I was also blessed to get to talk to some people in my life who are very dear to me. On Monday night I got to Skype with two of my "sisters" and one of my "brothers" from my Service Corps family of last summer. I worked with these three and six others last summer. We hadn't talked for a few weeks, or longer for some of us, so it was wonderful to catch up and hear their voices again. We reminisced about where we were a year ago and what we missed, and talked about some things that we wanted to do together this summer. I hope to be able to be with these three in person in a couple of weeks, God-willing.
Two days ago, I took the time to go out and do some creative photography, which was a blessing in that it helped me to relax and gave me an opportunity to be creative.
I was also blessed to receive the sacrament of Penance today, where I received forgiveness, guidance, and understanding of something that I have been struggling with for the last several weeks. God has given me His eyes to see what it is that He needs me to do this summer, and while I do not expect that it will be an easy task, He has told me not to doubt what He can do through me with the gifts that He continually pours out to me. (sacrament of Penance) Trust, always trust. God does not disappoint.
"Glory in His holy name; let hearts that seek the Lord rejoice! Seek out the Lord and his might; constantly seek his face...When [His people] were few in number, a handful, and strangers there, ...He let no one oppress them; for their sake he rebuked kings. 'Do not touch my anointed ones, to my prophets do no harm.... He brought his people out with joy, his chosen ones with shouts of triumph. He gave them lands of the nations they took possession of the wealth of the peoples, that they might keep his statutes and observe his teachings. Hallelujah!" -Psalm 105
