Hello, I love this blogpost of yours. Your reflections are simple yet deep. I'd like to link you in my blog so it would be easier for me to come back, if you don't mind.

I also like what you said to cardiogirl. "As difficult as it is to go through, sometimes it's true that we emerge from the worst of times with lessons learned and perspectives gained that might not have been possible any other way." Well-said.

CardioGirl, I'm sorry that you're going through all of that at once, and I will definitely be praying for you and your family. It definitely is always hardest to "see the light" when it seems like everything is stacking up against us.

I just happen to be reading Joanna Weaver's "Having a Mary Spirit" at the moment, and she talks at great length about how the period during which she felt most "hemmed in" was really a period of deep change for her and important "pruning". As difficult as it is to go through, sometimes it's true that we emerge from the worst of times with lessons learned and perspectives gained that might not have been possible any other way.

It's also true that for most of us, that's not much comfort in the moment and it's tough to look ahead to that while it's going on. But I can tell you from personal experience and what I've witnessed in others that the unimaginable happens every day.

If you want to talk directly, send me a message through EC or BlogCatalog with your email address and I will be glad to dig deeper with you if I can.

Currently I am in the midst of a huge spiritual crisis, that's why I've been going through the Spiritual/Religion blogs on Entrecard -- and how I found yours.

I'd have to write pages and pages to summarize where I am (or you could just read some of my blog posts under the heading Spiritual. Basically my brother is dying a slow, agonizing death from MS and is currently four months into hospice. Last Halloween our priest (we're Catholic) basically came on to me, in my own home in front of my husband. We've written letters to the archdiocese to the council of bishops in Washington and to the Pope, for whatever that's worth.

My point is, I'm really in the middle of some heavy stuff right now and I find it's much easier to believe and have faith when one is not tested.

Oh right, my brother-in-law tried to start an affair with me, my sister didn't believe me and disowned me, my mother is dying from Alzheimer's and I spent a week in the Psych Ward in December.

Again, I have a lot of stuff going on right now and I struggle to understand how God is with me, why this is happening and how I am supposed to "find the silver lining."

Recommendations would be appreciated.

I agree with you, grace does draw out the favor......

I agree with you, grace does draw out the favor... I come from a blog of young catholics in Madeira island, Portugal, I found yours accidentally : wonderful content and nice reflections! Good work! May the Lord always be with you.
