Following the Lord

I just want to follow the Lord. I want to live my life as a prayer. Sometimes is so hard to do that. Its difficult to balance your prayer life with your school work. Honestly I would rather go prayer and focus on the Lords will rather than school work Being active in the drama club in high school I thought thats what I wanted to do with my life. So, I applied to Oswego State and Genesee Community College. Well, I didnt get into oswego the first time but I was accepted to Genesee Community College. When I first arrived I was petrified because I didnt know anyone, nor did I know where anything was. Even though the school was very small, I didnt know where some of my classes were. Which makes me laugh because now I am at a school that is a zillion times bigger than GCC. Anyways, for the first few weeks I became acquainted with the theatre department. The first show that we partipated in was "The Importance of Being Earnest". Because I only participated in crew I only had to be there a week before the show. The first time I went to rehersal I met the director. The directors name was Steve Vaughn. O goodness I guess you could say I had a bit of a crush on his personality. For the first few rehersals I learned was I was supposed to be doing, which was move a wall for the first act and the second act.

Part 3 The Seed

After the trip I filled out a few cards and started to recieve mail from various religious orders.. Because my faith is very important to me, and becuase of my intersted in religious life I wanted to use Holy week as at time to reflect on the Lords will... (To be continued)...

The Seed Part 2

During junior year I began to look into religious orders. In the fall in was introduced to my first order The Daughters of St. Paul. The Daughters of Saint Paul is an apostolic order whose mission is to preach the Gospel through the media which includes music, books, and etc. Because my pastor knew I was a communication studies and played the saxophone he sent me a pamphlet on the order. Then not too long afterwards my friends priest Father Mark, said there was an order that dealt with the media called the Daughters. Was Jesus trying to tell me something? I don't know yet!! At then end of the month I was fortunate to attend the Right to Life March in Washington DC. Throughout the trip I was able to talk to our diocesan vocation Director Father O'connor. We were able to discuss my life. As our conversation progressed I talked about my worries about school and he gave me a quote which I have remember ever since. The quote is "Nail yourself to the Desk Like Christ to the Cross". I was also able to discuss my possible vocation to religious life and what steps I should take to look into religious life. He told me there was book that was full of different orders, along with their postcards so you could send for their information. Great trip Great motivation Great Man of God.
