Spiritual poverty
I have been learning what spiritual poverty is. I really feel that maybe God has allowed me to enter yet another room in my library of faith . I can't explain it exactly, but I feel I am being taught how to leave myself out of many decisions. It's like every morning,I leave on a journey without knowing it's destination. I really don't know how I have been allowed to go this far, but day by day minute by minute he leads me. She leads me. All I know is that when I live this way it allows Him to decide the outcome. In the midst of all of this I have been hampered by a case of tendinitis. The doctor has told me to rest my arm for a few weeks. That seemed okay until my computer crashed. It is now out at a shop. I probably will be another week without it. I really miss reading every one's blogs. I borowed this mac book to see what I have missed. There isn't enough time to read anything only see that I have missed a lot. I almost feel okay without any of it. So, for now I take a break from My Blog, email Etc. Maybe next week I will be back. Maybe at the moment my journey is better unshared. Peace to all of you!

Precious Cup,
ReplyDeleteI like your analogy of 'God ... allow(ing you) to enter yet another room in (your) library of faith'. It is such a descriptive image for me. Often during my morning Mental Prayer time, things 'happen' or I seem to come realizations which I cannot describe either. Or other days, nothing seems to happen at the time but later on, the focus of my prayer crystallizes propelling me into 'a new room'.
I have been struggling with a bad shoulder so I sympathize with your pain; prayers for healing! Thank you for sharing your journey! It is helpful ... humble, generous and wise!
Blessings on the Feast of St. Matthew!
