Hello my wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ!!! It has been over five years since I started this blog and what a full journey it has been! I started it back in 2015 because I loved writing and my Catholic faith and wanted to share my thoughts, lessons, and journey over the years. You have all been so supportive and positive and I couldn't thank you enough for those who have been around for me through this all!! At this point you may be wondering if this is a goodbye or something. 😉 Not necessarily....

My Dearest One, You were made for such a time as this (Esther 4:14). I never makes mistakes. Instead, I saw a need and created you. I placed you here in THIS moment, this era for a purpose (1 Peter 2:9). You have a gift my child. Virtues and talents I have bestowed upon you to use for my glory (1 Peter 4:10). How will you use them?
How good God is! Even in the midst of sin and struggle He has the power to make good come out of it. He doesn't make bad things happen. It's our sin and free will that do that. But He is more powerful than sin and can make good come out of it if we let Him. In reflecting on all the "things" that are happening lately, I've come to see the blessings coming out of it. Not that I'm glad for the hardships, but I am grateful for these six blessings that give purpose to the struggle.
