I was just reflecting on where I was a year ago! Things sure have changed - mostly for the good. To start off -- I saw how the mistakes I made really had an affect on important people in my life! We went though a process of finding ourselves which included 10 months of not speaking to each other.
This was how I felt at the beginning:
This is how I started feeling after getting to know the wonderful and inspirational people from work (at University Outfitters who by the way all happened to be Catholic), RCIA, and choir. After talking and spending time with my friend (Ruth) I learned a few things and got some awesome advice.
One of the best things to happen for me was making the choice to join Queen of Peace (things just kept falling into place for me and I felt that I belonged there).
I realized I wanted/needed to change my ways to live close to Jesus and really appreciate what I have/had.My experience of being around friends who really cared about my soul (as in the song) who are genuine, good people, strong in the Catholic faith was and is very uplifting. I know I'm not on this journey in life alone!
I'm thankful for all my wonderful family and friends - those from the Philly and those from Church! You truly never know what blessings God has given you until it's gone and I'm thankful for the gift of friendship I was able to receive again. I'm also sorry for the mistakes I made that hurt that one person I care about
