Faithfulness

The value of friendship

September 1, 2010

I have shared with you before the amazing events that happen at my church on the first Wednesday of the month called Inspire. After a break for the summer, they have began again. Once again, the music was amazing, the worship alive, and the my tears flowed freely. But, I am not going to talk [...]

A true sign I am not feeling well…

June 28, 2010

I haven’t been feeling so great over the past few weeks. It seems to have gotten worse over the last few days. On Thursday, during training, I had to eat TUMS in order to stay there. I was so close to coming home because I was feeling so ill. I am a strong person though [...]

Forgiveness

May 30, 2010

The homily today at church was about forgiveness. The (wonderful) priest shared the following prayer by Fr. Robert DeGrandis. As I was sitting there listening, I found that many of the people and scenarios did not apply to me, yet others did. We are reminded to forgive those that hurt us on a daily basis [...]

Hatred and Hypocrisy Felt Firsthand

May 16, 2010

Tonight, I felt the power of hatred firsthand. Never before in my life have I been discriminated against because of my beliefs. I have been treated differently or made fun of possibly, but never experienced hatred simply because I am Catholic. I know there are many people that have strong feelings about Catholics. I am [...]

A little bit of wisdom

May 14, 2010

It has been awhile since I shared the verse of the day but I love this one (for Friday). When the Holy Spirit controls our lives, he will produce this kind of fruit in us: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. (Gal. 5:22-23) I have prayed for patience and self-control so [...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

May 9, 2010

I love my children more than I could ever tell anyone, more than I could put into words. Being a mother means so much to me. I can’t imagine my life without my two precious babies. They are my world. Being a mother is such a blessing… but with this blessing come hardships. There are [...]

Am I worthy of God’s love?

March 4, 2010

Tonight, I had the most amazing experience at church. I can honestly say that I have never felt the way I did this evening. I have never been moved to tears and felt the presence of our Lord come over me in such a way. I have never felt such peace. Once a month, my [...]

Lenten Sacrifices

February 17, 2010

If you do not know, I am Catholic. Lent is upon us as today is Ash Wednesday. I have been thinking about what I want to “give up” for Lent this year. As a child, we were always encouraged to give up something, whether it be candy, gum, or soda. As I grew, in age [...]

Just keep breathing and believe

January 31, 2010

The tax situation I mentioned on Friday has become even worse. At this point, I am unable to share anything about what is going on, but I have been struggling with how to find the good in this situation. I have been trying so hard to be a more understanding person… to find the good [...]
