Rawr-slightly discouraged today.

I love CF, really I do, but today RAWR. I'm about at my wits end trying to defend the TLM and the crazy misconceptions and people taking what I say the wrong way.

THE TLM ISN'T ALL IN LATIN. RAWR! The readings are repeated in English as well as the Homily is in English. Why do people think that you'd be so lost and the Church wouldn't want you to understand whats going on? That's just a bit silly.

Anyway, as I sit here writing this I realize its just a forum, and I'm probably too worked up, but however, I will still stand up for what I believe in.

Am I slacking or what?!

Another month goes by before I post again. It's not because I don't want to write, its merely because sometimes I preoccupied with many things going on in my life. However, my last meeting with Father Fryar inspired me. He has asked me to help/assitant teach and possibly later teach the Catechism class. This is very amazing for me because I am really in a way just beginning my Catholic journey (who knew after 2 years of studying that it would only continue).

I feel better now, I really do, about life, about myself, and most of all about my faith. I wasn't always really proud because I didn't feel like I knew enough, I still don't but I WANT to learn. I haven't had this much passion towards anything in a long time in my life, and it couldn't have happened with a better reason!

I really am in a place right now where not only am I learning more about my faith, I'm in a position where people are asking me questions....which is not only amazing to me, because I'm still learning, but it is also a teaching learning that I'm learning. By them asking me these different questions ( I had much different questions), I am not only learning more about my faith (and loving it) but exploring new areas of my faith!

This is so amazing! I am so grateful for Father Fryar, Father Jim, Brian and all my Catholic CF friends who have been supportive and helping me learn.

The new CF may not be anything close to what it used to be in a way but in another way it made me more active and that is why I am learning! So in a way I'm glad. (Although, in another way Catholics bashing other Catholics for going with the church is a bit obsecure...).

Anyway for now, I PROMISE to write more! I'm off to work some worky work stuff ;)

Peace be with you and your family!
