A tad frusterated

[crazyashz]

I've been at this place in my life before, and I don't like it. I don't know what exactly sparked it in me tonight, but it's here...and so I'm going to lay it out there and hope it doesn't cross my lj line

I really like how you're reading "Faith without works is dead." It's a way that I've never thought of before, but I can see myself using now. It goes so well with Fr. Patricks homily from a while back, the one where we should answer Christ's question, "Who do you say I am?" with how we live. It really exciting knowing that I have friends who contribute to my spiritual growth. Thank you, Ashley.

I was going to go downstairs and tell you all of this because I heard you and other Karen talking, but in the four minutes it took me to use the bathroom and brush my teeth, you disappeared. You left coffee behind though, so again, thank you, Ashley.

Haha, glad it made you think...and your response definately made me laugh :) Yay coffee! We should talk about this all sometime...I kind of remember Fr. Patrick's homily on that, but I'd like a refresher :)

heh, that friend of yours sounds like a real schmuck......:-D

[crazyashz]

Lol, I know. I don't know why I hang out with him.

b/c you're a sucker for lost causes.

Wow...that hurt.

Um, it was meant a lot more like what Karen got. Let's think about how to make what we believe and dream about real. Let's show God that we really believe that he is Lord by acting like it and following his teachings. (If I remember the homily she refered to correctly, it was about how the type of people we choose to be really answers the question who do we believe Christ is.)

And like I said, it's a lot of frustration with myself as well. I want to be a good guitarist and have a senior recital in November. What happened? I failed. I didn't work hard enough and I can't blame anyone but myself. But at least I tried, and the next day I was filling out paperwork to try again for January and I picked my guitar up and kept going. I want to go to Regent...and I still haven't finished the application. And I have been working on that again lately. It's kind of a global thought about humanity and our weaknesses and working through them.

p.s. sorry if it hurt you - I didn't mean it to be hurtful. It's just a topic I really feel strongly about and felt the urge to share and get feedback on.

Just so you know, it pissed me off too.
