There is so much I’m realizing I need to catch up on – sleep, household chores, bills, laundry…and more laundry, family time (FAMILY TIME)…and it’s becoming even more clear that I need to catch up on my God time. Last week I wrote about going back to the basics and recognizing God’s call to meet Him in the quiet. Even through the weekend He continued the message with ‘Be Still’. Yesterday, as I tried to get my bearings through the day and get ready for Cafe Catholica I became agitated and nervous because I felt muddled up inside with having dealt with the woman’s anger the afternoon before.
But upon being led into the evening with Mass and hearing Msgr. Bill Young’s amazing homily he asked us to come up with what it is this week that we could do to make us a better person. Clear as day I could hear God whispering in my ear ‘Come be with Me.’ The warmth of His love wrapped around me and I felt at peace. I prayed the prayer I offer before every talk “Breathe in the Holy Spirit, Breathe out God’s Word” and just from the feedback that was given I do believe God showed up for many in only the way He can – L A R G E. 🙂 I am blessed to have been a vessel.
Today I have made sure I ‘catch up’ on all the things that make this earthly world go round but I have also been spending every second I can to just ‘be’ with Him to give thanks and find the comfort in the warmth of His love. I will say, I think if I hear Him clearly He is telling me to get to bed early tonight. 😉
Blessings
