What stands out to me the most is that other girls, who go to the same school, are raised in the same way about Catholicism as i am (due to mount) can have such different opinions. They can be on opposite sides of the spectrum, but that doesn't mean that i have a right to criticize them. It made me realize that no matter what other people's opinions are, i should not judge them, for it is not in my place. I should love them and be respectful of the, because in the end the ultimate judge is God.
Some things that i have learned about myself, even though they may not seem good, is that i don't necessarily agree with everything that the Catholic Church preaches. It has kind of helped me realize that i want to almost build my own path and believe what i think is right, not to just believe everything the church says because i'm "supposed to." What i can take forward with me as i go on from this class is that i don't always have to agree with people because i am supposed to. I have taken from this class that it doesn't matter if i don't believe what other people believe, but that God will always love me for me as long as i love others like he (she?) does.
I can expand my space of waiting to make more room for Jesus by taking time out of my day to think about the little things that i can do to make him happy, to make God happy, and to make others happy. I can slow down and take time out of my day and reflect upon what i've done, and what i have failed to do as well.
I can take time to soak in this "waiting" by really realizing what i have, and not taking it for granted. I can take this time to pray and work on my weakness instead of just ignoring them and moving on to the next thing.
