Creating
a new theme and design for this site. It was a lot of fun. pop in and visit. Even better repost something from your blog or this site and share it with even more catholic women and bring them back here

“But Jesus is in There!!!”
Daniel was full of energy and mischief but he also had a delightful spirituality that was not taught but inborn.

Pondering icons
I have fallen in love with icons; looking at them is not like appreciating a great painting, there is a spirit to Spirit connection that occurs. Painted in prayer, saturated with the Holy Spirit, a wordless flow of the love, light and most especially and an energizing joy fills my soul as God himself blesses me. I simply open my heart, soul and spirit to the icon. It is powerful and direct; the perfect way to connect with God when I am exhausted. God is in charge as I let go of mental logic and control and allow the Spirit of the Lord Himself to minister to me through the image.
Congratulations on the milestones of your family!
“God is in charge as I let go of mental logic and control and allow the Spirit of the Lord Himself to minister to me through the image.” — Thank you for this. I will be pondering on this.

And yes, I too am thankful God is in charge. I’m working on listening more.
It’s not the easiest thing. But so very fulfilling.
