The Land of the Living

 
"I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the Land of the Living." 
 
 
Dear self, 6 months ago:
 
Those tears you have cried out to Him in your prayers have been heard
 
Your longing for a friend has been answered
 
Your loneliness has been received, and the isolation your heart feels will soon be healed
 
Your confusion if the Lord is the leader of this journey will be answered
 
The example you found in Moses and Aaron was an appropriate one
 
That priest that inspired you is a good one to be inspired by
 
The Lord's love for you will be shown more than you could ever ask for in those requests
 
You beg from your knees now, and you will soon rejoice in the embrace of an answered prayer
 
You believe in the Land of the Living, and they will soon be given faces and names
 
You will know, as you follow his plan, that he is ever moving, ever loving, ever listening.  Catching every tear, every thought, and every prayer. 
 
"Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD".
Psalm 27:13-14
 
When a favorite verse becomes true reality, words do not seem to do justice to the generosity of God

  1. Hi, I just came across your blog and am so thankful!! Can you contact me by email? I am a thirty something mom from Iowa reverting back to the Catholic Church from a evangelical background, where I first fell in love,with Jesus 7 years ago. What you wrote here is exactly what I have been feeling! And Father John Riccardo has been instrumental in my journey.

  2. Hello Lindsay! I would love to talk to you, by email or phone or both! I looked on facebook... and (I think) sent you a friend request so you can send me your email address through a message there. If it's not you, then I am apparently stalking someone else:). If you get it, we can talk there.. if not, message me again on the blog and I will send you my email address through here. Thanks so much for reading... can't wait to talk more! Kim
