Getting off with a busy start

So with Moving and Camping moving up on me like a tsunami I find myself ... not knowing what to say.
I still feel unable to untangle the knot that somehow has taken up residence in that place where my mind is supposed to be. But it is getting better, either my mind is going back to normal or I am just adjusting.
This Camping Trip is going to be amazing! I hope that everyone is full of the Holy Spirit and open to his movement. I think that so often people forget that the Holy Spirit can move outside of the church, outside that environment of church friends (which is all amazing) I forget that the Holy Spirit moves in ALL aspects of our life and that he uses all sorts of experiences, events, circumstance and people to teach us... it is up to us to listen to our teacher and learn the lessons. I have been thinking lately that everyone has a lesson to teach to somebody and that we all need lessons to be taught to to us, whether by our best friends, the homeless guy on the corner, the cashier at Wal*Mart, our siblings, the guys at church or our own parents. It is is my firm belief that lessons are a lot easier to teach than to learn. It often takes humility to learn a lesson and I personally don't have it and don't see much of it around in our present culture. It is so hard to form and cultivate any virtue that our society discourages or just plains ignores. It is so wonderful to have support in your life especially in our Catholic faith. With family and friends to love you and help you up when you fall it is easier to pursue your vocation, given to you by Christ, not because it becomes easier but because you have more examples of love and hope all around you that reflect the love that Christ, our God and Father, has for us and it makes worth while. We see that the pain isn't for nothing.. that there is a purpose to everything that God asks us to go through.
HOPE. Lord.. help me to never lose hope. LOVE. Lord... let me love as you love.

FAITH. Lord... Give me that faith as small as the muster seed that I may please you.



God bless all!!
