Today...
I will be doing some baking - a little of it with all of my "little" help. Some, hopefully, by myself! I will be doing some writing as I try to pull together some thoughts I have put to paper over the past months during these very difficult times. I will be pursuing a business idea that smacked me in the face this morning when I got up at 6 am to help my two teens and adult son get ready to leave for the Eucharistic Congress that they will attend today.
Through it all I will have EWTN playing in the back ground, something I have been doing a lot of lately. I have found a great deal of comfort listening to various talk shows and interviews on EWTN. All positive, a great contrast to today's news shows. Also a great contrast to the turmoil in my heart. I try, when I find my thoughts dragging me down, to replace them with more positive thoughts by what ever means possible. While I can not sit all say and soal up all the wonderful thoughts, ideas and spiritual vistories shared on EWTN, I can let them wash over me as I work through the day and seep in and slowly work their way into my conciousness, giving me the strength and tools to deal with the spiritual battle I am engaged in.
Later today, if I think that I have managed to successfully pulled together my writings of the past month in a way that is edifying of my struggle, but without coming across as a pity party, I will post those thoughts. My purpose to sharing these thoughts would be to seek encouragement and even insight from others and at the same time also sharing what it is like to grow in the way of the Lord, while still struggling to meet the needs of others. Many others.
Thank you for your prayers. I do not know what I would have done without them yesterday when we were hit with yet one more blow, just one of many that have hit us since we moved. I really shudder to think what I would have done without your prayers and support. Thank you for your emails and thoughts. I will get back to each of you throughout the day.
