No word yet as to whether the Prioress has received my application (though I trust that she has by now), or whether the letter of recommendation from my spiritual director has arrived yet either. Humanly speaking, my acceptance now rests on the reception of these documents and the mercy and love of the Prioress and her Council.
More fundamentally, all my hopes are pinned on God's good pleasure, and I have two reasons for trust:
- God would not have let me progress as far as I have unless He willed me to persevere and be accepted.
- failing 1, God has some other plan for me that I don't yet know, but He will never leave me an orphan.
Today is Monday, and there is much for which to give thanks, as always, so here goes:
Lord, thank You for Your 1000+x Gifts; for Your Infinite Love!
-The Queenship of Mary :: This video clip from Sister Act (just for fun!)
-breath slowing these last few days :: deep calm :: God's patience :: precious encouragement here and here
-monarch on the marigolds :: distant thunder :: raspberries ripe again
-Grandparents home safe :: newly minted Master's homecoming today
-sister piecing her quilt :: mother making handkerchiefs :: cat's cradle with littlest sister (stalling her bedtime)
-fun haircut :: no more headaches :: blister healing faster than I'd hoped
-Discovering Gruda's Poetry :: new desire to learn more about the Theology of the Body
-thoughtful letters from friends
-the grace to always wear my Grandfather's Pardon Cross :: broken chain quickly and easily replaced
-the Word, always inviting to begin again in faith, hope, trust and above all, love.
Joining the Gratitude Community at A Holy Experience today and every Monday:
Blessed be God forever!
