Haven't Posted In A While

Why hello there my lovely blog. This is probably going to be a random post about sheer nothingness I just felt that it was the right thing to do to post something on this blog so that it doesn't look like I've abandoned it completely. Not that I've abandoned it, it's just that I haven't had much time to sit down and think of something to post on this blog. This blog is different from my other one; this blog is for well thought out things and my other one is just for silly pictures. Needless to say, I guess i just haven't had time to think about things to say on here. Also, I really need to change the name of this blog. I made this blog when I was going through a rough time and the title of it reflects how I felt; but I don't feel like that as often anymore and the constant reminder of how I was when I first made this blog is just completely unnecessary. The only problem is that I can't think of anything to call this blog. I have been rattling my brain trying to think of a name for it and it just isn't coming to me. I guess I really shouldn't be spending so much time on such a small detail but it means a lot to me. Oh well...don't you just love how this post that was supposed to be completely random turned into a rant about how I want to change the name of my blog...funny how things work out lol :)

wow.

I've been going through some of my old posts and it's just bringing back so many painful memories. You think that I would be over all the things that have happened to be but I guess I'm not because they still hurt like they happened yesterday...

Retreat Season

It’s almost retreat season!! I am really excited!! I don’t know what it is but I am feeling different going into this retreat than I have on any other ones. Maybe it’s because I’ve had the humbling experience of the kitchen to open my eyes to what these retreats are truly about but all I know is that I’m ready to serve!

I’m really excited. Being in youth ministry, this is what I live for! The opportunity to bring catholic teens closer to their faith and closer to God. To be able to show them that it’s okay to express their love of God and Jesus to the world. To let them know that they will always have a place at our parish where there are people who are willing to listen and lend a helping hand with their struggles or help them understand their faith further.

Retreat season is what I live for and it just changes my whole outlook and every retreat is an amazing experience. People think that because you are a peer leader or on the retreat team that you aren’t experiencing the retreat yourself. The reality is that although each of us have been on our own retreats, we are still experiencing the same things the students are; just on a different level. Being able to see the power of Christ move these teens in ways that they never thought is more powerful than anything and being apart of that transformation is life changing.

I’m so ready for this retreat this year! I’m pumped and I wish retreat season would be here faster! <3
