Hmmmm…
I haven’t posted since March. I was actually thinking it had been longer than that…seems like forever! I wanted so badly to vent on here the other day, but talked myself out of it because I didn’t think it was right to air my dirty laundry. Now I can’t even remember what was bothering me. There are certain things that I try to write down so that I won’t forget. I guess it’s a good thing not to write down the “bad” things or situations or people that bother me. There’s no need to look back and remember those things! I’d much rather look back and remember the cute things my sweet Caleb does or the nice things my husband and family do for me. And, if by chance, my children read my writings someday, I’d much rather have them reading the “good” things about their mother’s life.
I decided at the end of Lent to begin a cycle of Novenas, beginning with the Divine Mercy Novena that is traditionally prayed between Good Friday and Easter Sunday. Since then I have prayed a Novena to St. Dymphna, St. Joseph, and am currently praying the Holy Spirit Novena in preparation for Pentecost this Sunday. The Novena prayers have really helped me to have a sense of peace and calm. There is plenty going on in our lives right now to be upset, nervous, fretful and fearful of, but instead I just feel peaceful and calm. I am trusting that God is in control and that He will provide for our family. After all, He hasn’t let us down yet.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. Proverbs 3:5
