"Beauty isnt about looking like everyone else, Beauty are the things that make us different from everyone else..."
Today was the beatification of Mother Teresa, how exciting it wouldve been to sitting in at mass. Im sure Tita linda will have lots of stories to shurr w/us when she comes back from her trip. I would love to go to italy, take rides in the gondolier, visit the sistine chapel, see the arts of michaelangelo and most of all dun dun dun see the vatican yay! The only thing that i would have a hard time doing is sitting in the plane on the way over durr and on the way back. As most of you already know i can sometimes have a difficult time sitting still and always gotta be moving around doing something. haha Anyway, that would be cool juss going durr and visiting all those historic sites.
If there is anyone who lives out to serving to others and seeing Jesus in each person it has to be her. For it was her who said, "love until it hurts." Which will lead me to my next point, im going to shurr w/you this story and tell me wha you got out of it...
THE MISSING RIB
A girl in love asked her boyfriend..
Girl (g): Tell me... who do you love most in this world?
Boy (b): You, of course!
(g): In your heart, what am I to you?
(b): The boy thought for a moment and looked intently in her eyes and
said, "You are my rib. In the Bible, it was said that God saw that
Adam was lonely, during his sleep; God took one of Adam's rib and created
Eve. Every man has been searching for his missing rib, only when you find
the woman of your life; you'll no longer feel the lingering ache in your
heart."
After their wedding, the couple had a sweet and happy life for a while.
However, the youthful couple began to drift apart due to the busy
schedule of life and the never-ending worries of daily problems...
their life became mundane....
All the challenges posed by the harsh realities of life began to gnaw
away their dreams and love for each other...The couple began to have
more quarrels and each quarrel became more heated..
One day, after the quarrel, the girl ran out of the house... At the
opposite side of the road, she shouted, "You don't love me!"
The boy hated her childishness and out of impulse, retorted,
"Maybe, it was a mistake for us to be together! You were never
my missing rib!"
Suddenly, she turned quiet and stood there for a long while...He
regretted what he said but words spoken are like thrown away water,
you can never take it back. With tears, she went home to pack
her things and was determined in breaking-up.
Before she left the house, "If I'm really not your missing rib, please
let me go...She continued, "It is less painful this way... let us
go on our separate ways and search for our own partners..."
Five years went by....
He never remarried but he had tried to find out about her life
indirectly...She had left the country and back... She had married
a foreigner and divorced...He felt anguished that she never waited
for him.
In the dark and lonely night, he lit his cigarette and felt the
lingering ache in his heart. He couldn't bring himself to admit that
he was missing her..
One day, they finally met... At the airport, a place where there were
many reunions and good-byes...He was going away on a business trip.
She was standing there alone, with just the security door separating them.
She smiled at him gently.
(b): How are you?
(g): I'm fine. How about you..Have you found your missing rib?
(b): No.
(g): I'll be flying to New York in the next flight.
(b): I'll be back in 2 weeks time. Give me a call when you are back...
You know my number... Nothing has changed.
With a smile, she turned around and waved good-bye..
Good-bye.....
One week later, he heard of her death. She had perished in New York.
In the event that shocked the world..
Midnight... Once again, he lit his cigarette... And like before,
he felt the lingering ache in his heart....He finally knew, she was the
missing rib that he had carelessly broken...
I was watching this movie tonite called, 'beautiful girl' on the abc family channel. The whole theme of the movie was beauty isnt bout looking the same way. Beauty is setting trends and being able to be different. The movie was about this girl who was id say late 20's early 30's. Well ill admit she wasnt who we would picture the 'hottest' or even the 'cutest.' In fact she was a bit heavy set, she entered this beauty pageant to try and win a trip to hawaii for her and her fiances honeymoon. Her fiance who was played by kelly rippa(from regis and kelly). I thought that it was coo how they portrayed the girls fiances to be somoene who wed never expect.
Thas the thing now a days the media portrays people that they have to look or act a certain way in order to fit in. Now a days its hard for people esp. the youf to be their own idenity. Thas why i like working w/the youf, cuz they are the future generation. To let them know God doesnt look for style or trends, all He looks for is whas inside your heart. So back to the show the girl ended up being runner up in the pageant which she was cool with. She realized she put her best out there and thas wha counts. Good stuff!
