A sweet reminder…

Matthew 28:20 “Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

The sweet reminder. Father Joe used the above scripture in his homily this morning and even though I’ve heard this particular scripture hundreds of times, it is ever so amazing. Sometimes you just simply need to hear the words that no matter what you’re going through, have been through, or will go through; “I am with you ALWAYS!” Those words whisper, well, SHOUT, a peace into your life.

NOTHING can take these words from me. Jesus Christ is with me always. I am so grateful to Him for these words! Thank God that He is with me always.

A challenge to myself…

I’ve been thinking a bit lately about going to Daily Mass. I work a weird schedule in that one week I work Wednesday and Thursday only, and the next I have Wednesday and Thursday only off. I know that Sunday is the day of obligation when I need to attend Mass and that Daily Mass is not an obligation. However, given the fact that I am able to attend a weekend Mass only twice a month, I am going to challenge myself to go to Daily Mass ATLEAST once a week if not every time that I am given the chance to do so.

I am wanting to learn so much about my new Church and I really can’t think of any better way than jumping in heart first, feet second, and just surrounding myself with our Lord and His Holy Church! Pray that I am able to accept this challenge. I know it doesn’t seem that hard to do, but trust me, with one kid, another on the way, and the thousand other things that Satan throws at us on a daily basis, things can and sometimes do get a bit more hectic than you would think.

Again, this is just another step I am taking in this journey. I am LOVING every minute of it!
