Confirmation

On the outside, confirmation is pretty much like a graduation from CCD. No more of that little kid stuff; you are now an adult in the Catholic Church. Thirteen years of CCD and as a prize you get a cross on the forehead and a handshake from the Bishop.


On the inside, it is much more than that. It has taken years for my relationship with God to be this strong, and it is getting stronger every day. At first, I didn't want to get confirmed because I didn't really know what the point of it was. I didn't think it was important, and no one really motivated. That was, until I formed a close group in class with Theresa, Kayla, Karl, Rex, Arlene, and Eric. They are the reason I stayed in Confirmation class. I know you're supposed to do it for God, but how can you without a little push? Because they influenced me to stay in class, I developed a closer relationship to God. I read the bible almost every day, and I thank God ALL the time. Because GOD IS GOOD, ALL THE TIME; ALL THE TIME, GOD IS GOOD.

I'm really excited to recieve the Holy Spirit tomorrow. At the same time, I'm sad that I won't get to be with all the people I've known ever since I came to Holy Spirit. But hey, it's life. You move on and you separate!

Im excited to get confirmed because I'm excited to be more involved with the church. Hopefully by next month, I'll be a lector for the Thursday mass! The elders need to retire anyway, and Father Tim LOVES it when younger people step up and get involved. Maybe I'll even become a CCD teacher for younger kids in the future. Who knows? THE FUTURE IS BRIGHT WITH JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT BY MY SIDE :D

History is a bridge connecting the past with the present and pointing the road to the future.

Jesus, Take the wheel

She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy
With the baby in the backseat

Fifty miles to go and she was running low
On faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
She was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning
On a thin black sheet of glass

She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was so scared
She threw her hands up in the air

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
?Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel

It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat
Sleeping like a rock

And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life

I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight

Jesus, take the wheel
Take it from my hands
?Cause I can't do this on my own

I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
To save me from this road I'm on

Oh Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, I'm letting go

So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus, take the wheel
Oh, take it, take it from me
Oh, why, ooh

This song really touched me. It reminded me of my mom and how I want her to let Jesus take the wheel of the road she's on. She's always so stressed and I wou;d rather suffer than to see her going through this daily. She does SO much for my family and we don't give her enough credit; especially me. The song made me cry and made me think about how I could change the way I live. I am going to try to be less selfish and try to be there for my mom. I have to let her know that she is not alone and I will help her.
