Come on...

So I haven't posted since Friday.

The weekend was a great weekend. I was able to see all my friends in the formation program which is always fun. However, there were just way to many distractions this weekend. First of all the college campus was having a fall festival across the street from where we were at, so all you could hear was music. It really didn't help that the speaker we had, I felt, was speaking to us all like we were college students and she was the professor. This was my fifth one to go to and the first one where the speaker put information on our tables on how to buy some of her things. We have had other speakers that are authors of books, but never tried to sale there material. She wasn't the most personal person in the world, so that didn't help. It was still great to see everyone. We are in the process of planning a bowling trip for the next program in November, which will be a ton of fun.

Other than that, it has been slow around the house here. I just feel like all the obstacles are coming at me and I don't know how to handle them and I give into them way to easy. I wonder if anybody has ever seriously prayed for the devil, what I mean is the devil and who he is. If he really is an angry person, maybe he needs some prayers and a nice hug, in the hopes that he would leave me alone since I am very vulnerable right now. I must stay positive and beat him through the help of God and the angels that are with me.

I teach 5th graders religion once a week and really don't know if what I am doing is really reaching out to these kids. Well today I got the affirmation I was looking for. I wanted my kids to go home and pray the rosary with there family every night. We all know how hard that could be for 5th graders and especially with parents who might not care so much about there faith. This one girl in my class actually asked her parents to pray the rosary with her and they did and the mom was so impressed that she called the director of religion education to commend me on that. I was in complete shock and my heart was filled with joy because even if I have an influence on just one child, then I am doing my job. So when she was picked up today her mom had made me some apple crisp, which was really good. My goal is to reach all the kids.
