Well, today was my last day of my first summer class. I can't believe the first of my classes is done! It's kind of a relief to be done because I was really, really struggling at the beginning. It was weird not having all of my friends here and stuff. I don't have class tomorrow and my final is on Friday. Then, Friday evening, Fr. Greg is coming to visit. I'm so excited. When my friends met him in DC, they said that now they realize why I speak so highly of him. He's the most incredible man I know and seriously, I wouldn't be alive if it weren't for his constant encouragement. For instance, the other night, he texted me "God is saying to you: 'You are beautiful and you are loved'." He didn't give up on me and loved me when I needed love the most. I'm really looking forward to seeing him. He kept true to his promise made to me 55 days ago, which means a lot. I've had a lot of people break promises and it's such a relief to know that he is going to keep his promise. I have been so blessed to have him in my life. He was brought into my life at the perfect time. He helped me through some of the darkest times. I thank God every day for him. He has been the truest example of Christ I have ever seen. I've met a lot of priests (especially being here at Franciscan. There are friars EVERYWHERE) and Fr. Greg is closer to my heart than any of the friars here. Fr. Greg consistently takes time out of his busy life to help a 20-year-old college student who used to live 500 miles away (now it's only 250 because I'm in Steubenville. Haha.). What a blessing!
"O, how great is the priest! ... If he realized what he is, he would die." -St. John Vianney
