I constantly looking to further my relationship with God. I'm looking for and listening to Him in all places. In particular, I find Christian worship music to really get me into a zone of meditation of where I think about the words that are being sung and how God is working in my life.

I am learning to control my reactions, pause and take a deep breath. I try to think of how Jesus would respond in difficult situations and I've noticed that I am less angry, more able to look at points of view other than my own even when I think I am right, I am able to work more effectively with co-workers that I may think are difficult because I am try to come from a place of love.

I am learning to take responsibility to address ways in which I need to grow emotionally mature and develop my emotional intelligence. I have done this by reading books on emotional intelligence, taking leadership courses, learning how to deal with past trauma and seeking help so that I do not remain stuck in an unhealthy place.

I have realized that being a Catholic, my journey with God is not meant to be alone. Over the past 6 years or so I have connected with fellow faith believers and have concentrated on honing those relationships because we seek God together. Whether we meet online to study the Bible, do devotionals together, and/or pray together at school...I think that doing this with 2 or more people is taking responsibility of learning about God and our relationship with him on another level. We are building a faith community and creating ownership/mentorship with one another so that we stay on the right path that Jesus has laid out for us. It is also about how we relate to other human beings and how we can lead a better moral life!

Reading the Bible-I make sure that I read the Bible every single day. The more I read the more my soul hungers for His word. I cannot, not read the Word. It is like the need to have water and food in order to survive. His Word (his daily bread) is what I need every single day. The more I read, the deeper my understanding is of God and what his Will is for me.
Praying- Back in the day, I used to only pray at bedtime. Now, I am praying left, right and centre. I pray to him when I wake up, when I'm at school, when I'm sitting in the car, when I'm having a bad moment, when I'm having an amazing moment, when I'm going to bed. It is literally all the time. The more that I pray, the more I feel my relationship with God strengthens and I see and hear him clearly. I see him in the beauty of the snow when it glistens like sparkles, I see Him when my Mom came out of surgery and her healing has been so fast that doctors are astounded, I hear him when I get that nudge to encourage someone, I hear him when someone encourages me in that moment when I think I can't deal with stress anymore. Reading His word and praying to God is my responsibility to maintain and strengthen my relationship with Him, it is also so I can understand him more and more and make sure I am living life like Jesus would.

Throughout my life I have made some mistakes, I mean who hasn't? However, what I don't want to do is repeat them. When I have been in bad situations or made a mistake, I take that situation and try to learn from it. What could I have done better? What can I do better in the future not only for myself but for the outcome of all parties involved so that I grow my personal integrity.

I am really trying to be conscious of how I interact with my friends, family, co-workers, students, parents etc. because I want the way I live and work to be a positive affect on others. I want to go into situations with an open-heart, open-mind and one of "how can I help you" make this situation better. I am also looking at really taking constructive criticism or feedback not as an attack on myself but as a way that I can be a better person, leader, and teacher.
