Okay, I think it's time to make my feelings on this issue known. I have held my tongue for a few years now, but I'm done. I think people assume that it doesn't bother me when they make comments or criticize me, or judge me. But let me say this: it does. What am I speaking about, you may ask. Well, I'll tell you.
Yes, I did go to college. For 4 years. Yes, I do have lots of school loans from going to college for those four years. Yes, I did learn a lot while I was in college. No. I don't have a college degree. Does that somehow make you better than me? Does that somehow make me inferior to you? Does that somehow give you the right to make fun of me and judge me? I wouldn't think so, but apparently it does.
There are many things that contributed to me not having a college degree. And perhaps instead of making fun of me, or judging me, you should ask me about those things. I am not trying to make excuses for why I don't have a degree or why I have $30,000+ in school loans and no degree, but I think it is only the polite thing to do to ask instead of judging.
Yes, I do have plans to go back and finish my degree. Yes, I do have a job right now that doesn't pay me hardly anything. No, I don't own a car, my own house or apartment. Yes, I do think those things are important, but do I think they are the be all, end all of life? NO!
While we are talking about the be all end all of things...do I think a degree is the be all end all of life? NO! Having a degree doesn't say anything about who I am as a person. It doesn't measure my intelligence, it doesn't measure my ability to care for others, and it certainly doesn't make you better than me.
This is just some food for thought for the people who may have been among the people that have done this. Just think about how the things you say about a person can effect their self esteem and their feelings of self worth.
A quote I read the other day that I think seems appropriate here: "Don't judge her. You don't know what storms I've asked her to walk through."

Why A Daughter Needs A Dad
I stumbled upon this today when I was reading through some old messages between a friend and I. This is all so true! Thank you to the men in my life that have been amazing fathers and father-figures to me. You have loved me when it was hardest.
Why A Daughter Needs A Dad;
to learn that when he says it will be okay soon, it will.
who will make sacrifices so she will not have to sacrifice.
to teach her that her value as a person is more than the way she looks.
who will laugh at her at the right times.
who will always have time to give her hugs and kisses.
who does not mind when she steps on his shoes while dancing.
who will always make sure she has a place to come home to.
who will never think she is too old to need him.
to make the family whole and complete.
who will not punish her for her mistakes, but help her learn from them.
to teach her to believe that she deserves to be treated well.
to teach her to accept the differences in others.
to teach her to weigh the consequences of her actions and make decisions accordingly.
so she will know what it is like to be somebody's favorite.
to tell her truthfully that she is the most beautiful of all.
to protect her from scary nighttime creatures.
to answer the questions that keep her awake at night.
to make the complex simple and the painful bearable.
to protect her from thunder and lightning.
to teach her that family is more important than work.
to be the safe spot she can always turn to.
to show her how it feels to be loved unselfishly.
to be the standard against which she will judge all men.
who will influence her life, even when he isn't with her.
to tell her that all is not hopeless, even when she feels it is.
to join her journey when she is too afraid to walk alone.
to make the tough decisions for her until she is able to make them for herself.
so that she will have at least one hero who will not let her down.
to tuck her in at night.
to help her take risks that will build her confidence.
who will let her know that while she may not be the center of someone else's world,
she is the center of his.
to learn what she should expect from her husband.
to teach her what it means to always be there.
to teach her that a man's strength is not the force of his hand or his voice,
but the kindness of his heart.
to teach her to be honest in all her dealings.
to help her try again whenever she fails.
to remind her of what she may not remember.
so that when no one else is there for her, she can close her eyes and see him.
to think highly of her when no one else will.
to hold her as she cries.
to carry her just because she wants to be carried.
who teaches her she is important by stopping what he is doing to watch her.
to remind her of the comfort of being held near and feeling secure.
to teach her to stand up for herself.
who gives her refuge in a home secured with faith.
to show her that true love is unconditional.
to teach her not to let pride get in the way of discovering new things.
to show her all the boys are not like the one who hurt her.
to stand with her on the day she marries the man she hopes will be just like her father.
because without him she will have less in her life than what she deserves.

