Lately, I have been feeling like a ping pong ball in my own head. I'm learning a lot about a lot of things, but the problem is they all seem to contradict each other. I am learning how to cultivate joy, but I am also learning how to give myself space to be sad, I... Continue Reading →
Walls: Start with Love
Lately, I keep finding things that people say are rules or how things should be that are hard for me because I have walls up because of things that have happened to me. I learned this because I read a blog post about giving God our pain, and as I have been offering up my... Continue Reading →
Acts 15: Christians Chill Out and Love
"Reading 1 Acts 15:22-31 The Apostles and presbyters, in agreement with the whole Church, decided to choose representatives and to send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. The ones chosen were Judas, who was called Barsabbas, and Silas, leaders among the brothers. This is the letter delivered by them: "The Apostles and the presbyters,... Continue Reading →
The Conversation about Abortion
With all of the abortion talk going around, I have been feeling so sad. There is so much pain on either side. It's hard for me to take a side because I feel like I understand the arguments and feelings on either side. I have felt unwanted and that feeling is devastating, and I have... Continue Reading →
Make Your Choice
About a week ago, I wrote a blog post about man's ability to choose his God. I have noticed that God will, in many ways, be whoever we ask Him to be. Even immediately after I wrote it, though I felt it was finished and said it was supposed to say, I felt like there... Continue Reading →

There are screenshots being shared in all of my groups... Continue Reading →
I Choose Love
I wrote a post a couple of days ago about who God is, and how He will reveal Himself to you however you ask Him to. That being said, something felt wrong ever since I posted it, but I couldn't figure out what because I really believe He does that, but then I realized that... Continue Reading →
A Good Friday Style Easter
This Easter was a hard one for me so far. On Friday, I saw a headline out of the corner of my eye, "When Easter feels like Good Friday." I had a sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. As I crawled through lent this year, my refrain was, Easter is almost here, Easter... Continue Reading →
The Silence
For the last few weeks, I've barely posted on here. I felt guilty and I insulted myself for it, but it wasn't until tonight that I realized what I was doing. I have a bad habit of getting too caught up in what everyone else thinks about me. We have all heard that one, I... Continue Reading →
How to Church Shop For Catholics
I can't tell you how many times I have heard people say some variation of "The Mass is not for us. It doesn't matter if you don't get anything out of it." Which, for me, basically equates to, "your feelings don't matter, just do it." To a certain extent, this is true. We believe Christ... Continue Reading →
