youth catholic conference.

Hello everyone, So i attended a youth catholic conference this past weekend that was put up by the Dioceses of Fresno ca. the conference was giving in the visalia ca convention center. The theme of the conference was Mother Mary image of Truth! Here goes to show that God works in his own ways. i was not supposed to go to the conference, as i said it was for the youth, however my 3 teenage kids were attending and so i went to drop them off at church, to make long story short. My parish was in need of a driver so i filled in and drove a van to the conference. its about a 2hr drive from my parish to visalia ca. when i arrived i was amazed to see so many young teens there and see that they were actually excited to be there. Of course there were some teens that did not wanted to be there and some that went because their parents made them too. But overall there were many teens that were truly happy to be there. We ( my parish group of adult catechist teachers and chaperone's, along with our youth ) attended 4 works shops and mass and i got to say i got a lot from this experience. As i said i had no intentions on going in the 1st place but once there i left the door open in my heart and i ask Jesus to help thruout the day so i could learn something from the conference and so that i could use whatever i learn in my daily life. Now let me explain something really quick i was tired i had about 4 hrs of sleep, i drove a van full of hyper active students that made the ride interesting to say the least. so when we arrived to the conference i was beat, i was not in the best moods ever i was not angry but i was not full of joy either. But none the less i had to shake it off and ask for the Holy S. to work on me and like i said it did. There were some works shops related to teens dating, teens self respect, love, attitude, Responsibilities, how to live life the way God would wanted us to etc. I must say i picked up a lot from that talk. Even though it was supposed to be for teens i could see how i fail to do some of those things in life and with my family. There was a work shop about the Blessed Mother and St Juan Diego and the apparitions and i must say i was ashamed not to know some of the basics regarding that. After all i grew up in Mexico till i was a teen but there is so much to know about the Blessed Mother and St Juan Diego that talk inspired me to know more. According to the Religious Brother that gave the talk if one wants to have a more deeper and meaningful relationship with the blessed mother, a good place to start is in the gospel of Luke. Also by talking to her, asking her to take our prayers to her Son. To look upon us during the good and bad seasons in our life and to do what mother do Best. Be there for us to encourage us to do better for our self's and to show us that she loves us. So i have started to apply some of the things i learn during this past weekend and i definitely have opened up my bible to the Gospel of Luke. From here on it its up to me to continue to encourage my self to get closer to God and i know that God has the door open waiting for me to come in. All i have to do is make that decision to once and for all give my life to Christ and he will take care of me and my Family. The hardest part is to do just that to surrender my self, but its definitely a journey that i want to continue to walk on. WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE! God Bless.

My thoughts.

So i have been thinking for a while to start a blog, but not really sure how to do it or anything like that. Im not a computer geek, no offense to those great minds that know so much about the online industry and pc in general. You see im a mechanic by trade not a comp tech. But i felt move by God and specially the holy spirit to do this and a lot more. Recently my family and i came back to the catholic Church about 3 yrs ago or so and slowly but surely we been walking in our journey. sometimes easier for some of us and difficult for other members of my family. Catholicism is very though and very demanding there are so many things to follow and understand. Being Catholic is just not as easy as saying it. Hey im catholic! You have to be able to understand the teachings of Christ and its Bride the holy mother church and not only understand them but follow them as well. even though sometimes we just don't feel like it. But we have to trust God he knows what best, but like all things trusting God is a challenged for all especially for me. I would never thought that ill be where i am today, I saw my life as simple when i was in my early teens and now i see that God does have a plan for me and i have to trust him. I feel this very strong Call from GOD to do something great with my life for the purpose of bringing my brothers and sisters in Christ closer to him and welcome them home to Holy mother church. This is not so i become famous or a rock star this is so that i can some how some way inspired or move someone to walk with Christ. So Please come aboard and Join me but Specially Join Christ and pick up your cross and Follow God.
