Live & let Live.
March for Life 2012 taught me many things… Life itself is a huge blessing and having the chance to live that life is a great gift. Spending that life with people you love is a miracle. I realized I am fortunately and unfortunately I am a statistic and I learned that some of my deepest life thoughts have occurred in the closet of a Hyatt Hotel while on March for Life. Last year I was so close to giving up on someone but this year God showed me why the struggling persistency was in fact worth it. I lived without regret and did not care about the thoughts of others that followed. I said words that were so hard to even say, but for the good of the friendship needed to be said. I was tongue tied and terrified. I’m still trying to process all that happened and slowly am realizing how much my life is a beautiful mess. Wherever my life may lead me, I know my vocation is love. “If you thought this was easy you’re wrong.”- Mayday Parade. Patience is a virtue, one I’m slowly getting better at. I have to learn to ‘Go with God’ and accept the will of the Lord to wherever it may lead me. For the first time in my life I felt hope for a future where abortion will be illegal. The pro-life message is one that should not stop. I feel like my life is well…crazy. . I know my life is a journey with the purpose of showing others the truth. Heck, look who came on this trip. We must not be part of the frozen chosen sour faced saints. We must live a life of love and truth, but we must not forget about having fun. Live a life you will look back on and LAUGH about. For heaven’s sake, live & do so without regret. While I did things I’m not particularly proud of myself for doing, I don’t regret them one bit because they are adding the stones to the pathway of my future. Sometimes you have to just go with it and reflect on it after the fact. How can one defend life without living their own? Life is a gift that needs to be embraced and never taken for granted. LIVE.
