*red face*

Oh golly guys. So I've known this for years, but today it hit me once again. I'm such an embarrassing person. Like, for real though. I have awkward moments at the wrong times all the time. I can count TONS of times when this has happened. Why am I bringing this up now? This is why:

So on Monday nights at my school, Campus Ministry puts on "Supper and Scripture" where we all eat a meal together and talk about the readings for Mass the next weekend. It's a great time and all. Someone reads the passage, and we all annotate it or talk about what we understand from it. I usually do pretty well when I have thoughts, but tonight was not one of those nights.

We got the 2nd reading from 1st Corinthians 3:9c-11, 16-17. It's all about respecting your temple from God and raising it up and such. I loved it. So I was thinking we were the temples, so then I chose to speak up (bad idea). I had every intention to say stuff like "We have to respect our bodies and not say things that God would want us to say, and act how God wants us to act" But once I started, I got nervous and lost my train of thought and said stupid things like "We have to be pure and purity and yeah...You all know what I'm talking about..." ----Like, WHAT?! People all started laughing and thought it was funny, which made me laugh and get even more nervous and then I couldn't stop talking, and I lost my train of thought, so all I could say was stupid things like that. LIKE, NO. I DID NOT MEAN TO SAY NO SEX. So then I got red and stuff then just gave up. Oh, to make it worse? I'm a FRESHMAN in a room full of UPPER CLASSMEN and PRIESTS.

I'm so embarrassing.

That's all I got for the night. If you needed a little chuckle, you're welcome.

*face palm*

Love, Mary

The Ultimate Gift

If any of you know me, you know that I am not afraid to say what I want to say, even if it is controversial. I believe in free speech, and take that into full consideration, for myself and others. Going off of that, I want to talk about one specific controversial topic: SEX! Good. Now that I have your attention, you should know this whole post isn't going to be about sex. Actually, it really won't be about sex at all. It's about the decisions we as people make to do with it. Lately, I've noticed a higher rise in the idea of sex. An act of love between a married man and woman has been conformed into something completely different than it's original meaning. Something fifty years ago that would never be talked about, has now become part of daily conversation. But why? Why did this beautiful gift God intended for a married couple become so mainstream? To be honest, I'm not really sure. In my eyes, it's sad to think that people are being exposed ...

Spiritual Numbness

You know that feeling you get when you don't feel right? Like, you're just, off. Almost like you don't have an opinion about much and nothing really seems that great to you. You aren't mad, you aren't sad, and you aren't happy. You're just numb. You know that feeling, right? As the semester comes to an end, I reflect back on these last few months and I can say I've become an expert of this numb feeling. If you don't know already, I am a Resident Assistant for freshmen girls, and I live alone for the first time in my life (gasp). Being that all of my friends are off campus or living with other roommates, there isn't much time I get to spend with these people in my life. Working part time, attending class full time, and the giving of myself to 33 beautiful 18 and 19 year old girls is exhausting. Incredibly rewarding, but so exhausting. Before this year, I was involved with everything and anything. However, this year, I've reached my limit o...

Adulthood and New Transitions

I've been a little MIA lately but since we've last talked, a lot has happened! Between graduation, meeting Noah, moving twice, and finding a job, I feel like I've been thrown all over the place going 100 miles an hour. Between all of the crazy and beautiful life events, I've finally realized that I've been putting my relationship with Christ on the back burner since the beginning of my senior year. I still go to Mass every weekend, visit the sacraments regularly, pray every now and then, but these things haven't been as intentional as they were a year ago. I think the main reason for this is the distractions and great new life events going on. I never chose to not be intentional but I simply forgot HOW to be intentional. Lately, I think God's been like "Hey Mary, it's me. God. Remember me? Remember how close we were? Wasn't that great? Wanna do that again?" As casual as that sounds, lately, I've really felt God push on my heart and ...
