Fr. Don Calloway is a priest from Steubenville who has an amazing story. When he was younger, he used to be really into drugs. He has an awful past. He spoke at a church in northern Kentucky last night, so my church's youth group went. I can't tell you how incredible it was to hear his story. It shows me that there's hope for me. A lot of his help came from the Blessed Virgin Mary, and as he spoke, something deep inside told me that the Blessed Mother was the solution to all my problems. I've never been more hopeful about anything in my life. Whenever I want to cut, I pick up the Rosary instead of the blade. I cannot even explain how much easier that's making things. I've got a new mentality about everything and it's awesome.
As corny as it sounds, I've made a promise to God. I've decided that as a "gift" to Jesus for Christmas, I'm not going to cut the rest of Advent. It's just kind of my way of showing God that I'm determined to change, and with the Blessed Mother's help, it's going to happen.
Oh, ONE MONTH UNTIL STEUBENVILLE :) :)
