About This Blog
This blog was inspired after I read Timothy 4:12. The verse reads, “Let no one despise your youth, but set the believers an example in speech and conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.” After reading this, I realized that as a Catholic, I was not setting a good example. Yes, I went to Church regularly. Yes, I have always believed in God, that Christ died for my sins and because of His sacrifice and my acceptance of it, I would go to Heaven. However, my day to day life was anything but God-centered. I had become too much attached to this world, forgetting that I should have been focused on Christ. Instead, I had become focused on what the secular world told me what was right, what was “in”. I listened to what music everybody else thought was cool, which was mostly Top 40 and was self-centered, not realizing how blessed I really was. I now want to live for Jesus every day. I realize that I, along with you, are called by God to live as an example of Christ in ALL aspects of our lives — not just in Church or around Christians. We are to be an example of Christ everywhere. What we read, watch, listen to, think, the way we love others are all supposed to lead back to one person: Christ. I hope and pray that this blog gives you, a young Christian, the resources and information you need live a Christ-like example, “in speech and conduct, in love, in faith and in purity.”

Hey! This is kind of problem for me too - to rely on God´s timing and plan than on mine. It always makes me feel upset at first.. We always expect something from God, if we behave well, we often expect a "reward" - but it can´t work like that. we think our opinion is good, but what really matters is God´s plan..it´s hard, I need to learn to be patient too!

Hi Pavla! *waves*
Patience.. what a hard virtue to come by. Even in wanting to know God's plan for our lives now are we being impatient. When will we humans ever learn? :P
