Life is very interesting these days. I am now an assistant 2nd grade Catechist at my parish AND am the Respect Life Co-ordinatoor (you email the archdiocese about one thing and you wind up having a title?). I am very excited about both of these things, quite excited about everything that is going on in my life...but something inside me seems off balance.
I often feel like hopping a plane and going to Texas, like right NOW--- part of me wishes I lived closer to my new home! It is so far away and so expensive to travel all willy nilly. This past week, for some reason has been especially hard...and I am really having a hard time explaining or understanding this. When I think of how far way entrance is, I start to tear up (its a great amount of time for family and friends, but for me...sooo long) wishing it were next week!
My God-daughter and I will visit in April, and even that seems too far away. I guess it's probably because I have wanted to be with God in this way for so long, and I am finally close to having it but it will NEVER be close enough, well maybe if it were next week it would be!
I guess I will just have to offer up my yearning and continue on with the patience that God has graced me with---as hard as it might be!
God Bless You ALL!

And what a great opportunity for patience -- YES! that lifelong gift we all need. I'm excited for you as you prepare for your entering the Panhandle Franciscans. Every bit of waiting is precious and another step in your growing relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. The good part of that is that this Jesus Christ is already with you and a part of your evolving "patient self."
Love, Sr. Carmel Therese
