Something called Spiritual Direction...

First, what is a Spiritual Director, it's in the lines of going to therapy but you discuss your relationship with God or the higher person you believe in. It is a nice way to see why God lead you to where you are at. And to also see why a person had to go through a hard time in their lives.  We try to see the plan that God has for us, for that person.

It's been some time now that I have been meeting with a Spiritual Director, and boy has it been a journey. And so far, I feel more separated, more distant from God than I have ever been. Wich is not a bad thing, it is a good thing, a great thing. Questions have come up that I haven't thought of, questions that I don't have answers for. I started taking classes on different topics of religion and in one session with my spiritual director, I was brought aware that I have God in my head, all this knowledge I have acquired is in my head, now I have to find a way to bring it to my heart. To feel more connected to GOD. This is a new process a new way of looking at things. I have been trying meditation and keeping a journey, although I must confess I have not succeed in journaling nor meditation, but I am trying.

Wait can this count as my journal for the day???

Understanding Why God has a Strange Sense of humor.

"If you want to make God laugh tell him your plans" have you ever heard this quote? If you say no, where have you been at? Or maybe it's just that you might not be religious in which case kudos.

For does of us that have heard that saying, have you stopped and thought why it is actually saying? Google the phrase God and his sense of humor and all these quotes will come out, quotes from famous people.

Is it a bad thing that God has a sense of humor? No. I don't believe so. We need something to keep us on our toes and to search for God, in does times. Plus, if God had no sense of humor, how boring would that be.

What to write as my first blog???

Let's start by saying that life is a funny thing. You never know what's going to happen.
My brother, who is younger than me by a year, is having a baby on September. This was a surprise to all of us. But at the end of the day, we are family and we are there to support each other no matter what.

I became a youth minister on October of last year. It's been a journey learning and putting all the classes I ones took in practice. But none the least its been great, I love it. I've gotten the chance to meet so many loving youths.

Even though I have always wanted to be a youth minister it was crazy who things played out. I was at a job interview at another parish, and I got there early so I had some time to go into the church and pray. I prayed to Jesus Christ to put me in the right place. To help me see where it was that he wanted me to be at; I had other interviews at other places as well, and I was having trouble deciding where was the place for me. Well, that same day I went back to work and found out that the youth minister at our parish was leaving and I was offer the job. It was like Jesus was answering my prayer, super fast.