Had some pretty interesting conversations w/some people today. I talked to toni this morning after mass, i think shes one of those 'ill talk you later people.' The ones who say, 'let me call you back later' yet really mean 'let me juss talk to you later.' haha Found out Gail is now head servant leader of the youf in Lf. We had a heated discussion bout our communities. She asked for my advice yet didnt like wha i said. hahaha jk no that didnt happen, we were more less discussing and passing along advice i guess. Pray for their community, and their core team. Finally talked to arch today, i havent talked him in forever since well the cafe. Apparently errtime he tries to return my calls he gets my vmail.
So the mejia administration is now complete. I can only pray that these newly elected members into the administration will only bring good fruits. Im trusting that they were all chosen there for a specific reason. I pray that the new members will help lead servant's heart in the right direction for the better building of God's kingdom here on earth. We will see what God has in store for the administration this year. I know there will be ups and downs but hey as long we have God on our side we will get through them. Juss gotta remember what our focus is and that errthang takes one step and a time.
Went to sPv for confession tonite, and well the line was forever long! It was fr. grace and i know how he can talk a while cuz he likes to counsel. Well being i know how sPv cofession policies are that once mass starts they quit confessions. So i saw fr. paul walk into the sacristy and i went over and took the chance to see if hed listen to my confession. Praise GOd he did so i didnt have to wait in the long line. Fr. Paul is one of those priests who really listen to the people and is there for them. He told me feels bad if he says no cuz its like saying 'buzz off.'
YOu know whas always hard? Is being able to adjust to changes, i think most people find that hard. Especially when youre comfortable w/the way things are and how GOd seems to throw that stick into the mix to stir things up. Ahh yes changes are in the air and let me tell ya its one thing im having a hard time adjusting to. It can be even more difficult when you may not totally agree on all of them. I guess its kinda like when the pres. canidate you want to win looses. When the opposite political party looses. So then you gotta deal with the whole change in policies, changes in errthang. Though some times changes are for the good and some are for the bad. Basic point juss pray for me that i can quickly adjust to the changes and be coo with it. I think adjusting ot changes is one of my weak points, esp. when im not feelin' them.
Ever since i changed my cell phone plan to the new '7 for 7' plan i cant text message! Errtime i tried to text message it would say 'no system for messages.' Booo! which sucks cuz text messaging is good when yu dont feel like calling the person up. haha Though it can suck also cuz your fingers start to hurt after pressing all the keys to make the words. I gave toni guilt card for not coming to the anniversary. YFc is going to support yfc sdsu at their meeting this tues. I spoke to jay da banker tonite for a bit, he told me he's seeing this one girl. He was like she's really into church, which is always good. On top of that theyre bof the same religon so i guess thas double points. Shes cute too, which makes triple points.
Christy informed me this week, is a triple header birfday week. With Raymond's starting on tues., gail's on wed. and with anthony's ending on thurs. Gail is gonna have wha they called a 'gaybu' i think a celebration of combo of all 3 birfdays. haha THas funny a 'gaybu' Like a debut but a party with gail's name in it instead! I was thinking today each yurr i make new friends, well if i become close friends them thas like an extra person to add to my christmas list. OH you know i was watching road rules/real world challenge and well tmatt the bible geek was on durr. Anyway i thought it was d0pe how right before competition he made the sign of the cross. Thas coo how he isnt ashamed of being who he is, even if on tv. Well thas all from me today, i need a blog face lift. Errone else in SH has seemed to done some 'blog face lifts.' Though i kinda like mine cuz its OG ya feel me! Check out the new link updates!
Please keep the people who have asked me to pray for them in your prayers!
The fruit of silence is PRAYER.
The fruit of prayer is FAITH.
The fruit of faith is LOVE.
The fruit of love is SERVICE.
The fruit of service is PEACE.
-Blessed Teresa of Calcutta
"Feel the beat of the drum, gotta get with that bass..."im done, im out God bless!
