Why so much pressure?

So I haven't posted in a while.  It has been fall break and I have been so busy.  I have just been all over.  One of the things I learned over break is tolerance, especially religious tolerance.  One of the people I hung out with was acting weird around me after I told her I was Catholic and she kept trying to get me to go to her church events.  I'm sorry but I am not going to change my religion because of what anybody thinks.  I am going to accept you and your beliefs but that doesn't  mean I am going to follow them... Hello I am not pressuring you so don't pressure me! I don't know why people try and make it a big deal to convert people into their religion, let people believe what they want and if they ask you questions answer them, don't pressure them into believing what you believe.  People are entitled to their own opinion so let them have it.  Religion is such a touchy subject that, lets be honest, should just be kept between you and God (or other religious figure)  It's different if someone asks you a question about your beliefs or if you ask someone else a question, but ultimatly it is up to you.  Nobody else needs to be involved in what you believe.  Sorry for rambling but I need to get my point across.
Other than this little issue, my break has been very nice, fun, relaxing, and tiring all at the same time it helped me realize some things, and help me understand who I can trust and consider a true friend.

Lesson Well Learned

What a truly awesome day! I feel at ease about everything right now for some unexplainable reason. I learned today about acceptance, people (including myself of course) need to learn to open their hearts and accept the way people are. I know that sounds hard but when you just let people be themselves and don't get angry about what they are trying to do, things go a lot better. I feel that people don't want to accept the fact that they might not be the best at whatever it is they are doing but if they just open their heart and mind the might learn something. "Give up your anger, abandon your wrath; do not be provoked; it brings only harm." Psalms 37:8. So just let people be themselves and remember God made them that way for a reason! Peace!

First posting

What does life have in store for you? What are you here for? These are questions I ask myself every day. I personally have a strong catholic faith so I will often put religious information into my posts. I feel that we never know what our life will bring until it is right there and smacks you in the face and that is just something we have to deal with because God is going to throw us a curve ball every now and then.
I have learned not to set my plans in stone because they can change at any time. I would rather be surprised that everything went as planned then be let down because what I had planned failed. If your planns don't go as expected just keep your chin up because God has a bigger and better plan for you even if you don't want to believe it. Just remember God wouldn't bring you to it if you couldn't get through it!
That being said give God a chance he loves you more than anyone on this earth and he will always be by your side!
