....I am about at an "Adele" level of sad about my friends and sis leaving just now. But, I am so glad that they could visit, having friends like that is an amazing distraction from feeling sick and down, or was that the zofran 8mgs q12hrs. We may never be sure... ha.
So after they left, I went to mass and I swear that priest LIVES in my head. Every homily is basically the story of my life... and in a way I am thankful that God has been able to speak to me and help me through this in that way. Sometimes it is difficult to quiet all the thoughts in my head and just really listen to what He is trying to say to me.... but this is what I got out of this week between thinking about studying and treatments and other stuff...
Change is hard.
Father Kris started talking about Lent and how it is a time to change habits and reassess your life. And then he told this story about a beggar who was given these beautiful new clothes from the King so that he could be warm, but then didn't wear them because, well, he wasn't ready to change and the unknown and different made him uncomfortable.
In a way, aren't we all like that beggar? Given a second chance but are too afraid to take it. I hope that during this whole "second chance" that I have been given I will be able to look back and say I made the right changes.
Just like I change my awesome pretty little wigs- and loving the dark redish purpleish one that I rocked last night! haha....
Ok done being epic for a while.

DeleteI guess I'm like the beggar, too!! I must realize that allowing God into any madness that may be in my life is the only way to be truly happy & comfortable in this world and that the comfort of any old habits is really an illusion at best ( a sad & tragic choice at worse)!! Thank you for sharing these insights, mademoiselle!
