jesus Christ.

Today which is a few months later I made a major decision to sell my video gaming setup which I have been spending all my time on to dedicate time and effort towards God.

My strongest ties of faith family wise is to my Catholic Grandmother, I have begun studying Catholicism but I am unsure of where I lie in denomination. I do like strong tradition and have even looked into Latin Mass but the concept of confessing to a priest and not directly to God makes me hesitant to call myself Catholic. I find myself lost at this time of which version of the bible to read and what is a sin and all I really want to do is dedicate my life to Jesus Christ and be as Christlike as possible. I am lost and really need guidance in this time because where my life is right now I am more alone than ever in my journey with Christ. I don’t know what rules to follow or what I should do at this point.

I need advice and prayers.
