Yea! i think im figuring this xanga thing out!
first i have to say that the picture of me (this is jen by the way) is scary at the bottom of this page. i look a little phycho.
anyways i just wanted to say hi to all of you. im really tired and really bored and cant sleep so i thought i would write to my favorite people.
tonight i had eucharistic minister training. i of couse was the only one our age there but it amazed me how many of the adults dont pay close attention during communion. i dont know about you guys but im the most awake during mass when the whole communion/prep stuff is going on. it facinates me everytime.
so cool story time. everyone ready? i met this guy while i was visiting my school a long time ago. we have kept in touch through myspace and just resently exchanged sns on aim. (before i go any farther understand that we are just friends. this isnt going that way.) anyways, just the other day he was like "jen, i know a lot of catholics and they are not on fire for God like you, what is up with that?" i just told him i was a crazy catholic. hes christian and it was so awesome to talk with him because we had a great discussion about the eucharist, confession/pennance, whether doing good needs is the only way into heaven, and how much you should live your life by the bible.
going into this conversation i was really scared when he started to ask me all these questions, expecially since this was the first time religion has ever been brought up between us, but i know God was working through me to him. i know some of you might be losing that Jesus high you got from steubs, but just because your losing those butterflies in your stomach doesnt mean God has stopped working through YOU.
stay strong cause i know you got it in you. im praying for all of you everyday. just prepare yourself for school cause there is gonna be a lot of people disagreeing with you but you can do it. i have faith in ALL of you.
well i better be getting to bed. i love you all. call me if you ever need anything.
