Hope you
had a great three day weekend! I sure
did…
On
Saturday, after debating on whether or not to go, I finally decided that I had
to attend (for my second year) the Southern California Renewal Communities
conference. Am not sure how you nurture
your spirituality, but I really enjoy attending special events because I get to
see Catholicism at it’s best. I was able
to have such a great confession with a priest who really guided me and gave me
some great advice. After reconciling
with God the mood of my day just completely changed… I enjoyed some
great talks, worshiped God in various ways and was spiritually renewed. During a moment of prayer I asked Saint
Therese for a flower and a few hours later a girl I had just met bought me a flower crown! Wow!
Wow! Wow! After that experience I joyfully
closed my day with a grand Eucharistic celebration.
Flower Power!
I couldn't resist!
This renewal
helped me begin my Sunday, with a lot of hope and energy, as I begin year three
of RCIA. This year we have a smaller
group only about fifteen students. As we
began introductions two students had teary testimonies – though the group is
small there’s a lot of need. So please
pray for our ministry. After a morning
of such strong emotions, I picked up my nephew and we headed to the annual
Civil War Reenactment that my city offers every year. We had so much fun learning history in such a
neat way, we spoke with soldiers, medics, musicians, women, General Grant,
President Lincoln… Then we caught the
thirty minute war reenactment and my nephew was just mesmerized by the action. He loved the loud cannons! Afterwards he practiced
his shooting skills with some toy rifles and pistols and the rest of the
weekend he couldn’t stop talking about the Civil War. He even began recreating the Civil War in his
Minecraft game- Aww my little nerd!
With President Lincoln.
We got to learn a great deal about how cannons operate.
I love horses!
Yesterday,
after such a busy weekend- I relaxed.
After attending Mass, we went for a walk and my furry boy got to play with a dog friend. Seeing him happy makes me so happy. After, wearing him out at the
park, we came home and relaxed just the two of us. It was such a great weekend, hope yours was too.
