Lent

This year I decided to give up on my current hobby of drinking coffee. I think I probably drink coffee far too much and it would be a good,though slightly hard, much needed change.

I think that God is pleased at where I am right now. I know that I still have a lot to learn about myself and my faith. However, I know that the first step in order to achieve holiness is to remember how much you have to learn.

I think that modesty would be something that I would be "graded" on. I think that modesty is very important especially if you are taking more difficult classes. I try to show modesty and compassion to everyone. I believe that that sort of belief will help me far more in later life then just getting good grades. I am not saying that grades are not important. What I am saying is that I do not think it should be the primary focus in anyone's life. God should come first, then your friends, and finally yourself. I find it extremely annoying when people try to compare me with others. I think that some types of competitions are unnecessary and redundant. People should focus more on bettering themselves, both intellectually and spiritually, and stop comparing themselves to others. The only thing that really matters in the end is how we have treated each other and what we have given back to humanity. Okay, now I will get off my soap box.......
