Live Life Passionately

Mon. 28 Feb. 2011


    Matthew Kelly says "Live Life Passionately." What does that mean, I would say to strive to be the best person God intended me to be. Which that's not something that can be done in one day and say OK I'm done with that whats next.That's something you have to truly work on each and every day in life. You are never finished doing Gods Will until He calls you home to be with Him once again. I have been thinking about something my dad told me just the other day he said now a days we live to be around 70 to 80 years old and I am 22 now that means a quarter of my life on earth is gone and I haven't done much to live the way I would think God would be wanting me to be. I have two wonderful blessings in my life that I helped bring into life there names are Emma Kate and Meredeth Grace. I truly have had to struggle some days to even get out of bed after thinking all night about them. We gave them up for adoption when they were born. I miss them terribly and the pain I suffer from having to hand them to two wonderful families is more than one should have to feel in a lifetime. I know that they are safe but its hard living a life when people just want to know everything about you and for me to have to tell that story time and time again Its more than I can bare sometimes. But with my hardship two great families have been truly blessed with the greatest gift they could receive. A Child.

     On to another thing I read tonight. Someone said "Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid" and that makes me think of when Jesus was in the desert and the Devil was tempting Him to go to the highest Mountain and throw himself down and God will send all the Angles to his rescue. Jesus was Bold enough to stand up to the devil and say no we need to strive to be more like Jesus in this sense were we need to try harder to be able to say no to the temptations the Devil buts us through.

        Be Bold, don't be afraid to dream. Dream big and figure out how to accomplish your dreams and don't worry about failing. People said to Thomas Edison after he invented the light bulb how does it feel to know you failed a thousand times trying to make this and he said I did not fail I found out a thousand ways not to make a light bulb. I thanks God for every day he lets me be with my family and letting me try to live out my life the way He intended me to live it. I also thank Him for my parents because if it wasn't for them I would not have gone to church yesterday and listened to the readings and how they have opened my heart again to let the light of God back in.
    Thank you Lord
