My journey through my own faith has been one of ups and downs and high’s and low’s. Yet, it’s been one of steadfast trust. This has been especially true for the last 15 years. I can’t say I am this amazing Christian as I fail each and everyday. I can’t say I am this Holy person because I struggle each and everyday. I can’t say I make all my decisions based on faith because I fail each and everyday. I guess I fail quiet a lot. It’s funny though because even through the failure I am a success! Because each day I wake up and start anew and say here I am Lord ready to start again.
So after the loss of my daughter to suicide my faith changed. It seemed to be a slow gradual change from on fire to a slow ember. Lately I would say for the past few years now it’s been dry. I have not read Mother Teresa’s book but I am betting I could relate to her dryness. My dryness has been a struggle and I tend to just go about my day with no focus on my faith. Not really on prayer in a formal way or thought. My thoughts are pretty random and my prayer is too.
So for Lent and I am a late start I decided to get back to the basics. So I am using Matthew Kelly’s Rediscover Jesus
- Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam
Today my meditation is who do I say that Jesus is? My prayer is Kelly’s from his book “Jesus, teach me to never stop seeking you. Help me to seek you in every relationship, place, and situation.”
- Candles for B St Catherine’s Church Italy
I would love to have you join me as I take a journey through Grace and follow me please on my blog and Instagram, Twitter, Facebook so you don’t miss anything. If you would like to order Matthew Kelly’s book Rediscover Jesus
