I AM SO BLESSED

I had a lovely day yesterday, we went down to Newcastle to see Chloe for her birthday, we went to this cute little coffee shop just around  from where she lives,it was called Vincents. Scones and Jam and cream and a lovely coffee, and just sitting quitely being as a family, it was just so good, to be all together,and have time out.

It MAKES ONE RELISE that you are so blessed,and that each day we should count all our blessings,becasue life is far too short, to to finish off with this saying
                                                                                                      

                                                                                             BE GENTLE WITH YOUR SELF

                                                                                             AS LIFE IS VERY FRAGILE

A shocking day

Nothing went right for me today and the reason was I got up after no sleep last night and didn't say good morning to God I didnt even pray today I am so angry lately just out of sorts
And I feel I need to get back on track with my weight and walking
Please pray for me

Divine Mercy

Spiritual journey with Jesus Divine Mercy
let us not be afraid of the Sacrament of Confession. Jesus is waiting for us there

Jesus said, "Tell souls where they are to look for solace; that is, in the Tribunal of Mercy (Confession). There the greatest miracles take place and are incessantly repeated." (Diary of St. Faustina 144 ..."when you go to confession, to this fountain of My mercy, the Blood and Water which came forth from My Heart always flows down upon your soul and ennobles it. Every time you go to Confession, immerse yourself entirely in my mercy, with great trust, so that I may pour the bounty of my grace upon your soul." (Diary of St. Faustina, 1602)

My journey began many years ago, I had my faith in God well I thought did , but was so scared to go to confession, to the extent I didn’t go mainly because of the fear,. it was more a block or pride, well we all know pride is a sin, and now that I look back I am sure it was pride, that stopped me from being open and honest in the confession,

In fewer years I did start to go to the sacrament of confession, but still very fearful, not trusting in God’s Mercy or forgiveness, there was a block there...How was I going to get through this block, of being fearful of God’s Mercy .its God you’re going to confession not the priest I would tell myself, but the butterflies would enter and I would feel quite ill and the shame , and mainly the guilt, and all I could say was Lord will I ever get over this? Please take this horrible fear away..

Lord I know your love me but I am so afraid help me please!

So I begin sitting in front of the Blessed Sacrament begging Jesus to help me, to take the fear away, telling him how I need to be free of all that was bogging me down...( and was it blogging me down it was making me physical sick!!)

So this one day I was in front of the blessed sacrament praying and all of a sudden I felt this peace come through me it was a strange feeling, and confessions were being heard at the time ,and I thought I will just go and trust in your mercy Lord, but please come with me as I am so very scared!

As I was walking towards the confessional I was feeling more and more uneasy, I knew I had to do this to Because God wanted me back, and I wanted to be back!

As I sat down and began my confession I felt a shift as if I wasn’t there, all I remember is I had got everything off my chest and I felt straight away this peace I have never felt before, When Fr said I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son , I felt so free this peace I have never felt before, and I walked out sat back down in Front of the Blessed sacrament and said to Jesus :Thank you, and the tears were streaming down my face, Knowing that Jesus loves me so very much, the feeling is beyond words.

So Now you cannot keep me away from confession as it is my Refuge, I can last only a fortnight and I go back, just knowing how much Jesus wants to heal me, and I am immersed in his Mercy, each time,

What a wonderful gift we have in this sacrament, and I pray for those who need God’s Mercy and will come back to Jesus in this wonderful sacrament.

Thank you Lord For this wonderful Sacrament.

Let the Light Of Christ shine on you

Easter is the most beautiful time of the year, to be able to renew our faith, in Christ and start again.
Easter for me this year, was very special, I made a few changes in my spiritual life, which I didn't
think I could do, but with the grace of God and hes help I did it, I am a better person for this, but each
day I have to remind my self that it is a struggle, and I need to focus more on Christ, who shows me the
path I should take,

Some times we lean on others hoping they can make us feel better or can solve our problem, that does not work, for me I have to focus on Jesus, and know that he will walk with me through the good and bad days, but I must focus, when I lose focus, that is when I go off track.

EASTER ALSO is a time of family getting together, my family all came Home  for Easter tea and it was more than I could have asked for, I am blessed in more ways than I realise, with my family and friends, I can achieve this wonderful journey which I am on.

I pray you all had a Beautiful Easter.

Time to move on and put the past behind me

Well I am pleased to announce I have lost 1.5 this week, to my delight, I think I should give me self a pat on the back, so what every I have done I must be doing right, so I will keep up the good work. I must say though it has been hard work, very lot of stress I have been under,and sugar levels all over the place, but I have come through it  and will just keep looking forward

 It is Holy week, so I must refocus and get in to a spiritual place, and take time out and just reflect on this week, This Photo reminds me of when I was a small child and I Darling Father used to also go for visit into the church every day, and take me with him and he always lifted me up so I could kiss the face of Jesus, and I recall once saying, Daddy can we not Make Jesus Better!!  I am sorry for Hurting you Jesus I really am..Give me the grace to be a better person.
