Yesterday I had my CLC (christian life community) then I went to adoration for an hour just like every Monday night. CLC was really interesting and we learned a little about making decisions with your heart rather than with your mind. It was really interesting and really made me think of the one decision I know I made with my heart and not my mind- my decision to come here to SLU. I can't think of any other decision I've ever made that was truly made from giving it all up to God and following my heart and listening to what he wanted me to do. I can't even begin to describe how much I love SLU and know that this place is where I am meant to be. My confidence and happiness in this decision totally encourages me to keep trying daily to make my decisions with my heart and not just reason everything out in my head and over-think everything with my mind. Sometimes, actually all the time, the greatest choices made are the ones made through prayer and trust in God!
Tonight I went to the Students for Life meeting. We had nominations for executive board members for the next year. I was nominated for the Internal VP position, which deals with the members and keeping them involved in different activities sponsored by the group. I am totally flattered that I was nominated, but I'm still thinking about whether accepting the nomination is the right decision. I get really nervous with leadership roles, and I feel like someone who could be there for the entire year rather just one semester (since I'm studying abroad next spring) might be better suited for the position. Also the other nominee for the position would be totally great and amazing at it. So I'm definitely trying to make this decision with my heart, whether to keep the nomination and see if I get elected, or to decline the nomination and wait for another opportunity in a year or two. We'll see what happens!! Anyway then I went to Mass in my residence hall and I altar served and Eucharistic Ministered. I spilled the wine, but thankfully it was before it was actually the Blood of Christ. Accidents happen! Besides that it's been a pretty uneventful couple of days in my life on the cool side!! I would say happy feast of the Chair of St. Peter, but it just turned midnight meaning that awesome feast is over. Well happy Wednesday!
That's really awesome, being nominated for that position. I'll be praying for you as you make your decision! And I like what you said about making decisions with your heart and not necessarily your head. I'm working on prayer and trusting God right now in my own life and it has been hard getting started, but I can see the reward of having more peace and contentment in my life in just this short time since the beginning of the semester.
