So I just worked about an hour on a post because I...
As I was wrapping up, my computer crashed, and it didn’t save. Woohoo.

Talking to people and REALLY getting to know them.

Making lists.
People who see...
Bonfire...
Wasn’t “crazy” like Drew’s, but it was nice. At times, I think I was a bit too worried about everyone else having fun to actually have fun myself. But I did have fun for most of it. Perks…
1) Erin was surprised!! :) Happy birthdaaaay!
2) Those two days of non-stop work payed off! Now we actually have a nice yard and a bonfire pit.
3) People took pictures. I enjoy...
I just haven't felt like writing this week...
I have been so busy. Sorry ya’ll.

Question: Can a man and a woman ever just be friends?
Answer: For a short time perhaps. Making the friendship last requires that you find each other at least vaguely repulsive. Good luck!

I wish Friday would get here already. I have been in summer mode for months now. I most certainly need this summer to refresh and have a great year next year!
Most are waiting for something, while I’m waiting for anything. Most are waiting for someone, while I’m waiting for anyone. Most are waiting for sometime, while I’m saying “anytime now…” What am I waiting for? I don’t know, and it’s driving me crazy. Oh, how I dislike being so impatient.

A woman’s fiance of six years told her to “Get an abortion or get out.” She moved out that night, with nothing to her name, and no idea where to go. I’m graduating high school with a full ride scholarship, and that woman is truly my best friend. We did it, Mom. You and me. We’ve never needed him.
This is absolutely horrifying. →

Bible Verse of the Day.
Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
Ah, if only we really let this one sink in. When something makes us angry, it is hard to restrain ourselves from reacting in a harsh way. However, when we are doing this, we are focusing on our own prosperity and happiness instead of being concerned about the good of others. Although we may feel like we are getting...
Letter from Randy Raus.
Earlier today I wrote an email to the president of Life Teen program about my call, and how I feel that He is calling me to youth ministry. However, I wasn’t really sure if it was too young to tell. I went into a lot of specifics, but I think I’ll just post what he wrote back rather than what I sent.
“Marisa,
Thanks for taking the time to Email me. I am inspired just reading...
Yay!!
Randy Raus, president of the entire Life Teen program, is offering his rosary for me specially today… oh my gosh! I am so blessed.

I’ve been a little off my game this weekend. Sorry about the lack of posting. I now have 26 followers! Not much, but good enough for me. Thank you guys so much! :) Lots of love. ♥
I feel like I’m going crazy. I feel like I’m not good enough for… well… anything. Anyone. I am such a roller coaster sometimes.

Bible Verse of the Day.
Hebrews 11:1- “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen.”
Today’s verse may come off as a simple one, but it is truly anything but simple. So often we loose faith, we question “is this even real?” We loose sight of what is really important. We go on thinking we can lead our own lives and get through everything on our own....
I had a truly fantastic night tonight. I wish we had exalt more often. I also wish that this wasn’t the last one of the year. Mary, help me to know Christ. Help me to go down the right path. Grab me by the neck and drag me if you must. God, whatever Your will is, help me to do so. If necessary, grant me more suffering so that I may grow and be made better and new. You are my everything. I...

Bible Verse of the Day.
1 John 4:18 - “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.”
I have decided to do one random bible verse every day. So, here goes.
This is a very, very powerful verse. I believe it is saying that real love has no room for fear. If you truly love, you are not afraid of punishment. You are willing...

Dear Friends...
If you need someone to hold your hand while you walk down the path, I’ve got two hands, two legs, and an open heart.
If you need someone to pray with, I’ll get down on my knees, prostrate, or even pray over the phone.
If you need someone to talk with, spill your heart out, and I’ll spill mine.
If you need someone to listen, my ears aren’t going to fall off, and my...
