Majoring in Archeology

We have faith and work to complete in front of us. We don’t need an increase of faith or a new job. The grass is not greener on the other side. God calls us to use the faith that we already have and to perform the tasks that we were already given. Eureka! I figured it out, the job that we all have is to be archeologists, (arqueólogos) because we are to discover and study every single person we meet. Read their behaviors, their reasons, motivations, languages of love, fears, goals, likes, needs, wants. Listen to them. Let them speak. These are souls that are meant to cross our paths, maybe for an hour, a day, or even a year. Some may be for a lifetime. The length of time is not for us to figure out, but to make the time allotted resourceful in learning about someone.  After an encounter with an individual or individuals we should know more about them than they know about us. The ones are that meant to stay, the ones that find you appealing, will go out of their way as archeologists to get to know you more. That’s not the problem, we all want our story heard, but to hear the story of another and to write about it, and share it, and be a fan of someone besides ourselves is absolute love. Even if we don’t get the same love in return, love anyway. After all, it’s not about us. The world does not revolve around us. We are here to advance the Kingdom of God. Now I must excavate the ruins of West Texas and discover the unknown and their functions. Time to put on my Dora the Explorer funky @ss looking hat and go explore some people. “Vámonos” –Frankie J

Don’t stalk. Learn, observe, take notes, and ask questions, if they’re receptive and inviting welcome yourself in, in a natural comfortable way. Don’t be awkward. Don’t force yourself to learn about someone because some people don’t want to be discovered just yet. You will eventually, if you were meant to share together. It’s about building relationships, friendships for better understanding. Quit trying to search for love interests because love is not something you find, it finds you. It's ok to be friends with the opposite sex, it's a requirement. Ultimately, if you want to be a good spouse someday, a degree in archeology must be attained. In the mean time, you is an explorer mother freaker not Rico Suave.

Now, go and discover the undiscoverable, search in the ends of the world and do not leave any stone unturned.  Watch out for rattle snakes! They may have a different agenda, if you know what I mean. Appreciate them, watch them in their natural habitat, and admire their beauty because they were also created by God. We don't battle against flesh and blood, it's not the snake we should worry about, it's the evil one, the Father of Lies. Don’t worry too much though, know that Our Lady has already crushed its head.

Explore children of God! I hope I get to find you all, in a crowd of a million, in a million years, in a million places. I hope I learn a million things about you and love you a million times because that's what our Lord has commanded us. To love one another as He has loved us. To do that, we must be archeologists in this world.
