I have been meeting with a priest on a somewhat regular basis as he helps me along with spiritual guidance. We talked about things that have happened recently. I told him about the caregiver’s support group that I started to attend. I explained how wonderful it was to listen and talk in this group of people who have a unique understanding of one another. I don’t feel like I’m crazy or a terrible person for some of the thoughts that run through my head. Others feel or have felt the same way. A while ago the priest suggested an Ignatius retreat that I have been doing my best to follow. It involves reading and pondering certain scriptures. Doing this has really helped me to get on the right track – especially being able to let go of situations that I have no control over and to allow God to be God. One epiphany I had was that reading the Bible – the truth of God’s love for us – is counteracting the “stinking thinking” going on in my head. It is liberating and results in more peace and joy.

I Found God today realizing the power of the truth of His Word.
