I am not really sure what to post today. I feel like writing on of my long, “deep” posts, but I think I have writers block. Hmm. Something interesting happen, please?
Currently...
I want to be a youth minister or a therapist… I guess the next four years will come in handy.
Why?
Why don’t I feel loved? Why can’t I open my eyes to see that my Lord loves me more than I could ever fathom?! It’s easy to say… but to realize? That is a different story.
I am so hung up on being loved by others on this planet. I know that there are some people here that love me, but I feel that there are very few people who I am special to. In God’s eyes, I am...

God's Plan Is Like A Child on Christmas Morning.
You’re sitting there. Waiting. What is to come?! When can you finally see what is inside? You’re feeling silly now that Christmas is here, because last night, you were panicking.
“Mommy, what if Santa doesn’t come this year?! What if he forgets me?!”
”Santa will never forget you! You just have to trust and believe.”
Now that you see it in...
The Rules of Life and Love.
Human beings have set so many rules. We act like they are written in stone, and whoever is brave enough not to follow by them, is looked down upon. I am sick of this. I am sick of this never-ending rule book we have written and treated like it is the bible. Some examples of these “rules” are…

*There are at least two people in this world that you would die for. *At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. *The only reason anyone would ever hate you is because they want to be just like you. *A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you. *Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. *You mean the world to someone. *You are...
Things.
1. Within the last nine months of my life, my faith has become my life. My Lord has become my everything.
2. I absolutely ADORE Europe. Ireland, Italy, England, France, Scotland, Spain, Greece… I want to go there so badly. When I graduate college, I’m getting some of my best friends and going on a Europe trip.
3. I spend waaay too much of my time at Panera and Starbucks.
4. My pet...

Last night was the most fun I’ve had in quite a long time…
I'll Walk Through This Life Blind, As Long As I'm...
I have just come to realize what I have been doing wrong. I have been trying to make myself happy; to follow my own plan. It is HIS plan that will make me happy! I feel like I’m going crazy and need someone to talk to SO badly, but can’t find the words to say. I know now that I can’t fix that. I need to place my trust in Him. I don’t know what I want. It is where He is...
I keep laying this down at your feet, yet it keeps coming back to me. I don’t know why, but I know that you wouldn’t have me carry this cross unless you knew that I was strong enough to handle it… I need strength. I need guidance. I need help.

I Didn't Write This One, But I LOVE It.
A PRAYER OF LOVE
Dear Lord:
Because love is patient: Help me to be slow to judge, but quick to listen, hesitant to criticize, but eager to encourage, remembering your endless patience with me.
Because love is kind: Help my words to be gentle and my actions to be thoughtful. Remind me to smile and to say “Please” and “Thank You” because those little things still mean so...
Christ is Risen, and I'm adopted into God's...
Day one as a fully initiated Catholic: Success. I have really been living by this rule lately: Your will be done, not mine. Yesterday, God let me know what his will was. There are some new things I must do. Some new paths I must take. Now, I could sit here for hours on end describing what happened, how it changed me, and how it felt. But, the thing is, it is so much more than a feeling, and it did...

TODAY IS THE DAY!
Tonight, I am finally adopted into God’s family. I will receive the sacraments of baptism, confirmation, and first Eucharist. Words cannot describe how ecstatic and blessed I am.
I. AM. READY.
Tomorrow; CHRIST IS RISEN!
