Well, what a storm we had this evening ! It blew in and out in a short, violent time.
Haven't had a chance to write lately. I am finding it difficult to find enough time in the day and evening these days.
It is a busy season and will be so for the next month and a half. But, very enjoyable and worthwhile.
I am staying up to do things I have not been able to get done today. I am enjoying my days and evenings like I never have in the past.
I am putting in volunteer time with a charitable organization that I am very taken with. It is well run, helps people right here in our city and has been caring for others in need for 27 years.
The organization is Christian Community Service Center and 27 years ago began with Emergency Services and attracted 6 area churches who donate necessities for those who are in need of basic things.
Now, they operate 7 programs and have 37 area, multi-denominational churches who volunteer and donate.
The mission of Christian Community Service Center is to serve the poor, hungry, disabled, and otherwise needy while respecting their religious, ethnic or cultural differences.
CCSC serves the innercity of Houston. A very densely populated area.
I am Grateful and Thankful...
to feel so alive and fulfilled right now
that I am getting more involved during Lent (prayer, fasting and charity)
Precious and her beautiful spirit
God's Grace
the gift of faith
my understanding and reliance upon the Lord has been growing and becoming stronger since September - thank you RCIA
that the RCIA team has directed my study and interest
that I have eagerly done the work
for the suggestion to read The Purpose Driven Life - by a cashier at Wholefoods
the above book goes right along with the goal of Lent- an awesome message and easy to read
that I am a new person in Christ
yes, Born Again/Born for the First Time (?). I just know that I have given up an old way of living for a new way of living and it is a comfortable fit !
I am not living for ME, I am living for The Lord - finally !

What a wonderful weekend. I have had a nice day. Church and came home and ate lunch. I have stocked up on some things to eat on the days of fasting and abstinence during Lent and Easter.
It is a very exciting time for me. I have been studying and really working to learn the Order of the Mass, what it means to be a Catholic and so many other exciting and interesting concepts and practices of my new Faith.
My full Communion (Confirmation) into the Catholic Faith will be Sunday, May 4th at the 11:00 am Mass. I was Baptised in the Baptist Church when I was 12 years old. There is only one Baptism for Christians.
I have begun recycling paper, plastic and cans recently. I am involved in a charitable organization and truly excited about helping our Houstonians have better lives. I am working with Christian Community Service Center. We serve a large densely populated area in the inner-city of Houston. We have 7 exciting and worthwell service branches and many churches in the area are involved. All are different denomination, congregational churches.
I am happier than I've been in a very long time. I enjoy what I am doing and the doing has changed me in so many ways.
I am Grateful and Thankful...
for life itself
for miracles
Precious
God's Grace
58 years of a Blessed life
thank YOU
