TRUST GOD ONE DAY AT A TIME! &
“PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! ”

Never let anything so fill you with sorrow as to make you forget the joy of the Christ risen...Mother Teresa

BELIEVE
To believe is to know that every day is a new beginning.It is to trust that miracles happen, and dreams really do come true.To believe is to see angels dancing among the clouds,To know the wonder of a stardust sky and the wisdom of the man in the moon.To believe is to know the value of a nurturing heart,The innocence of a child’s eyes and the beauty of an aging hand,for it is through their teachings we learn to love.To believe is to find the strength and courage that lies within us.When it is time to pick up the pieces and begin again.To believe is to know we are not alone,That life is a gift and this is our time to cherish it.To believe is to know that wonderful surprises are just waiting to happen,And all our hopes and dreams are within reach.If only we believe.

St. Ignatius of Loyola

Take, Lord, and receive all my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and my entire will, All I have and call my own.

You have given all to me. To you, Lord, I return it.

Everything is yours; do with it what you will. Give me only your love and your grace, that is enough for me.

Lead Me Lord

How often I need to return to The Source.
The Truth.
The One.

He knows everything about me.

From nothing I was created by God and for everything I can trust him. I can trust God as my Loving Father as God is the only one who knows everything about me. He knows even the deepest of my heart, my happiness and my sorrows, my laughter and my tears.
He is the one who gives me the strength that I need, the grace that keeps me going.

I just am so in awe with God. I love him because he loved me first.

Teach Me Your Ways, O Lord

Every day we have the opportunity to open our lives up to God and allow him to tune our hearts up in total unity with his own heart.
The Hymn writer had it right when he wrote the words....

Teach me Thy way, O Lord

Teach me Thy way, O Lord, teach me Thy way!
Thy guiding grace afford, teach me Thy way!
Help me to walk aright, more by faith, less by sight;
Lead me with heavenly light, teach me Thy way!

When I am sad at heart, teach me Thy way!
When earthly joys depart, teach me Thy way!
In hours of loneliness, in times of dire distress,
In failure or success, teach me Thy way!

When doubts and fears arise, teach me Thy way!
When storms overspread the skies, teach me Thy way!
Shine through the cloud and rain, through sorrow, toil and pain;
Make Thou my pathway plain, teach me Thy way!

Long as my life shall last, teach me Thy way!
Where’re my lot be cast, teach me Thy way!
Until the race is run, until the journey’s done,
Until the crown is won, teach me Thy way!

Benjamin M. Ramsey, 1919.


Thinking of everyone who is hurting right now because of the tornado.
I am saddened to hear of all the destruction and lives lost.
Please, keep everyone going through this rough tornado season in your thoughts and prayers!

May Every Breath Be A Prayer


Prayer is available to us with every breath.
Breath prayer is a meditative prayer in which we pause, slow down and focus on God’s presence. The repetition allows us to ponder our words deeply, to feel it them in the core of our being. The short phrase is prayed in rhythm with ones breathing so that, in a sense, we are praying our petition or praise with the very rhythm of life. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 says, “pray continually.” As our prayer becomes as natural as breathing, we may be able to pray without ceasing. Our breathing becomes a prayer. Breath prayer helps me stay connected to God all day. It soothes my heart and sings to my soul.

Here’s a simple breath prayer to try today:
As you breathe in, silently say: Your Kingdom Come
and as you breathe out, say: Your will be done
Do this as often as you remember throughout the day.
Other examples are….
“In you, Lord, I put my trust,” “Help me understand your ways, Lord,” “Lord I am yours,” and “My Lord and my God.” The idea is to pick a meaningful phrase and repeat it until it becomes a part of your being.
