Yesterday I had an opportunity to share my story of going to Lourdes, healing, and personal faith. It reminded me of how much God loves me and cares for me, even when I doubt or struggle, or even turn away. I got choked up telling the story again, remembering the incredible spirituality of the place as if it were yesterday. It was an overwhelming feeling I experienced as a child that I still find difficult to put into words. I will always be grateful for the faith my mom had to bring me to Lourdes and for the grace that God showered upon us both while we were there. I pondered that encounter for much of the day today. It was a blessing to ground me in God’s presence.

I Found God today remembering how I encountered Him as a child.
