ok i wanna share whats happening in my life so far :)

ok so i wrote this to my cousin and sent it to some other people but i finally got the urge to write down whats in my heart and on my mind.. so here it is lol.

spiritually, i'm learning a lot about the meaning of religion, ..

and it feels like i'm going back to the basicswhich are... : Love God , Love others...

where did all these traditions and darn culture things get in the mix?.......

and about church:

church is a meeting of a group of fellow believers who meet to praise God and carry each other's burdens in a home or outside or anywhere!...so...

wen was the last time i saw "church" fulfill that duty

and do you know what the word catholic means?

you should look it up some time.

hah ok ill tell you what i found out anyway.

it means Universal..

it means spreading the Gospel to all the nations.

thats the very root where all other denominations come from

...and somewhere along the line it got confused with saints and traditions and burning candles and insense.

being here surrounded by all these people who think different than me makes me not want to judge them.. but to love them more and learn of their culture and Love God together with them.. not like back home..

where i barely have any friends that are catholics or a different denomination loland being here makes me crazy about learning languages, and religions...

so that i am better equipped...i guess its the social work in me !AHHHlol...

im just taking a class on the church life and ministry. and i feel like everything i attached my self to the meaning of church, was very one sided, and it put more focus on "church details" then God, and everything about Christ and the Cross and his Gospel he so lovingly Brought to us :):):).

and that here.. if i wanna get Closer to God, there aren't many people to turn to.. i'm on my own with that one. which is good. cuz i've always sought enlightenment from people and looked up to people.. instead of looking most importantly at the source...

like today i caught myself alone.. and at first i was like, "oh no...what am i gonna do.." and then i walked outside and realized it was a beautiful day.. and was overcome with the urge to go jogging to the beach. and i realized God gave me time to spend with him...

so i went.. i changed and started straight for the beach.. it was the best breese i ever felt.. and i just spilled all my prayers and songs and worries to God. it took 20 min to jog there :)

i think i found my way of meditating :)there is so much more i can say..

so many new people i could share about that i have met.. but ill stop here and leave room for feedback :)

btw this is where i live now :)

God Bless you all!
