Just a blab…

I honestly love being Catholic and being involved at my church and being able to help out teens. It makes me feel like I’m not useless in the world. One thing I’ve always stuck to though was being real and straight up with anyone that crosses my path because, well what’s the point of being fake? If it wasn’t for the struggles I’ve been through and things I’ve seen and sins I’ve committed I wouldn’t be able to relate to the teens who have also been through things I have. I’m not saying that I chose to do the things on purpose, but because I wanted to and because I’m a human and I was made to fall and make bad choices. I am no one to point fingers and tell others not to do certain things because it isn’t my job and it isn’t what Jesus wanted us to do. If I was 16, the last thing I want to do is go around people from church and have them tell me that I shouldn’t do this or I shouldn’t do that, that’s what parents are for. The teens at my church are drawn towards the church and the people because we all have one thing in common(well most of us) and that’s the we know God loves us and his love is never ending. Ultimately it should be about sharing and spreading the love of God and letting others know that hey you are loved! I’m sick and tired of all the judgement and the pointing of fingers going on, this is exactly the type of acts that push people away from church not “bringing teens closer to christ”. I’m almost positive that Fr. Dale Fushek and Tom Booth didn’t create this whole movement of Life Teen so we can all point fingers and tell others what they are doing wrong! I stick around because if I’m gonna be the one to keep it real and spread the real message about God, then I’ll continue to do so because there is going to be more and more teens who need to look up to someone real. The end. Amen.
