I'm in Love

Today is October 2, 2013.  On October 31, 2014, I will turn the ripe age of 30. 

For someone who has only been graced 30 years thus far, the Lord surely has given me quite the adventure of a lifetime!  I keep reminding myself that there is so much more to do, but I have many things I'd like to do before I turn 30.  Some of those things are typical, like skydiving, going on a decent date, traveling to all 50 states (I only have four left. C'mon!).

Some of them are atypical for women my age.  I'd rather not have a one-night stand.  I want to speak to thousands of people about my life with Christ.  I want to attend Divine Liturgy once and understand the differences between the Eastern Catholic and Western Catholic Churches. I want to go on a date with a future Saint.  I want to love, truly give of myself, not just romantically (yeah, that'd be nice, but it's not the end-all), but I want to love my family, friends, roommates, coworkers, parishioners, and most importantly my God more selflessly.  I want to better perfect my virtue.  I want the world to know who Christ is through me, not just through my words.  So, here's to a 13 month adventure through this blog. 

"I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly." 
- John 10:10b

Who's with me?
