"Everyday at communion time, i communicate two of my feelings to Jesus. One is gratefulness, because he has helped me to persevere until today. The other is a request: teach me to pray..."

I was disturbed today at work as i was chillin w/some of the kids at the new center. So we were talking and they were telling me about this one girl they know. She's only 12 and has already lost her virginity. Wow how sad is that. The girls bf is in jail for violating his probation, the guys 18. So they were telling me that you know they didnt want to make the same mistake she did. How she was stupid and shes probably gonna end up dropping out of skool. I told them that they were smart to think like that and they should learn from that girl's mistakes.

So i thought well thas good they see this fmro their peers and are turned off by it. Hopefully this will inspire them to do well in skool and make the right decisions. Then i was thinking thas why the youf are so messed up now a days cuz all they think bout is pleasuring their bodies. Their minds are so filterd by the things they see and hurr on tv,music, etc. Im sure it doesnt help that the parents dont take responsibility for their children. Ahh So that why we continually ask for the intercession of our blessed mother to keep them chaste and safe.

Which brings me to i guess my thoughts on relationships. That seems to be the topic of errone's blog this week. YOu know back in wha october it was i had big lesson on love & relationships w/my class. We talked bout the different type of relationships, and what to look for in a particular person. Though the only i do regret is not focusing on the 'religous' vocation aspect on love. Oh well something to cover more into detail next year.

Although i myself have never been in relationship before, ive taken notice on friends who have various types of relationships. Hurr let me describe some of the different types...

The 'envious' couple-The couple who tries hurdd to match thurr relationship to another couples. For example, you have a couple A, and this is the couple that errone thinks is perfect for each other. People see them and they're like aww they have the best relationship, i bet! So couple B, being a little envious tries to match thurr relationship juss like it.

The Bickersons-Meet the bickersons, the quibble over errthang down to wha size movie popcurrn to get. ERrtime you get together w/this couple all you see them do is argue, argue, argue, great!

Romeo & Juliet...10 yurrs later-This is the couple that errone voted in HS most likely to get murried. And yes that they did! This is the couple who know has kids, and yet errtime you go thurr house its a freakin mess! Dirty dishes in the sink and then worse of all they got major PDA issues! Theyre juss all ova each other like peanut butter on toast!

The Partiers-This is the type of couple who loves to spend $$. They cant stand juss sitting still for nothing! They love to go out and drink, dance, whatever as long as the nite doesnt consist in staying at home. You can cross out not asking them to come over for dinner and a movie.

The typical TV show sitcom-Yes those are the couples that are always portrayed on TV. Like roseanne, married w/children etc. He works and pays the bills, she's the homemaker do nothing at home all day. Cooks, cleans etc.

To me, one couldve had a bf or gf and yet still be unexperienced. So i disagree w/robbys def. of never having a bf or gf. Ive seen unexperienced couples who were too independent, they had that umm i think whas called the 'H's frame relationship. Too far apart from each other. You gotta think too, a person who's had a bf/gf can be "labeled" as "inexperienced" if theyve never reached a certain stage of intimacy.

For example, thurr could be a couple who has had previous relationships in the past. Lets say theyve been together for quite sometime, but yet has never kissed passionately or made out etc. For this reason their relationships is about bringing each other to holiness. Does this label them as unexperienced?

In the end, i think its juss what errones definition of what 'experienced' and 'inexperienced' is. Errone is going ot have a whole different aspect and opinion on what the word means. Its like one of those things, that you cant have a definite definition for. One of those things whurr it cant be juss black or white.

One thing bout relationships ive learned is that its growing process. Its about learning from each other and complimenting each other. Bringing something into that relatioships. If one person is doing all the work its not going to work obviously. Myself, i wouldnt want someone whos been in tons of different relationships and wants to rush right into errthang. Id much rather perfer someone who wants to walk that road together hand in hand. The same way a mom walks w/her child through the market.

I mean gosh ive heard bout relationships like bio girl who's juss soo dependent on her bf. While her bf wraps her around his finger and treats her as a slave. Then we have this other friend of mine who was recently seeing this guy for a bit. When the girl told her she's always wanted to look into the religous vocation, he got all emo and pshyco on her saying she cant leave him etc. Wow thas crazy! Then ive known a couple whos foundation was Christ, yet i guess they took the wrong turn some whurr and it turned into lust.

Whatever vocation God chooses for you, i pray that you will embrace it and love it to the fullest!


Happy Birfday Pope John Paul II!!!
