I'm in. Alex, 19, student. My biggest worry/fear/etc for the upcoming year is my studies, specifically how to improve and do my best consistently and passionately living my faith outside of the comfortable confines of school.

27, what's on my mind this year is using my literary production to glorify God instead of the other way around, and being completely dependent on Him - help needed!

Thanks![/quote]

[quote name='Clare~Therese' timestamp='1321032686' post='2334962']This sounds fun!
Sarah, 15. Student. Discerning (Poor Clares maybe?). I'm worried about my speech class next semester, geometry, and driver's ed, and school-related stuff in general. I'd also like to improve my artistic/drawing/sketching skills to glorify God; I'd like to grow in faith and trust in God.[/quote]

[quote name='FutureCarmeliteClaire' timestamp='1321034000' post='2334981']Love the idea!

Claire, 13, discerning with the Carmelites, but still looking into other communities to keep my heart open to His Will for me. I want to grow in trust and love for God, and the will to defend Him whenever need presents itself.[/quote]

[Basilisa Marie]

[quote name='vee8' timestamp='1321112525' post='2335377']
St James was my patron for this year but I was getting tired of being stalked by saints who were either born in Spain or died there so I kinda ignored him
[/quote]

You get stalked by saints of a specific flavor too? Mine are usually confessors/martyrs from the first few centuries of Christianity. Perpetua stalked me at my confirmation, and true to form the Holy Spirit picked Macrina the Elder for this year.

it's an interesting book...about a guy who finds out he has a 'blessed' for a distant cousin, so in a way, it's about his journey and about the saint as well. there are definitely things I disagree w/the author about (takes some slams against the Catholic Church...not out of malice, I don't think, but out of ignorance), and sometimes the book can meander (needed a good editor, imo).
