Have done my prayers and have just been enjoying my music, have some cd's with morning and evening music, and watching the animals. Watching the animals doing their thing,what is their nature. And doing some reflection on my life.
Some time back we decided to get involved here in our community. It was hard leaving Saint Mary Magdalene. I had a good talk with Fr Joseph Mary, may he RIP, before we left. He understood. He said he would pray for me, I know he is still praying fo...r me up in heaven. Oh how I miss our talks.
Tony has been on team here and has been teaching CCD. (I had just been involved with the Garden Club. ) I had helped at send off and candlelight. I had been asked to direct a retreat, but due to my schedule I had to refuse.
This year I was asked to be Spiritual Director for the Women's ACTS retreat. It was an awesome experience to get to know all the ladies. I know that was how God wanted me to get to really know the ladies. I know coming in to direct a retreat where no one knows you would have been so hard. I have directed ACTS Missions retreats, but you bring in your team, people you know.
Two weeks ago, I joined the Altar Society. Last week, I joined the Guadalupanas, and I will be teaching CCD this year.
Tony and I were talking, and I told him how I regretted not joining before, and not getting involved sooner. Everyone has accepted me with open arms. Tony just said,"It was not the right time."
He was right. It made me think how everything happens in God's time, not our time. God is in control.
Maybe Saint Mary Magdalene needed me, or maybe I had to grow more and I needed all that wonderful time with Fr Joseph.
It made me reflect on how we sometimes want to rush things, how we want to be in control. But if we just trust in our Lord and let Him have control, all will work out according to His plan.
Jesus I trust in you.
