Hatred and Hypocrisy Felt Firsthand

May 16 by Stefany 12 Comments

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 not out to evangelize anyone.  In contrast, I just want to have the same … [Read more...]

A little bit of wisdom

May 14 by Stefany 2 Comments

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 much lately.  I need to feel the love, peace, and joy in my everyday … [Read more...]

Happy Mother’s Day!

Once a month, my church has a gathering called Inspire.  I have spoken of this before as I have been every month since it started.  These … [Read more...]

Lenten Sacrifices

February 17 by Stefany 1 Comment

lent

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 and faith, I learned that it isn't so much about what you give up.  It is more about a sacrifice you make for Christ just as He did … [Read more...]
