Trying to Get Centered - January 22, 2010

It seems I have been amiss in keeping up with my journal. I have been struggling with myself in so many directions, feeling failure more than success, although it could be more in my imagination than reality.

Having dealt with my illness for so many months this past year and still dealing with the residual effects of it all, I have found myself unable to get back to a truly centered prayer life, focus on my weight and thereby my health, and to my music and the songs that God has given me to use on another CD.

It just seems that I'm tired all the time, but maybe, I'm letting the devil win. Maybe it's easier just to be lazy and make excuses.

I went to a wonderful Marian Conference last weekend that helped me at least in mind, regain some of the focus of my relationship with Mary and with her son, Jesus.

I was helping with the music ministry for the weekend with my two awesome friends, Matthew Baute and Annie Karto. Both of these holy people have turned their lives over to our God in service with their music. So, although I wanted to get my CD into some new hands and hearts, I didn't want to jeopardize any sales they would have for theirs since it affects their living circumstances.

So, Thursday, the day before the weekend was to begin I heard the call to give my CD's away for contributions to help the enormous needs in Haiti. I had no idea what to expect.....and for sure, I didn't expect to collect $1620 for the relief efforts!

And that's when I realized that God still wants me to work with and for Him. I have been thinking about my day to day situation and ways to improve these things that I have been neglecting, specifically my prayer time and music and weight management.

And that in turn, led me to Lent. It is always surreal to realize that just when we are packing away our Christmas music it is time to start thinking about Lent. So, I want to really make a promise to do something concrete to prepare my heart for this holy time. One thing I've decided is that I want to give up an hour each evening dedicated to prayer in some form. I also want to spend a designated time to work on my music. And lastly, I want to undo some bad eating habits that crept back into my life since I had my surgery, one being, drinking soda.

So, I am making this vow in this forum to do these things. Are you ready? Have you thought about how you can make yourself a better person in body and heart to be completely worthy of Jesus' sacrifice for us?

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL! - December 23, 2009

I just want to take this time to wish everyone a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS! In all of the secular hubbub, I hope and pray that the true meaning of this season seeps deep into your hearts to bring you peace.

This year has been a challenging one for me personally, but in it all I have been blessed and continue to love my GOD! May 2010 offer many opportunities to love and serve Him.

Answered Prayers - December 18, 2009

I mentioned in the recent past about my boss's mom who was diagnosed with terminal cancer and given about 2 months. They tested her for potential chemo treatments and of all of them only one showed a 50% possibility of helping her. Well, she had a CT scan the other day and the tumor shows major improvement!!!!! This is an answer to many prayers. She is feeling like she doesn't have cancer at all! Still need prayers, but this is definitely good news.

Then, also, there is an 8th grade girl in our parish who was diagnosed with leukemia (ALL). She found out today that she is in remission!!!!

So many blessings for Christmas!
