The Ninth Day of the Novena for Pentecost
I think I must be doing something very, very right.. because last night I was on the home stretch of getting our community newsletter finished to send to the Printer and I was so close I could feel the tension sort of slipping off into space (this is a project long overdue). And then this morning when I turned on the computer…. it gave me this message (translated from computer speak).. . “I have died. Deal with it!”
Ever notice how totally unfeeling computers are when they leave messages?
So… I know I must be doing something right… because - why else would I be tormented like this?
But the good thing… is I really am not that upset about it. Really. I mean - it’s in God’s hands and if He doesn’t want me to get my work done.. when I should be getting it done (or rather when I think I should be getting it done). So be it. Fine. I can handle it.
I actually feel joyful.. like wow.. maybe this surrendering everything to God is really sinking in! Of course I do hope our dear Lord doesn’t push it.
I have spent the whole day dealing “with it” and having some one to come in to help me “deal with it” and so far - its still not dealt with.
At any rate - it may take me a bit longer to get to the book title sorting… I am working on this teeny, tiny notebook (mini laptop) and its hard to do work of any sort like that
But Oh Well ... when it happens…
Oh! gosh .. I hope I can get the Spirit E-book done! Forgot about that!
Well.. we will just see.. that is all we can do….. Like Padre Pio would say, “Pray, Hope and Don’t Worry.”
