New Year, New Strength

Lately I have had struggles and trials with my faith, but today (yesterday I suppose, now looking at the hour) I went to Mass and I realized something. High points and low points, I will always stay with the church. I felt that God was with me today, and that I do have more work to do and I must be a good student and a good steward and most of all lead with example.

I hope that I can fulfil the role and be the best I was made to be. I'm a lover, not a fighter, but sometimes I know I must stand up for what is right. For the most part, I know I do my best work just being me. Being me is being a person who likes all people from all walks of life and histories. The thing that I ask of my friends is that they have good futures.

Not all my friends are Christians, not all have any religion that they follow at all. While it is important, I don't think it's the only thing that can define a person as being good or bad. God will find people as He will as they will find Him when they yearn with desire.

My job, live by example.

I know that He will lead me along the path to do his work, and I know I will never leave Him. His comfort at Mass today has reinforced that assurance.

Happy and blessed 2009!
