I actually felt like I BELONGED like I still BELONG. That word means sooo much more to me know.  I go because I NEED GS.

That is amesome. I don't think I could have put it better. I'm a GSer and I love it, and I'm sad that I won't have that next year ot college. In all honesty GS is one of the few places I really feel as if I Belong. School is eh... and owrk it eh.. and other work is eh... but GS, at GS I'm totally there. I love walking up those stairs and knowing when I enter that room that I am going to see people who honestly care about me and who I honestly care about. I love GS. ^_^

I think that you are a GREAT person. Your thoughts are very...intriging(sp?) Your questions are prokoving and I thank you for them. When I am bored in class I think back to your posts and you questions. Your questions help me get though a class sometimes. I LOVE to think and I really have a hard time stopping, so it's amesome that you give me such wonderful, plesant things to think about. I loved the why do you come why do you stay, not only because they were good questions , but because I had very good reason to think about GS and when I think about GS I get an overwheling feeling of Christ's presence.

So what do you think about me? From what I've shared (although it mightn't be much)

sallycat, you just made my day!! it makes me smile to know that throughout your day you think of some of the things i've said or asked....KEEP THINKING, KEEP QUESTIONING, KEEP LOOKING, KEEP SEEKING GOD!!!! never be content with where you're at, never be content with the answers you receive especially if they are crappy answers....DESIRE MORE!!!

i loved coming back and reading what you posted...to know that we were so far away and you thought about us...that is BELONGING...

i look forward to you asking more questions...although scary, i look forward to you asking them...when you ask questions you not only stretch yourself but you stretch those you ask the questions to if you konw what i mean...so, do you come on sunday nights to Brandi's youth group??? i was there two weeks ago and you weren't there!! i'm sure i will be there again soon too..if Brandi wants my help...i'm a little crazy though...but i love to help others, love others, i love to share the Love of Christ with others, i love to show people in creative ways they are special...and i thank God for the heart he has given me in wanting to love....

Yeah, I was there on Sunday...that was the first time i had ever went. I think I liked it. Man those kids are a crazy crew! I am a little nervous when it comes to new things. I think I want to go back, but before I go back I want to make sure that the people want me to go back, well not necessarily want to to be there, but I want'em to be ok with my being there. I kno am a weird kid. i just always need a sense of securioty and when i try new things it is hard to have that security.

Oh and after HYRG I went to G.D. Ritzy's with the peeps. I was going a little too fast and the roads were a little too icy out. I hit a pole, but it was ok cuz it as one of those wooden fence pools. I was stilled scared to death, but luckily no damage to my car. How the no damage thing happened I can only say it was a work or God!

My Father Sings to me is my favorite song too. I really don't remember how You goes though. Last week for one of the songs Brandi wanted to sing you, but we wanted to sing My Father Sing To Me. Well it was sorta split down the middle and i was sitting closest to Brandi and I do believe i was persistant, We sang my Father Sings to Me ...I think i wrote in this thread that that song was the first song that I heard and it touched me. I LOVE singing!!! I am sure we will sing You tomorrow well at least I hope we do.

i hope we sing both of them!!! and as far as the youth group goes...Please come, i will be there if you promise to be...i understand about the sense of security..but i want you to be there, Brandi i'm sure wants you to be there....and i'm sure you want to be there.....SO COME!!!!! :D .....

music speaks to my very heart....i love to listen...unfortunately God did not give me the gift to sing...i do love singing but i don't in front of people....i'm afraid they will laugh at me...or think "man, i wish she would stop singing"...but there are moments that God speaks to me through music that i cannot help but sing and sometimes(mostly when i'm by myself but there were times this weekend on the ride up and the ride back) that i just cried....music moves me...

Diaconia was amazing. I have only one word to describe it.... Oy.

As Mike said on Monday morning, there's nothing like spending a weekend with Jesus and 300 of His scandelous friends!!

From start to beginning the weekend was amazing. An Encounter, in the best way possible. A lot of stuff that I still have to absorb, so much that was provoking, that made me question, that made me ASK!! But, it's amazing how God always answers my begging. Not always as I want, but as He wants. Diaconia was an answer to my begging, to my desire. This movement, these friends are an answer to my begging. Moments that struck me...

The encounter with the Cake was a very memorable moment. DM, you'll have to tell about that... in your freedom, of course. Guissani's video was amazing, and I would encourage anyone who is interested in CL to read the notes from that video. It was a video of Guissani's visit to New York in 1986. It was amazing. He is an amazing man.

My favorite part of the weekend, though, was Sunday night when all the CLU kids went to the bar down the street from the hotel, and sat together and sang songs at the top of our lungs for like 2 hours. I was happy. I belonged.

I hope this makes sense to everyone, and I look forward to continuing this school of community here on Phatmass!!

God Bless!

This Sunday I have Snowflake from 7 to 8. Snowflake is a overnite retreat for 7th and 8th graders focused on staying substance free. Sunday is like one of the formation meetings and I am a committee chair. Maybe I can go to HYRG for the first 45 min go to snowflake at St. Ben's and try to leave early so I can make it back for soul writing.

Yes, I LOVE music. I always thought that I could sing, but my friends told me different. So I became discouraged and was afraid to sing. I love singing as GS because they don't judge me and two really good singers told me that I could sing so that made me truely happy. And I figure Jesus doesn't care how you sound.
