I grew up in this kind of environment. Strict and conservative in following the Catholic Church's rules. And although I may not understand a lot of things, it became handy in my daily life. In my dealings with people, I realized that I have become the person molded in the strictest guidance of the Church. I am not saying I am holier than thou... or that I am above everyone else... I'm just saying that no matter how bad people think Catholic teachings are, in my life, I know that it helped me to be a better person. I needed the guidance, and without it, I know, that I will fall into the deepest recesses of losing myself. I have read philosophy books and non-Catholic teachings and there were good ones really, but I had my pick. I respect other people's opinions and I learn a lot from them. I try not to have biases since I do know how important a person's belief is, specially in spiritual matters.
What I said in my dream... it was actually a scary challenge. But I read a blog by Bo Sanchez, where he said "God is your number 1 fan!" Preachy and kind of corny isn't it? Godly matters are considered outdated nowadays... but I can't help but want to believe it. May it be true or not, I want to believe it. People may see me as delusional or not practical... but it's the way I want to live. I want my life to be worth God's while. It already is... And it is my duty to stand tall and shine my light... hopefully, a reflection of God's image. The good God not distorted by other people's opinion... but my own opinion of who He is... my own knowledge of Him that I gathered as I journeyed in my life. :)
On a lighter and very different note:
Played with my cam again one Sunday morning while I was studying. ^__^... I also took the liberty of applying and trying out make-up on myself since I do get out a lot lately. Haha...just woke up happy that day, that's all! ^__^
I just illustrated my opinions on how I express my thoughts :D
