My Conversion Story Journal

July 19, 2025

Tomorrow, my kitchen will be koshered. I have almost no dishes and my cupboards and fridge are empty. I will not be able to use my kitchen until the mikvah. My friend B offered to let me use her kitchen and she would turn on the stove for me. I'm hoping that there isn't a long time between my kitchen being koshered and going to the mikvah. I will get tired of eating out, and imposing on others (even when offered) will get to be a burden for them and I'll feel bad.

For some reason, I thought koshering my kitchen came after the mikvah, not that things have happened the way I thought they would. Life hasn't gone exactly (or at all) like I thought it would.

My life is weird.

G-d, I still trust you and love you.
