Noticing the little things

Since starting this blog, you would have no idea how many times I run into things around campus that give the option of expression your religion. Coming from a rather diverse University, although the campus is based off of catholic values, students and faculty have come to accept the religions of many others.

While walking though one of our academic buildings on campus, I found a flier for a faith sharing program offered through Campus Ministry. Krista, I immediately thought of you. Clearly you have come to realize what your missing by being at a school were religion is hidden. I really haven't realized much of anything. While looking over the flier it read like this:

Are you searching for meaning and purpose in life? Do you have questions about your faith? What is your relationship with God? Why do we have to go to church on Sundays?

Many might find this as a helpful tool to decipher who they really are, but those people would need to be comfortable with who they are. Sure this would be a great thing to go to, but don't we all see this people to be strange, Bible reading freaks. Well I can honestly say, I wasn't at the Bible reading freakish level, but during high school I was an active member in the Youth Group. Sure I'd love to be involved in something like this, but I cant do it alone. I feel so alone while practicing my faith. Going to a school with so many other Catholics, but they all have been raised in the Catholic Church and are so overpowered with the Catholic aspect from their parent to want to continue with it. I'm not going to lie, I enjoyed going to youth group because my friends went. I went because Krista invited me. Here, I know nobody involved. I'm sure they're all really nice, but I'm just not comfortable with who I am as an individual to put myself though the life long lessons I could learn though a program like this. But I need to. I'm working on it.
