Well I feel as if things are picking back up for me. Hopefully the funk I was in will be the last funk for a while. I just hope that things will stay positive for me in the next few months. One of those positive moments for is the birth of my nephew, Ethan Daniel. One of the hardest things for me is not being able to be there to see him and to hold him. However, when I head home, I will be hogging that baby and trying to spend some time with my niece as well. I love them both so much, even if they don't know me right now. Well my nephew certainly wouldn't know me right now. Just that brings so much joy to my life.
This week seems to be going by pretty fast. It started out kind of rough especially in formation. I sometimes have the tendency to vent and Br. Dan is the one that ends up taking the punches from me when I do vent. God bless him! We also started talking about the vow of chastity, something I have looked forward to talking about. We also talked about sins. What I got out of the class was the fact that I shouldn't beat myself up if I sin, I mean I am human and I have weaknesses. I guess I just put so much pressure on myself to avoid sinning in any circumstance, but then I end up screwing up in the first place. It is mentioned in Paul's letter to the Romans that I know what I need to do and I don't do it and the things I shouldn't do I do it. The struggle with formation, the fact that every little thought is magnified in novitiate because I am not in active ministry. I will survive!
I am hoping to have a great weekend!
