Happy New Year

"I hope this year, I get to know you better."

I didn't feel like being at prayer meeting last Saturday. I didn't feel like being at my uncle's house either. I didn't know where else to go except the Blessed Sacrament, but I had no balls to actually go there on my own. But God used Andrew for the youth split, and Andrew brought us all to the Blessed Sacrament.

What God told me: follow my heart. The problem: I don't know where my heart is. Maybe I'm like St. Augustine when he said "My heart will remain restless until it rests with [God]." A few months ago, some nuns came to the youth split and gave a talk. I thought I was being called to the sisterhood, I said I'd be open to it... maybe it's the answer I'm looking for... But I'm not ready...

"Kalimutan mo na yan. Wala na man yan, eh. Nag-e-enjoy lang tayo."
Here's a little secret: I'm in it for the chase. But why am I looking for something else?

Discernment isn't for something bad. THIS is not bad. Why is discerning so hard?
