Opportunity
Finished Work
Today was the last day at my job working for the CPA. I enjoyed what I did, though it was more than I anticipated with longer days and a huge learning curve. But when all was said and done, I did learn the computer system, the filing system, and how to best work with my […]
Celebrating New Adventures
My son has been searching for a job for several weeks now after being laid off. He and his family have been talking about moving further east. He actually went out there a couple weeks ago and applied for jobs and looked at homes. On Monday he got a call with a job offer that […]
That’s Perseverance
My neighbors just returned from another mission trip. They had gone every year, but recently the wife had health issues and they thought perhaps their travelling days were over. However, upon her recovery, they discerned that God was still calling them to the work, even though they are well into their 70’s. This time they […]
Placed in My Heart
I watched some of the Olympics tonight. Of course, the athletes are amazing and do things that used to be impossible. And some of the personal stories are heartwarming and heartbreaking. That was the case for Maxim Naumov, an American figure skater whose parents died in the terrible airplane crash last year. He has continued […]
Reason for Healing
I was happy to see another feast day celebrating Our Lady of Lourdes. Today I recounted my own miracle story to a couple who had not heard it. They talked about their own experience visiting Lourdes. Today they were praying for a young woman they know who is battling cancer, going into her 4th round […]
New Job Week One
I was very happy today was Friday. It’s been an exhausting week as I started a new job for a CPA doing tax preparation. I have been learning computer systems and processes for organizing and filing paperwork. People are all different, and so is their tax situation. So while the goal of the job is […]
New Job
Several weeks ago, a friend told me about a potentially available job. Her friend had been working seasonly for a tax preparer as the office person and was no longer going to be doing the work. They were looking for a replacement. When my friend told me about it, I checked into it right away. […]
Million Miles Away
Tonight I watched the movie, “A Million Miles Away”. It was the true story of a man from Mexico who grew up traveling from place to place and working on farms with his family. His dream was to be an astronaut. His family made sacrifices so he could go to school and he earned a […]
Message to Pray
I was so happy to be able to spend some time in Eucharistic Adoration this morning. There was almost an overwhelming sense of peace as I was aware of God’s Presence in that moment and in my life. While I was there, my son texted that he will be having a final interview tomorrow for […]
Spell “World”
I was visiting a friend today when she received a phone call. She answered and put it on speaker. As she was talking with the woman, she asked her if she could tell me about their relationship. The woman agreed and could hear everything she said. My friend was a special education teacher for many […]
