ok Lord, I hear you...

LOUD AND CLEAR....

I am so blessed with AMAZING, CATHOLIC women in my life. I have been so uplifted, encouraged, humbled, and astounded at what the Lord has revealed to me this week. I know I have a purpose in this life, and I feel ready to tackle it...head on. ( Lord, please keep me motivated to you your will)

I have, for a while now, felt a general withdrawal from the secular world. I wasn't sure why at first, but slowly over time, God has revealed to me a new path in my life. I have always believed that the Lord, knew my passions, and He knew my wants, but this is the first time I have felt him moving me towards something I have a passion for. I am so thankful for so many reasons.

First, I am thankful that he always knows exactly what I need. He knew I need to withdraw a bit from how I was living my life in order to truly hear Him speaking to me. He knew that I needed to nurture my Catholic friendships as this would guide me closer to Him, and join my will to His. He knew that this would take time, which it has because I am truly stubborn. He also knew I wouldn't have listened if I had the distraction of " social media" keeping me back.

Second, I am EVERLASTINGLY thankful for all the little( OK maybe they aren't little) dots along my journey in this life. There have been years of wondering what all the trials, tribulations, joys and sorrows have been for , and I feel now that He is LIVING in my heart, they all have purpose. They have meaning. They have a voice, and its a voice that He is calling me to share with others. I truly feel grateful for each and every one of them, and I didn't know this feeling was possible. I know they have ALL been part of His eternal plan for me, and completely understand how He wants me to use them.

Third, I am thankful these experiences all GLORIFY the Lord. They, simply put, testify to God's almighty plan for each person in this world...if we choose to live it. I am humbled that the Lord trusted me with these experiences that I can now turn around and use them to GLORIFY HIS HOLY NAME!!!

Finally, i am grateful for God's unwavering love for me, this imperfect human. I am honored that He sent His only Son so that I could live eternally in His loving arms...

I ask for your prayers as I embark on what I'm sure will be an amazing journey... and ask only for encouragement along the way.
