My Journal
Hello, welcome to My Journal. My journal is intended to share you my life stories and my faith as I grow closer to Christ. I feel you should know who the creator of this web site it. When reading these journals they are either written to myself, you or God. These are uncensored, except for the fact that I take out the entries about certain people. So this is me, I hope I seem like a good person but if not, hold me accountable. Another thing you must understand is that I am not a expert Catholic. I have a lot to learn so there may be some things that I write that are not correct. But we all have to start somewhere. I hope these journals help you in your own faith journey.

Spring Semester: IPFW
I still visit Dayton University just about every weekend. I have become part of their Catholic Life group there and the people have become a part of who I am. I absolutely love it there and am considering transferring there. I still do not know if I can even transfer there at all because of my obligations here in Fort Wayne. This has been something I have been praying for a lot.

I attended IVY Tech for my spring semester and now IPFW university in Fort Wayne Indiana for my fall semester. During this time I have many friends that went to University of Dayton. Since the beginning of 2005 I started to visit a lot. Almost every weekend. Because of that I have made many friends that aren't from Fort Wayne, and its one the the greatest things that has happened to me. The people at Dayton have changed my life.

I attended Purdue during this time for both the spring and fall semester. Purdue was not my favorite place in the world but during this trial I grew in my faith so much. The journals lack showing that. I was too busy with class and feeling so down all the time that I never felt like writing all the good stuff down. I had a hard time looking for good things and with a positive attitude but I prayed the rosary in the chapel everyday which made my relationship with Mary much stronger. If it wasn't for Mary I would have gone even more crazy than I did.

2003 Life Situation |
| I may have misplaced my journals from this year. I will keep looking for something to fill this year. |

I graduated from Bishop Dwenger then went to Purdue after the summer. I do not have many journals from this time mostly because when I started my faith it did not have strong base, so I did not have anything to fall back onto. Also during this time I started my college career at Purdue, therefore I didn't have much good to write about there.

2002 Life Situation |
|

When my first journals were written in July this is when I started on my faith journey. I had met new friends that were part of a Life Teen parish. They brought me in with wide open arms. During the summer before my senior year I met a girl which we started dating. At that time mostly because of her I grew in my faith so much and I was so happy about everything. I fell in love with Jesus and a girl.
Even though my faith started then, from reading these I can tell it was very primitive. Most of my thoughts I have on here are not how I think anymore, but I feel that I should put them on here so that you know how my faith started. Also you must understand the previous life I was living. It was a life of death, crime and hate so this is a huge step forward.
