After finally going with my loooong list I met Jesus with the priest in confession. I hadn’t dug myself a hole that big for a long time. Even after the sacrament of confession I didn’t feel much better. Which is strange because usually I feel wonderful afterwards. So a little later I made a holy hour. Which is exactly what I needed to do. I felt the holy spirit again. Oh how I can’t live without feeling close to God…
anyway.
Afterwards I went to a new years eve party. This man (who has a problem with christianity) commented on my attitude. He very clearly had a problem with me. I didn’t understand. I wondered what I had done. Was I acting like a jerk? Later it hit me. I was filled with the holy spirit and it really offended him. It really hurt that *that *was what was bothering him. I felt a slight feeling of persecution. Giving me a hint of what Jesus went through. I’d never quite felt it like that. Normally I’m so into my walk of faith I don’t notice things like that or let them bring me down. I consider it a blessing actually to have experienced that. It was a strange/sobering realization (I was not drinking last night by the way).
Anyway, just thought I’d share that. Not out of pride/vanity. Just thought people would relate.
