The title of this post is slightly misleading. It sounds like I'm going to be posting about something relationship related or medical-y, but I got tired of posting about John (though I love him) and there's nothing all that exciting going on with me medically at the moment.
The real reason I'm writing this post is because last Saturday I went to confession. It had been a good month and a half. :/ But anyway. I came to a shocking realization that I AM NOT PERFECT. Just kidding, I definitely knew that before. But confession is something that I have always thought of as my favorite Sacrament (after Communion) and one that I needed desperately. So, there I was. In a gorgeous church, ready to confess my sins. It's always a humbling experience knowing that Christ came to save me, and yet I don't always have Him first on my priority list. It's something that I think a lot of people are guilty of. It's hard to admit that your priorities aren't in order, but to fix it we have to admit it. I always say "I'm going to be perfect and never sin again!" YEAH RIGHT. I mean, we have to be realistic. It's a fantastic goal - trying not to sin. But we will never be perfect. For me, it's generally the same things that get in my way, and that's normal. Breaking habits is hard, and it takes patience. It's hard for me knowing that I've let not only people down, but Christ the Savior down as well. It's all the more reason to strive to be holy.
So that's my goal leading up to Thanksgiving/Christmas. I want to work harder. I think it's something that we can all improve. Then someday we will go to Heaven and be with Christ eternally. But the waiting is the hardest part.
Have a great rest of the week! God bless and keep you!