Regret-Moving On
Regret.
We all have it. Whether we choose to acknowledge it or not, we do. There are many a things we can regret in life. Personally for me, I regret decisions I have made. Or choices I have made. I never knew how much my heart would ache for a baby, until I was told I couldn't have one. I never knew how much I would regret something I did when I was a teenager. I never knew how much I would regret even simple things that I could have done differently.
There are so many things in my life that I think about and say to myself, "If only I could have that moment back. I would make a different choice. I would have responded differently. I would have thought more about the long term outcome, instead of what felt good at that moment." There are a million other thoughts that go through my head, but those are the main ones, and often the biggest lies from the deceiver. Satan wants me to believe that all the things I regret are things that make me a bad person, or make me unlovable. He is really good at that.
This past weekend I went back to BG for two of my closest friend's wedding. Brittany and Andrew were married this past Saturday. It was so great to be back and get to spend the weekend with some of the people that I have shared the last four years of my life with. It was wonderful to laugh with them and joke around, and even cry with them..hey, who doesn't cry at a wedding? But at the same time, it was equally hard to be challenged by them in the hard things in life. Some of my best and closest friends are in BG and they are most often the people I go to when I need someone to ask me the tough questions.
I am realizing that while regret is something that I will always have in my life, I also need to not let Satan trick me into believing that I can't overcome that regret, and move past by bad decisions and become better than the mistakes that I've made. I realize that the only reason that I can't be better than my past and my regrets is if I am choosing not to believe that God has forgiven me, and can make good out of those regrets and my past. I also have to choose to not allow myself not to be defined by the regrets and mistakes of my past.
Regret.
We all have it. How do you let it define you? Help me change my regret into learning experiences and help me to find Him in all my regret and mistakes. I am trusting God to show me the beauty in my mistakes and my regret.

There You'll Be
So, I know that I said I was going to update this every week, and clearly I have been failing, so I apologize for that. However, given that it's been about a month since I wrote, I have had time to put in some serious thoughts about what I wanted to write about. There have been a few things that have come to mind. So, this might be a mixture of a few different thoughts. Here goes!
My first thought was about something my good friend Steve preached on once. The idea of the verses from the Lord's Prayer. "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us." According to Steve, this is one of the hardest versus in the Bible to master. We pray for our sins to be forgiven, and yet somehow we think we have the right to deny others the same forgiveness that we are asking God for. And I am in no way saying that I am not guilty of this. In fact, I would be lying if I said that it's not on my heart right now. Just about everyday, at some point, I ask God's forgiveness for something, even if it's just having a mean thought about someone. Yet, I so often struggle with forgiving people who "sin" against me. Seems kinda twisted, if you ask me. I have been daily praying that God would soften my heart on help me to "be merciful, just as my heavenly Father is merciful." Luke 6:36.
Another thought that has been weighing on my mind is the need of perfection. I have always struggled with this, mostly because it was something that my mom has pounded into my head since I was a little girl. I was never good enough because I wasn't perfect. I was almost the perfect student, but then even that stopped. I was never the right weight. I was never a strong enough athlete, or a fast enough runner. This has increased and carried over into other aspects of my life. When I do something that isn't perfect, or if people offer criticism for something that I didn't do correctly, or that I might need to improve on, I often feel about 2 feet tall, and don't know how to respond without feeling defensive. It's interesting to me though, that the need for perfection is seen as a bad thing when Jesus tells us "to be perfect as his heavenly father is perfect." Matthew 5:48.
I have also realized that God really wanted me to grow in something this past year. Less than 6 months after learning that I can never have biological children of my own, I accepted a job working in a home for pregnant, unwed mothers. I know that I have mentioned this before, but it has really been weighing on me. I didn't even know if I wanted to have children-though I always knew that I was going to adopt, I didn't know if I wanted to have biological children, and all of a sudden the decision was just taken away from me. I was told to mourn and grieve for this loss. It isn't as easy as you would think. It's hard to grieve something that you never had. But yet, I found myself crying for weeks after this. Even in front of Fr. Matt. Up until that moment, I had always fought crying in front of him, for no reason other than pride. But sitting there, telling him these things, I realized that I couldn't hold it in anymore. Anyways, all that to say, it is challenging to say the least to work in a home of pregnant women, who view their pregnancies as an inconvenience and a bother. I pray daily for the grace to love them through that and in spite of that. It's a hard thing to ask for.
There is more, but we will save that for another day. Maybe tomorrow!
God Bless!

