One of the curious things about God is our relationship to him. There are many thoughts on this, including Matt Walsh’s salty take on the idea that our relationship with God is verbiage used to avoid accepting the sins we are unabashedly proud of, no matter the consequences. While, he does speak briefly on the […]

Growing up, one of my favorite prayers as a little girl included a traditional prayer to guardian angels. Somewhere in my closet the old picture remains, however as the picture frame centered on a little girl and a “younger female angel” it no longer connected with me. I began to associate it with prayers for […]

In the hustle of this new century, there is little time to do much of anything. Little time to be with friends. Little to no time to take care of one’s own needs. Little time to even breathe, much less pray. Trutfully, how does such a thing happen? Are we merely running in circles, or […]

On May 22, my then boyfriend, now fiancee did the most amazing thing for me. He donated upwards to $700 in my name to a charity organization called Kiva. The next day I went donated an additional $75 dollars on my own to various individuals. Now this may seem silly to you, but him giving […]

Have you ever prayed and then wondered what to do next? Or better yet, have you asked for God to give you some sort of sign, so you knew without a doubt you were on the right path? There have been times I’ve asked him to yell at me if necessary, and then I rescinded […]

August 22, 2015 Although this is Respect Life month, I wanted to flashback back to that date in particular, because something extraordinary happened on a very small scale, so much so I made a note of it on my blog. As I was driving I noticed two birds and one of them crashed to the […]

Last Friday, I had a negative experience at work with a coworker calling me untrustworthy and attacking my character. It was upsetting as the other person on our team appeared to side with this individual and did not want to deal with the fallout. The silent coworker was a close friend and it hurt me to think […]

Difficulties of Catholic Living is a feature meant to attack the problems recent converts, cradle Catholics, and critics of the faith may have. These entries are based on my own life experiences and are meant to show that you are not alone in this struggle. Being a Catholic or Protestant Christian is a beautiful thing, […]

Lately, I’ve been following the advice from a brochure I received in RCIA class called “Seven Daily Habits for Faithful Catholics.” In the interest of full disclosure, when the little pamphlet was given to me it seemed like one more tedious thing to worry about or learn, without actually being able to apply it in […]
