Week 9: Almost There, Youth Rally for Life

     The day is almost here! I have been waiting for the Youth Rally for Life for months and months! I know that the Right to Life League of Southern California has done a lot to prepare for this event and I give them my deepest thanks. The speakers, the music, the testimonies, and the youth are all expected to be wonderful and I know that they will exceed my expectations. However, I have learned from past experiences that nothing is ever what it seems. Every single one of the religious conventions and retreats I have attended have turned out to be completely different than what I expected. Therefore I expect the same results from the Youth Rally for Life. 
     Part of me can't help to feel anxious and a bit nervous. Nervous because I'm not sure what will happen or exactly how things will turn out to be. Anxious because I have been waiting for this event for a long time. However, almost everything is ready for this Saturday. I have the youth representing St. Justin Martyr Catholic Church, transportation, registration, and video camera ready. All that is left is the last few applications and an SD Card for my video camera. I am so ready for whatever awaits me at this encounter and may it help in my fight against abortion!
