This year has been harder than expected at the beginning. I've dealt with my own problems, add on a parents second divorce, monetary difficulties, extremely difficult school work and a plethora of other obligations, then you get my "Year in Review." But, honestly, those things even though they were difficult, and still are, it doesn't really matter anymore. There's nothing I can do to change them only learn from them. I may sound like some happy-pappy person right now, but I like the idea of facing a new year and learning from that as well.
But so many incredible things have happened this year as well. My best friend graduated, I have the best relationship with my mentor ever, I met and made a ton of new Catholic friends who encourage me in my faith, I've been able to celebrate another year with people who love and care about me. But I have yet to mention the two most incredible things that have happened to me, I deepened my faith and I became an adult in the Catholic Church. This year was a year of growth in my faith. I do not know how it happened but it did and it has helped me so much to be grounded in something that I know will NEVER fail. Plus being accepted fully into the faith was just an amazing experience at that moment, filled with beautiful responsibility and the Holy Spirit that always travels with me.
So my friends, I am excited for this next year to come. I hope that this year to come brings you great joy, great learning, a deepened faith and beautiful experiences. I will pray for you and hope you pray for me as well.
God Bless, your faithful servant,
Marisa.
