"They Thirsted not when he led them through the desserts; 

          He made water flow for them from the rock;

            he cleft the rock and the water gushed out."

                                  Isaiah 48:21

 I love the Prophet books of the Bible.  Isaiah has always spoken directly to my heart.

As the years go by and I grow in my study and intimacy created with Our Lord as a result. It is clear to me now why the book from the Prophet Isaiah always comforts me.  I have always and continue to seek the Truth in Jesus Christ.  Isaiah had a discerning clarity for Israel. He gives them hope in their hopeless state. If they would just TRUST IN GOD!!!!!!!!!!

The reminder to Trust in God is a blessing for me.  My instinct is to try and guide the boat.  I need to instead enjoy the ride (of life's ups and downs) while Our Lord guides the boat.  Better yet......I need to get out of the boat and walk on the Water with our Lord!!!!!!!  

Love the language Mother Teresa spoke in! All hearts are touched by her clarity!!!

Our Lady of Grace Pray for us!!!!!!

Our Lady of Grace Pray for us!!

       The sacrificial yes of Our Lady to our Father in Heaven is so very comforting to me.  My earthly mother did her best as she raised me.  This enabled me to seek the Truth in the Living Word of Jesus Christ and his Holy Church.  I am forever grateful to God for giving Our Blessed Mother to Christ and His Church!!!

                                        "Hail Mary, Full of Grace, The Lord is with you,

                                        Blessed Art Though amongst Women, 

                                        and Blessed is the Fruit of thy Womb, Jesus,

                                        Holy Mary, Mother of God, Pray for us sinners,

                                        Now and at the hour of death Amen."

       

Come Holy Spirit!!!

"Just Keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming"  There are days that can and do feel like we are swimming upstream like a salmon.... single and against what appears to be the natural flow of this world.  Well I prefer to imagine that I like Dory from the movie Finding Nemo, am perhaps,  swimming solo and doing the right thing no matter how lonely it gets.  The childlike qualities of being so filled with the wonder and beauty around me that even during the darkest trial I am completely loved and being taken care of by Our Father in Heaven.

Today is the first day of the rest of my life!!!!! I can do what I want.  This leaves a choice to be made.  Do I want to go to the  "Good side of the Force"  or will I choose  "The Dark Side?" I choose the Good, the true, and the beautiful.
