2017 was an interesting and chaotic year for me. 2018 is still early in the year and so far it has been great for a women who will be entering in her 40's in July.
There are more things in life that are important than materials and money. Lately, I been focusing more on my faith, thankful for my new job, my sister's family is growing and i am enjoying my nephew and niece that I love dearly. I am thankful that my parents are enjoying retirement, and that I met a new man who entered into the Catholic Faith. I am also thankful for being able to hang out with friends in my Bible Study and Cursillo. Most important, I am thankful for being around people who will help, support, and help me become the woman that God wants me to be.
At times, I don't feel confident about myself either physically, mentally, and confronting my anger, and being a sinner (though the medications I've been taking have helped me, along with exercising and talking with my three close friends). Instead of asking "why" about my life, I would rather focus on what is my purpose in life - to do good deeds to others. I have heard these verses, Be Not Afraid and Jesus, I Trust In You. My life is an opportunity for me to follow Jesus, regardless, what is being thrown at me - good or bad. I look at this as a reflection of learning from my mistakes, opening my heart, and moving forward and not looking back! Amen.
Hello, it's lovely to hear from me again! My name is Renee Oania. I’ve been a resident here in Castroville, CA all my life and never left this town. I attended schools in the North Monterey County Unified School District from K-12. The city is well known for Artichokes! I graduated from California State University, Monterey Bay, with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Telecommunication, Multimedia, and Applied Computing. Currently, I work as a Bank Teller at a small business bank called Monterey County Bank. One of my goals is to contribute articles for Catholic365.com. Hopefully, the articles I have written will be able to encourage others with their faith. I’m very blessed to use my talents. I'm active with my church at Our Lady of Refuge Catholic Church in Castroville, CA. I'm involved to volunteering at the church gift shop, I'm part of the Altar Society, I'm part the Italian Catholic Federation. In addition, I enjoy going to the beach after a long day at work. Spending time with family and friends on holidays or birthdays! May God Bless You!
