Day 6: where's the LIFE in lifeteen?

I definately see the TEEN in lifeteen. If you ask me what a teen is I would respond as ignorant, immature, and selfish. & Oh man, do I see the TEEN in lifeteen. I'm not hating or anything, but it's sad to see that people are not seeing the life, GOD, when they come to lifenights. Today was the absolute last day to turn in retreat forms. I was pretty bummed out to hear that many of the usuals who go on retreats are not attending this one. All mainly because of the same reason. Two words: new people.

I think that maybe these people should consider that they won't be going to the retreat to get closer with these new people, but get closer with God. And HELLO, it is my last retreat as a participant. It really sucks that Junior won't be going, it sucks even more that many of the ones I wanted to go to this retreat with are not going.

Still this retreat will be awesome. I can feel it. Though it's only been a month since I been on a retreat, I miss that spiritual high when you come back from one. I just wish I could feel that high with them old people. Though the new ones are cool too.

Well today I went to confirmation. Still thinking if I should quit or not. Actually Landon doesn't like to describe it as quitting, instead the better word would be transferring to RCIA for confirmation. But today's class was really different. I feel that we actually got somewhere in learning about our faith. Usually we'd just waste time talking about recipes and stuff. I learned more today than I did the past few weeks of confirmation.

I really don't know what God wants for me. I've prayed about this, but I haven't really listened. Like what Landon reminded me today: God gave us two ears and one mouth for a reason. Use your ears two times more than your mouth. So I'm gonna shuttup. I think I talk a bit too much.

I've been procratinating this weekend. Dawn patrol screwed me up. Kinda lacking on my sleep and I haven't had time to do my work. So I better get off blogger and start on my trig work.

Day 6 - Sirach 2:1-6 "My child, if you are going to serve the Lord, be prepared for times when you will be put to the test. Be sincere and determined. Keep calm when trouble comes. Stay with the Lord; never abandon him and you will be prosperous at the end of your days. Accept whatever happens to you. Even if you suffer humiliation, be patient. God is tested by fire, and human character is tested by the furnace of humiliation. Trust the Lord and he will help you. Walk straight in his ways and put your hope in him."
