Well, to be perfectly honest, today was quite overwhelming. I'm so glad to be back in school, don't get me wrong, but being in a completely different place right now is hard. A lot of people told me it would be an adjustment, and I didn't really believe them, but they were so right. It's just been a crazy, busy day.
Today, we had our opening of the semester Mass. It was so amazing. Mass here is so powerful. I love it. Everyone sings and I really can feel the power of God. What's funny is right before Mass, I ran into Fr. Calloway, the priest who has an INCREDIBLE conversion story who I blogged about at the beginning of December. I e-mailed him on Friday night to ask him when he thought he'd be around campus. He said he wasn't sure, so I just figured I'd randomly run into him one day. Well, as my friend Jessie and I were walking out of the student center to go to Mass, guess who walks right in front of me...Fr. Calloway. I called his name and he stopped. I walked over to him and introduced myself and he insantly remembered me. He said he was so glad to finally meet me and he asked me how I liked it here so far. We talked for a few minutes and it was a really fruitful conversation. Fr. Calloway's definitely a man of amazing faith.
I'm also overwhelmed because I feel like everyone here is so strong in their faith, and here I am, as someone who's extremely broken and needs a whole lot of healing. My faith has greatly suffered over the last year and a half. It's juts really hard. I'm praying for healing for my heart right now. That's what I need the most.
