A time to reflect

Reflecting on the time I spent with the Sisters in Indiana. I still really do not know how to put to words what is going on with in my heart. It seems that I learned so much. That I have found I could be a part of this community. That is if this is where I'm being to lead be. There are so many questions that I have but do not really have words to put to them. One of the sisters said to let the Holy Spirit lead you. He differently was doing a number in my heart on the drive home. In fact, he still is. Still it seems like it is such a long time to wait. First for Easter. Then, for the two years until I would be able to join a religious order. If that is God's leading.

A weekend to remember!

This past weekend is one of that I will never forget. I have really felt like I like was home. There was so much to take in. The rhythm of life of the the Sisters of Saint Benedict of the Monastery Immaculate Conception. Is something that I really love. And I don't otherwise have as a day to day part of my life. Is the daily times of prayer.

I know that I really wont Easter to come. And becoming a part of the Church. Soon!!

Fat Tuesday to Ash Wensday and a few more things

Well, when I started this blog I was hoping to post more often then I am. As of the time of this post I have been out of work for a month. My grandma my is on her second stay in the hospital in the same amount of time. It seems that when the craziness of live seems like I can feel the need to rely the most on faith.
Fat Tuesday, a time to pig out on what will be given up for Lent. While, time to drink up or eat up on what ever is to be given up. I'll be giving up my favorite drink, Coke Zero. This time of giving up is a time to ready one's self for Easter. Most impotently it is for my coming into the Catholic Church. The time seems to be flying. So, here's to the next forty days!

Loss of a son

The news of death of John Travolta's son Jett. There is such a great interest in the ways of the death of the precious life. One that we should allow to be morned in peace. Allow the Travolta's to do with out being the media being right there. I can understand why we wont to know about this. The life of those who are famous draw us. The have the right to be left alone no matter who they are.

History has been made

Elecation 2008. History has been made. The first black man has been elected to the highest office in the United States of Americia. Barack Obama!! What an amazing thing to witeness history.

Looking at various communities

I have been for the past several month looking at various communities. This I have found is not easy or something to be rushed into. I really don't know where, when, or if I will even become a sister. But, it does feel that I am going in the way directed by God. I only hope that my family contiues to be supportive. As I keep going through R.C.A.I.

Longings and wonderings

Can there be peace when I uneasy about the life I've been living. Uneasy about feeling that I have not done what I should have been going to confession. It feels that there is so much that needs to be forgiven. How can I go to confession when I'm not yet a member of the Catholic Church? I don't know. But, this I do, I am sinking and have lost any footing I had before. How I need to hear that I'm forgiven by a priest. I will ask Father today what is the proper way about going about confession. I haven't found anything that say I should not be going to confession.
I better get back to doing the Knights of Colmbus CIS course. I haven't been doing well about keeping up with this. Along with any sort fo Bible reading. There is so much to be learned from this precious book. I long to get going with the R.C.I.A. program. I really do wont to be a part of the Chruch. I have to partake of the Lord's Table. Which is what I am being called to do at least for know.
