Inspiration.


I checked out a new book from the library on Monday, and I'm enjoying it a lot. It's called A Life With Karol, about Pope John Paul II. I've always wanted to learn more about him, so I figured I'd start here (plus, books from the library are free :)). He really was a fascinating, wonderful man, and he brought so much to the Church... and to humankind in general. 

I think one of the best parts of the book is learning about the man behind the religious figure. Meaning, the trials and tribulations he faced on his journey to become pope. It's inspiring to know that people like him existed--and still exist. And it encourages me to rely on my faith at all times... through the good and the bad. 

Like now. I've been really confused lately. I suppose that could be a good thing--it's teaching me to really think about what I want in life. Yet this week has been stressful, and I sometimes wonder what it is I'm doing. I'm having lunch with an old friend tomorrow, though, so that should be nice. Even though I'm trying not to spend too much money (I really should be better about eating lunch out), I feel as if this is a special occasion, so it's OK. It's difficult not to stress over money issues in this economy. Every month we're seeing more and more layoffs, and I honestly don't think this porkulus plan is the solution. But here's to hoping!

I should go to bed. Too much on my mind, and I need to try and sleep. Goodnight.
