A Visit to Our Lord

Faith, Prayer Reflections 1 Minute

Image may contain: indoor

I’ve been absent for a while…it’s been a long year to find writing footing again.

The more I pay Our Lord Jesus these little visits, the more I want to stay there with Him and never leave–especially with the way the world seems these days.

But we must carry on.

A short prayer that came to me on this visit:

Lord help me to do what You want of my life
Not what my selfish inclinations want for me
Nor what the world may tell me what should be.
If it is contrary to Your Will help me to know that I may be at peace with the Child of God You made me to be. 

That’s all I got tonight.  The tank may be low for my writing but I refuse to give up.

Please keep me in your prayers and I will keep you all in mine.

Let’s reflect Christ to everyone we meet and let Him touch us in others.

Catholic Geek always learning more about the faith, I help out with youth group and R.C.I.A. dismissals, I've been a sacristan for over 7 years. When not at my full-time job, I'm just a geek and small town 50ish fangirl (Once Upon a Time/Rumplestiltskin/Belle/Rumbelle) and post my fan fiction on Archive of Our Own. Since high school in the 1980s I've been working at finishing a complete novel. My current project aims to be a series featuring Scottish private investigator Ian MacLaren who's a bit like a modern Job, and like Job, Ian and me have learned our "days fly faster than a weaver's shuttle." (Job 7:6) I also love animals (and am the current owner of five cats--Merry, Legolas, Beverly, Scarlett and Tiger Lily) and nature (I love to speculate on the stories old trees have seen). I'm also upfront with my battle with depression since being formally diagnosed in 2006. My pseud, Weaver's Grace, is to put God first (as the creator and Divine Weaver of all our stories), then a nod to J.R.R. Tolkien's pray before writing ("to trust in God to guide in the weaving of the tale") with my love for Rumplestiltskin as played by Robert Carlyle on "Once Upon a Time" added in (he started out as a simple Spinner before the whole spinning straw into gold thing and his 7th seven persona was Detective Weaver).
