so i went to church yesterday at neumann.
on the way there i probably heard the best song ever. live like your dying by kris allen.
it seriously describes a life that needs to be lived and how to be living it perfectly. you only have this one shot at life, why not take advantage of what God's given you. we are all here for a reason and we have to live life to the fullest to figure out why. how amazing is that?!
that means...stay up a little later to watch a movie with a friend. stay out a little longer to laugh louder. go on that rollercoaster even though your scared and scream your head off. tell people how you truly feel. eat icrecream AND appreciate it. and do not be afraid to let your hair down and scream.
which leads me into one of the best homily's ever
fr. jude michael krill, a fransician friar is quite an amazing person and priest. my all time favorite teacher. it was one of my favorite gospel readings which added to such a great homily.
Jesus sat down opposite the treasuryand observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents.Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them,"Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in morethan all the other contributors to the treasury.For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth,but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had,her whole livelihood."
how awesome is it to be able to give of your whole self to this God who loves you exactly the way you are unconditionally.
fr. jude went into saying how your life is what you give to God in the end. so give of it all. make sure you tell the people you love, how much you love them. apologize and accept apologys. don't hold grudges. miracles do happen.
yes i complain. ALOT! and it makes me feel so shameful and disgusted. but at the end of the day, i praise the Lord daily of all that has happened in my life, even if hurtful, because it made me a better person. for some reason all of sudden i have been thinking alot about my past. alot of things that i should have said, that i want to say NOW, have arisen, and i dont know if i should say those things or not to that specific person. sometimes communication gets so messed up in my head that i can't tell whether im dwelling on a situation, or i should be legit concerned about the person. and after hearing this homily and listening the song on repeat about a billion times, makes me pray even harder about contacting this person.
i love you all dearly. you make me all so proud. but please please please. dont let school stress you out to the point that your not living. you only have this one life and you all deserve to laugh that beautiful laugh. because in the end you dont know when your last day on earth is and i DO NOT want you to regret not saying or doing something you wish you had because you thought something else was more important. NOTHING is more important than the here and now.
so make sure
you call someone you haven't talked to and tell them you love them.
do something that scares you everyday.
watch a sunrise.
laugh loud. dance like a fool. sing your heart out.
look in the mirror and completely accept the fact that you are beautiful.
love yourself. and love others UNCONDITIONALLY!
apologize and forgive
pray pray pray pray pray pray pray pray.
LIVE
