So - what will I be doing this year? Good question. I'm living in a house with 6 other women, who are going to be striving after the Lord, to live their lives fully for Him. I will be continuing at Capital University, and striving to fulfill a dream of building up the Catholic community at the university. My hope is to start a bible study, at least for fall semester, and hopefully have students get involved with St. Paul's Outreach by having them come to One Gospel's and women's nights. I will also be in a small group, with about 3 other girls where we will share life together, and love one another with Christ's love.
Basically, I am so excited to for this year to get started, and am so excited to attend School of the New Evangelization in Minnesota, to gather tools to live life as a student missionary.
The world promises you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness. — Pope Benedict XVI
“It is Jesus that you seek when you dream of happiness; He is waiting for you when nothing else you find satisfies you; He is the beauty to which you are so attracted; it is He who provoked you with that thirst for fullness that will not let you settle for compromise; it is He who urges you to shed the masks of a false life; it is He who reads in your heart your most genuine choices, the choices that others try to stifle.
It is Jesus who stirs in you the desire to do something great with your lives, the will to follow an ideal, the refusal to allow yourselves to be ground down by mediocrity, the courage to commit yourselves humbly and patiently to improving yourselves and society, makng the world more human and more fraternal.”
― Pope John Paul II
May God bless you, and stay tuned for more updates on my year as a student missionary, and reflections on living a Christian/Catholic Life.