Desert Song
Well, I am sitting in Arizona, writing my first blog as an official Maggie's Place employee. Wow. That's all I have to say about that. I just finished my second full day of boot camp, and let me tell you, it's intense. First of all, I am still on Ohio time, which is 3 hours ahead of AZ time. So, as I am writing this it is only 4:41pm in Arizona, but it is 7:41 in Ohio, which means I am pretty tired and am ready to curl up for the night and start thinking about heading to bed in a couple of hours...but that isn't the case, as we still have to make dinner, and then we are having staff game/activity night, which who knows how long that is going to last.
I am slightly bummed that I can't watch the Browns-Eagles games right now. I know it's only pre-season, but being the die hard fan that I am, I really love watching the games, even if they don't count for anything. Okay, but enough about that. I know you all want to know what I have been up to the past week. Well, here goes!
So, I have been in Arizona since Wednesday evening. I spent the first night at one of the houses in Tempe. I was so exhausted, I ended up passing out around 9pm their time, which was about midnight Ohio time. Unfortunately, I also woke up at 4:45am, Arizona time, which is about 7:45am Ohio time, so I was right on schedule for my wake up time, but it made for a really long day in the long run.
Thursday was spent learning policies and procedures, listening to people talk, having some discussion, and we went to daily mass. The best part of the day was going over to one of the other houses, getting to cook dinner, and then having someone come over and sing and play worship songs for us. Worship is one of my absolute favorite ways to pray and meditate and spend time with the Lord, so it was so relaxing to be able to do that last night.
I also spent time last night with one of the other Corps members that is going to be serving in AZ. She had never experienced Pinterest, so we spent like an hour on there, showing her all the funny things I had pinned or other funny things that other people had pinned.
Friday is so far just as long of a day. I woke up around 5:30am AZ time, and I couldn't go back to sleep. But I did have a good time chatting with the other girls early in the morning while we ate breakfast. Then we went to the Fiat house and had more meetings and filled out insurance crap and all the fun junk that no one ever wants to do. Lunch was with the Fiat staff, which was really nice because we got to talk to them and get to know them.
After lunch we had some more lessons, and got our email set up. We prayed Divine Mercy Chaplet with the staff and then had some ice cream. Now we are on free time, getting ready to start making dinner.
Basically nothing to exciting has happened yet here. I am really missing home though. I am really missing BG and am really wishing I was back there. Especially last night, since it was the first CRU of the year, and I love going to that. It's going to be hard this year, knowing that there are tons of things that I would have been at if I was in BG, but instead I just have to try to embrace the experience and the life I am in now.
I made the decision this week that I am done with my mom. And I know that I have said this before, but I really mean it. She has been incredibly abusive to me over the years, and I cannot honestly think of anything positive that has come out of us having any kind of relationship, especially since it has never been a healthy one. I am really trying to keep true to this, because I know that I am better off without her in my life.
I also go to reconnect with some great people from my past. Denise was a RH police officer that was a mentor to me while I was in high school and I got to reconnect with her this past week, which was amazing! She really helped me a lot with my mom growing up, and always made me believe that I was cared about and did her best to protect me from the craziness that was Virtue. I also got to reconnect with my friend Todd. It was great to get to talk to him and have dinner because we had lost touch for awhile, but have started reconnecting and talking and it's been great. I love that we are building this new relationship, and I can't wait to see where it goes!
Well, that is the past week of my life in a nutshell. Thanks for reading, and I will try to post again next week, probably after Bootcamp is over and you guys can have all the fun details!
Much love!

New Journeys and Old Memories
So, I officially moved back to Cleveland on Monday. I have so many mixed feelings about this. I miss Bowling Green so much. I have enjoyed spending time with my family, and I am looking forward to hanging out with my cousin and siblings this weekend, but it's still not the same as BG.
So, for those of you who don't know what is going on, let me catch you up really quick. In June I lost my job at the hospital. I was devastated. I loved my job. I began frantically searching for new work that could keep me in BG. But, I found nothing. I began expanding my search to areas around BG, and still couldn't find anything. It became clear that I wasn't going to find anything that was going to pay me what I needed to make and that was going to give me insurance. So, I made the hard decision to move back to Cleveland and to move in with my dad and step-mom, Gina.
I continued looking for a job even after I had made the decision, just in the event that something popped up last minute. I also heard of a job in Cleveland doing ministry work (which is exactly what I have wanted to do for the last four years). I went on a 5 day interview at Maggie's Place, which is a home for pregnant, unwed mothers. I was completely overwhelmed during the interview. It was 5 days of being watched, judged, and critiqued.
I returned back to BG and anxiously awaited a decision from Maggie's Place to tell me whether I got the job or not. I got a call a week later offering me a position in either Arizona or Cleveland. I was overwhelmed. I ultimately decided to stay in Cleveland, because that's where my family is, and given that I will only be making $350 per month, it didn't seem feasible to come back and visit home if I was all the way in AZ.
So, with a heavy heart, I said good-bye to the friends, family, and community that I have made in Bowling Green. I literally cried every single day before I moved back. I kept telling myself something would come up and I would be able to stay in BG, but that didn't happen. With that said, Monday afternoon I packed up my rental truck, said my final good byes and made the 2.5 hour trip from BG to Cleveland.
This is where my journey starts! Can't wait to share the next chapter of my life with you all!

I returned back to BG and anxiously awaited a decision from Maggie's Place to tell me whether I got the job or not. I got a call a week later offering me a position in either Arizona or Cleveland. I was overwhelmed. I ultimately decided to stay in Cleveland, because that's where my family is, and given that I will only be making $350 per month, it didn't seem feasible to come back and visit home if I was all the way in AZ.
So, with a heavy heart, I said good-bye to the friends, family, and community that I have made in Bowling Green. I literally cried every single day before I moved back. I kept telling myself something would come up and I would be able to stay in BG, but that didn't happen. With that said, Monday afternoon I packed up my rental truck, said my final good byes and made the 2.5 hour trip from BG to Cleveland.
This is where my journey starts! Can't wait to share the next chapter of my life with you all!
