Broken...in a good way!

There is something about being home that makes me write on here, which is a good thing.

God is awesome. Just in case you were wondering, because I know you all were. We have been conversing lately. Which is always a good thing. If only I could keep things this way. Clearly that would be too easy and clearly Mother Theresa and Martin Luther King Jr. wavered in their faith at times.

I feel like this might be a mish mash of random things. So, uh, if you get confused ask me, I can decode it for you.

I want to save the world more then ever now. I'm so sick of sitting idly by and not being able to do anything[or feeling like I can't do anything] because I'm only 20 years old. Maybe because school is apparently every one's top priority. Who needs school anyway? Dumb question, cause I need it. I am ready to graduate. I am ready for some saving the world adventures. Funny that I keep saying I'm ready, I guess God isn't ready for me to be out there yet. It is just frustrating because this summer I did something and now I'm back in school and I feel like a little kid again. That might not make sense but yeahhh. I guess I'll just have to keep going with what I have... Hunger & Homelessness Week is coming up, the SOA Protest is coming up, World AIDS Day is coming up. I suppose I will have to do my own in this stuff to save the world.

I visited our favorite castle yesterday. Sean, Brian, Chris and Joel are doing lovely. Working hard...or hardly working? I believe it is the first one! They are chugging along shaping the youth of New Jersey. And while they are all well, we all know that the best thing at the seminary are the cookies! They were tasty as usual! I was even so lucky to get a warm, soft, right out of the oven cookie. It broke in my hand! It was amazing. My mom is pretty awesome too[I promise this is on the same subject!] We left the seminary to come home and she was like "I think you needed that." I think my mom can ready my mind. I feel community everyday. I am pretty sure I get stalked by Leaderworx everyday. But lately, with the stress of school and my own life, I have been lacking that community feeling. So going to the seminary and having people from this summer tangibly in front of me was what I needed!

And finally, apparently I'm broken. Sounds negative, right? It is actually a good thing. If you want the full story ask me, I've written enough as it is. Sometimes I think being broken is bad but in this moment, it is great. So, I'm just going to keep going. I'm going to fight like hell to make sure my life isn't sucked into the vacuum of negativity that is around me. I'm going to keep reading The Irresistible Revolution and then go save the world. Join me if you would like =]

I love you all. I miss you all. I hope things are going well for everyone!
Love Always and Forever,
Moptimus Prime[a new one from Chris!]

PS! Have a few quotes:
"As individuals we may not have it all together, but together we have it all."
"Without hope we have nothing."
"There can be no vulnerability without risk; there can be no community without vulnerability; there can be no peace, and ultimately no life, without community."
"I know God won't give me anything I can't handle, I just wish he didn't trust me so much."
"Live life to its fullest, you never know when it may end."
