Waiting Words - November 13, 2008 -

This blog has been a blessing for me. Writing is a great release for me. Decades of experiences and ideas are screaming to be released. At this time words must be tempered. The battle ground is within eye sight. It is a terrifying image that lies out before me. Preparation is necessary, and orders are being waited on. It is difficult to be patient. The sound of the drum beats constantly in my ear trying to intimidate me from answering the call. It is not by my strength, but by His, I continue.

Crossing out
earasing
starting over.
black ink
blue ink
pencil.
sharpen
try again
over and over.
the words
are tangled
in the back
of the mind
unable to flow
from the heart
to the hand.
me - 9th grade

My words will wait in prayer for His time.

Thank you Lord for the strengh of your sheperds. You have given hope that there are strong leaders amoung us.“Voting for a pro-abortion politician when a plausible pro-life alternative exits constitutes material cooperation with intrinsic evil, and those Catholics who do so place themselves outside of the full communion of Christ’s Church and under the judgment of divine law. Persons in this condition should not receive Holy Communion until and unless they are reconciled to God in the Sacrament of Penance, lest they eat and drink their own condemnation.” Father Newman

Thank you Lord for the wisdom and example of your saints.“Discouragement, anxiety and worry keep us away from our merciful Jesus. It is an offense to the Sacred Heart, this lack of confidence in His love and gracious bounty.” Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini
