I wanted the title to be fun (that seemed fun :-). Hello to all and welcome to what I hope becomes a wonderful place for the core and teens to share thoughts, insights, experiences, prayers, and any other God glorifying tidbits you'd like to express in writing.
As a new core member I am so eager to get to know both the core team members as well as the teens, better. Unfortunately for me, I'm a mom of three small children and my primary vocation is to them and to my husband. What does this mean? Well, it means that I can realistically only commit to one Life Teen mass per month. Once a month is not going to give me the time, or face to face interaction I'll need, to bond (for lack of a better term) with the rest of the core and with the teens, in a way in which I'd like to. HOWEVER, during mass last night I (when I say "I" I really mean "God") came up with the idea for me to communicate with all of you via the internet. God knows I'm a fb junky, AND that I already have a blog about my cooky/crazy life, so He blessed me with the idea of creating a core/teen blog. God is SO GOOD!
How is this all going to work you ask? Well, this is my thought: I'm going to be posting any and all thoughts, stories, personal witnesses, insights etc. involving God, St. Mary's, Jesus, Mary, The Holy Spirit, the teens, the core etc. (you get the picture) that pop into my head, and I invite anyone and everyone to not only make comments on my posts, but to email me your own writings, that you would also like to have posted on the blog. I'll review what you've sent me, and then post it on the blog. The reason that I would like to review your posts before posting them are two reasons 1. They might be too personal and would not be appropriate for the whole world to have access to (remember anyone from anywhere can read a blog), and 2. If there is any mention of you or someone you know that is in danger of hurting themselves or another person, I would have to let Jason, Father Kelly or Father Bill know. Other than that, write away and don't be afraid to share your faith! If you feel as though God wants you to post something on this blog, then He probably does :-).
Sometimes it's easier for people to express themselves in writing rather than face to face. It is my hope that this blog will give people a place where they can shine, to allow the Holy Spirit to work through them, and be a brilliant light for the rest of the world to see.
I'm so looking forward to not only writing, but also learning and growing in faith with the help of each and every one of you! Much blessings, Colleen
