Can I get a witness?!

So I'm scheduled to do the Witness Talk for this Thursday's Ultreya.

It's Tuesday and I really have NOTHING.. so I'm thinking that if I ramble on here for a good while that something might come to me and I might have something to talk about..

It's about my faith journey.. how I've grown.. how I've learned to be the type of Catholic Christian I am today.

The thing is.. I'm no where near perfect.. none of us really are.. but I still don't see myself as "devout" as everything seems to think I am.. I go to Mass every Sunday.. I love the Lord.. I try to incorporate Him in everything I do.. but does that really make me devout? Does that really make me like all the other people I see in the Cursillo group?

I hardly think so..

I don't think I am even worthy enough to give this talk.. I don't even know how or where to begin.. what to talk about.. how to talk about it.. when I find so many imperfections and ways for improvement..

How can I tell people about my faith journey.. when.. I'm not really sure how far I've actually gone..

I mean.. true.. I have come a long way from what I was when I first started this blog.. relatively speaking.. I am truly devout compared to what I used to be.. but no where near what others are..

But is it really important to compare myself with the others?

This is about MY journey.. not how my journey compares to everyone else's..

I keep praying for the words.. I know He won't let me down..

I'll definitely post what I said on here.. and on my other blog..

Stay tuned..

The reanalysis is...

I love this blog.. I've really grown up with this blog.. reading entries from years and years ago have shown me how much I have really grown.

It's hard to let this blog go.. even if I have found myself spending so much more time on my other blog..

So.. I've decided to keep this one. I still have readers on here.. tho' few and far between. There are people that stumble across this blog and read it.. and leave comments.. which are always greatly appreciated.

I just won't promote this as much and will let it be.. and continue to appreciate the readers that I do have.. I'll have faith in the readers I have.. or those that stumble upon this and hope they come back..

This is also the blog I will turn to for releasing thoughts that I necessarily want friends, family and boyfriend to read.. they are usually fleeting moments and temporary emotional blow-ups..

Keepin' it real.. that's what this is..

August: Nothing new

We're in the final stretch of August.. quickly finding our way to September and I am still in utter shock at how fast this year is going.

Every year just gets faster and faster.

It's hard to make the most of life when it just quickly passes you by..

I'm in my final stretch for my MBA program as well.. I just paid for my second to the last class.. and I'm in the final two weeks of my third to the last class.. I can't believe I'm surviving it.. but I am.. with the Lord's help.. I'm able to do anything..

I want to hurry up and finish.. there are so many things I want to do with the free time I am going to have once school is done.. but I have to be patient..

I did start running.. I'm training for a 5K marathon. My goal is to do one in October. It's a 9 week training program and I'm barely on week 3.. it's interesting.. and tiring.. but I'm enjoying it.

I'll keep you posted on my progress.. or you can just go to this blog:
