Following On The The Jouney

Description

A written description of my spiritual journey through life. I am a 17 yo Catholic student, stepping out into the world. I decided I would make a blog so I would have somewhere to write my way through this time in my life, especially the spiritual side of me.

My first entry - a bit about me

Hi, Anyone out there who may be reading this!!
I'm Krista, I live in the northen rivers area of NSW, Australia. I'm 17, formally a homeschooler, now studying for a BA University off-campus through Open Uni.
I have recently applied for a job in a town away from home, I should know if I got it either today or tomorrow. If I have got it, then I'll be moving away from home and coming home on weekends. I'm sort of excited at the idea of moving away from home, and seeing if I really can look after myself. I will be the first in my family to leave the nest, so this will be a new experience for all of us. But first I have to get the job. =) I have started this blog because I just want somewhere I can share my thoughts with people, but not have to worry about what they think..
I find it hard to open myself up to people I really know, but it's something that I really want to be able to do, so I have this blog, but no one knows about it.
So I can write what ever I want to about my deepest darkest self, and no one but people who have no idea who I am will read it. And strangly, I dont mind that at all. I just dont want all my friends and family knowing me inside out. lol
I read in one of my Uni lectures, (I get them sent to me in text form, instead of listening to them) That quiet often people find it easier to open up to 'the trusted stranger' then to the people around them everyday. I can't remember the reason for this, but thats what its like for me I guess.
So basically, this Blog will be very deep. =)
Oh, it will have random nonsense from me as well. Lifes to serious with ou random nonsense. or chocolate, Life is to flavorless without chocolate. =9
I will write about my spiritual journey mainly, from a catholic point of view. I'm sorta on a rollercoaster at the moment within my spiritual journey, I'm uncertain of what God is calling me to be, or where he wants me at the moment. a week or so ago this uncertainty had me in a sort of mental agony, and so I prayed about it, and I felt God saying to me, "Just follow me."
That has become my moto in a way. More then anything I just want to love and serve God through my whole life, but I wasn't sure how God wanted me to do this, and I wanted to get control of where my life was heading, so I could plan ahead. But now, Instead of trying to get control of where my life is going, I'm simply "Following," and leaving it all in his hands.
If I step out to do something, like this new job for example, I trust that God will guide me, and if it is his will I will get the job, and if it's not, I won't.
Sooner or later I know God will show me the right way to go. It's all a trusting thing I guess, like a child trusting it's Father, and just following his lead.

Well thats the basic background of myself. It does get more complicated then that, But I havn't got time to write it all down now. The complications are nothing really, not with God to help me. =D

God Bless Thee All, Krista.
