Heart-full

I am a 24/7 happy girl...with a bright disposition. Oh, occasionally I get blind-sided by something; usually it's the result of something/someones' desire to seemingly stand in the way of spiritual development. Mind you, I'm no stellar example of a 'saint' but I'm doing my best to be pleasing to Father...if I can consistently do that then all's well. Almost, that is.

I greatly admire Mother Teresa and particularily this prayer of hers: "Sweetest Lord, make me apreciative of my high vocation, and its many responsibilities. Never permit me to disgrace it by giving way to coldness, unkindness or impatience."

Wow, the way His Spirit moves us is awesome...and I'm amazed at the things he sends our way. God seems to think M and I will always step up and lead. M always has been a 'natural' leader while I, on the other hand, was 'snail-ish' but oh, how much I've grown...could also say, how much I groan, ha! Very recently, I've reached a point in spiritual maturity where I can handle the perils lying in wait for leaders.

Why? How? Mmm, that would be credited to my 2nd love, that would be Michael. This jewel is such a servant ~ he has mentored and raised me up...totally. God so blest me w/such a life-partner. Okay, so my heart races like a fire truck when unpleasantness or hurts zap us, but wonder of wonders I'm able to do like Mother Teresa's quote and believe me I greatly appreciate the faith Father has in me. I will remain warm, kind and patient...that's the way God likes me best. Today, my heart is full.
