that's been my life lately.
Also, apart from what I have previously mentioned, I have seen how different my life has become since I first recieved the Lord in Holy Communion.
-whew!!- ...
It's kind of strange, I find myself bothered by the very things that I once loved when I was younger- not that I have become an un-appreciative old lady* or anything like that, it's just...I've grown.
Amazing...I never knew the day would come when I would find myself loving prayer, and God more than video games and anime. ^_^ But, it's true- and while, if you had asked me when I was younger if I did love those things more than God- I never would have said such a thing, yet I did live that way. *sighs* Lord, forgive me.
Not that those things are intrinsically evil or anything like that- it's merely entertainment.
Still, if one wants to grow and be an excellent person- it is necessary to be deeply involved with the reality we were born to exist in, not to escape from it. Sanctity, holiness, virute- these come from living a good life full of struggles, suffering, and pain. Holiness occurs when the wisdom of God is applied and lived out daily, when life itself is given as a gift, in sacrifice- for God, and for man.
This is why I turn my back on temporal things.
As nice and as beautiful as all these Earthly things are, I have something better- and I won't turn away.
-pretty much, that's what I have to say about my trip: yeah- this is the lesson that Daiko learned. ^_^ *is happy*

NOTE: *I am only nineteen.
this is pretty much a reflection of times past in non-Earthly terms, I will see about giving a more "people friendly" report of my "sabbatical" (for lack of a better word ^^;;;) some time today- I really need to study for my Anatomy and Physiology I Lab exam today though...
ah well, I'm praying for you!! Please pray for me!
^_^ life is good.
