My praise for God's Glory! Truely the healing power of Christ is never ending and ever renewing. This past week or so has been a roller coaster ride of wornoutness. Yes I'm making up my own words still. My soul felt like it had been wrenched out of my body and stuffed back in. Its still getting sorted out. But in the past few weeks I felt like I was missing my drive in my Faith... yeah not a good thing I know. I felt unexpectedly alone as well. Its scary how my imperfection is so apparent that sometimes its hard to focus on things that really matter. But I would like to say Jesus knows how to cheer a guy up. He sent me some wonderful people in the past week. I don't think most of you know you even made a difference and showed Christ's Love to me this week.

I'll just give a resounding thank you to a few ppl. Katie for telling me I'm awesome when I needed to hear it. To Jeni for giving me a Hug at just the right time. To Ashley for always being a friend I can be myself around. To Leta for inviting me to play poker like she really wanted my company. To Cassie for inviting me to see Anchorman tonight. To Kristin for sitting next to me in mass and giving some great hugs and alwasy being so kind and having a great smile. To Jeremy for being someone I can just relax and forget about anything important with. And to anyone who gave me a hug like they meant it. To all of you I give my heart felt thanks for being vessels of God's Love for me.... I forget how much He really does Love us.

I've decided I'm happier when I'm acting like a little kid and just having fun. I wish I could do that all the time.

On yet another side note, summin Fr. Kurt said to me a good while back came back to me just now. He said "Jesus's greatest fear was rejection." I may share that same fear. I truely fear being rejected... in friendship, in dating, in anything really. Christ's humanity is amazing, having shared in my fears, my pains, my joys. But even fearing rejection He tried, even knowing He would be rejected my some He gave. If I could do the same.... what would tomarrow be like.

Hollowness fades from me,
It is filled with thee.

Peace,
Craig
