magic in the air
my life is hectic and peaceful
miracles happen literally everyday with my kids
as the world shatters into pieces and broken people try to break more people
the place...country and time we live is so backwards
my heart breaks for the universe more than once a day
but im part of a tiny little universe
and in this little world of mine, Jesus means Hope
He helps me have patience and lets me love these broken children
He strengthens me just enough to give my babies Hope
Hope, capital H.... even if i have none
if im not meant to be a mother and have my own family...
then this is seemingly my calling
to mother those who have been without love
miracles happen people
in the blink of an eye, i can see the heart of a child, reawaken
as one child shares about the gifts of the eucharist he cries
another goes to confession with us for the first time in ten years
everything about my lenten journey was wonderful and magical
my easter was amazingly rewarding this year
i can only thank god for these pockets of beauty
because they make all the other things in my daily grind unimportant
i have been filled with the desire to leave houston
to challenge myself and conquer the world
and personally i believed it was beyond necessary
but god has seen it otherwise
all the law schools i have applied to in chicago and cali and Sanantone...
rejections
looks like im here in houston for the next three years
those law schools here in the lovely city of houston, still no reply
it has not been too disheartening
i realize that im going to be here surrounded by loved ones
thats makes it okay
im used to the idea now
just a bit heart broken
i love my family
i love my friends
i just needed or wanted something else
some sort of opportunity to go outside myself
i guess law school will have to be that challenge, right here in houston.
but who is to say that its about what i want
in three years i wont even know who i am today
in three years i will be battling other demons
and the fact that i have had vivid dreams of chicago is not for nothing
pray for immigrants
pray for our families
pray for our friends
pray for coal miners
pray for iran and iraq
pray for all soldiers
pray for peace
peace and love
