Many failures! Many disappointments. Much more blessings!

Many months have past since I last wrote. Many bad things have happens but much more blessings I have received then ever before. Like any good Christian CatholicI had set different goals in my prayer life and knowledge of Christ. And like many times over. Ill start strong. Listening to audio CDs on catholic apologetics. Watching videos. Reading catholic and Christian blogs. Doing Espiritual  exercising to help my faith grow.

 And a couple of weeks will go by and ill be on top of things. And then out of nowhere something will come about that will change everything. Work will be slow or none. Frustrating or challenging. Or something will happen in my house or with my family. And I'll have to shift my focus back to deal with a particular situation or person. In the meantime not realizing that I have lost my focus on god.   And before you know it I stop praying as much and then the feeling of being drain out kicks in. 

But not realizing how much more blessings I get every time. I have failed so many times. I have to confess that to you reading this blog. I am not proud of my sins. But I am happy that every time i have fallen I have managed to get up and  start up all over again. 

Every time I have fallen I have Learn something different about me. I have learn a different weakness and strength. Every time I have fallen and got up I have 
done it thru the grace of god and by the same grace i have left some part of my sinfulness nature behind me and thankfully some hard and difficult sins have become more and more easy to avoid and not commit or think about committing. 

Many people including yours truly. Had the mentally to say. Well I have fallen time and time again so what's the point to get up again. I can testify to you that Thru the blessed mother the Virgin Mary. I am changing little by little. Every time I fall I hear the blessed mother saying. Get up Jesus is waiting for you with his arms wide open. Watch come and see how much Jesus loves you. 

Yes I hate to fail!  Yes I get tired of trying an not succeeding! Yes I want an easy life! But it is not what in want. It's what jesus wants out of my life! 

I am very blessed to have my priest in my life. Father Jorge Dela Torre. Has taught me a lot about god and his word and his teachings. My mentor and personal friend. Rick Lentz from http://brothertobrotherministries.com
Has been a great example To my life as a man
As a father. Husband. Disciple of Christ and a
Great catholic leader. 

And I can go on and on. I do have many things 
To be blessed for. And the only reason why is
That every time I have failed i have got up and 
Succeed In some kind of small way. 

So brothers and sisters reading this blog. When
You have fail. When you feel discourage and 
Wanting to quit. When all hope is gone. Remember 
god is always There. And two
You too could get up and try and try again. 

The path to heaven has been laid out for us. Thru
The ministry of the one true and holy and catholic
And apostolic church. Go bless you and your love
Ones. 

Sincerely

Carlos Napoles. 
Servant of Christ thru Mary!
