This week was very full.
Many blessings.
And today I talked again with the very lovely priest who made me a catachumen.
It was so good to see Fr. L. again!
He told me to learn French, make money and then come visit.
It is hard - of course I would love to visit BC - but I seem to either:
-have a job with restricted vacation
-need to go to Michigan first (family, monastery)
-am not allowed (unemployment rules) to leave the city
-have restricted funds $$
But hopefully someday!
I am officially tired now. Yep. Need some good old peace and quiet.
Will be making list of what I will need to focus on now.
Apartment finding,
French learning
Some job seeking.
Life does not have many breathing spaces but
I am greatful for some really special times
and
that I can slowly ease into the next part of my life.
I am really praying for a good apartment
quiet, a fairly close walk to church
(i.e. 20 minute walk is great),
that is clean and affordable.
May the Lord have mercy on us all,
according to our needs.
I continue to pray for this need: your new home. So good to see you and pray with you in church today. May this coming week bring you more blessings.
ReplyDeletethank you so much E-H! I know you know how much a good home means! we are similar in this way I think!
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderful to see you too! It is such a blessing to pray in church together!
I love that white rose... we used to have a rambling Christmas rose just like it at our front door but Dad had one of what I called his "furry fits" when he would rampage around the garden like a crazy cat digging things up and the poor Christmas rose fell victim to it. Those simple roses are my favourites, somewhere I have a book of rose embroidery based on the collection at Kew Gardens in London, if I was still an Anglo-Catholic I would want to make someone a literal set of Rose vestments :) I do hope you get a nice flat within walking distance of church - that is my plan too.
ReplyDeleteI love these flowers !
ReplyDeleteI will be adding you to my akathist to St Xenia for employment and housing needs. .....
thank you Margaret! I did not know it was a white rose, how lovely... hope that both of us can find something good ... homes though temporal are still important here...
ReplyDeletethank you Elizabeth for your prayers! they mean a lot to me!!
Yes, it's a wild rose, all our complex roses are bred from them. Sometimes if you neglect to prune a rose bush a stem with those simple roses will appear as a throwback.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, does your comment on my blog mean you have a definite new home lined up?
You continue to be in my prayers!
ReplyDeleteLove in Christ,
Juliana
