Little Flowers,Blue Knights and The Little Women's Hospitality Program

Yes, I must be nuts, or maybe this  all will stop me from thinking our impeding financial issues.  We are already running a Little Flowers group in our church already. I am leading Wreath 3. I decided to run The Little Women's Hospitality Program out of my home for the girls, with the all the parents participating Hosting a night. And then decided to run a Blue Knights Club for Special Needs boys--this one I haven't figured out.  Let me preface this by saying this was all God in church today on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.  Thanks to God and Our Blessed Mother.  The things I do are always God-inspired. 

God Bless,
Noelle

I am thankful for...

I am thankful for so many things lately.  I am thankful for the awesome Parish community we belong to, especially my pastor, Father Williams.  Thank you for inspiring our family what the true walk of faith is.  This past year has not been an easy one and without our family and friends I don't know what I would do.  Thank you for being our witnesses to Christ through the dark valley.  I am thank for our parents who helped us and inspired us to keep the faith.  I am truly thankful the husband I have. He is truly my best friend in the world, and has made me laugh despite the difficult times we have had.  I am so Blessed to have him and for God to send him to me.  I feel truly Blessed to have the children I do, true gifts from God.  Despite everything we have been through in the past 3 years, they have never complained and trusted completely in God and us.  I am truly thankful for the awesome God we have.  He believed in me even when I didn't believe in myself. Thirteen years ago, I put my writing career on hold to be a wife to my husband and mother to my children. Well now I am restarting it after God's prompting me to.  Some people in my family have said I gave my career up, but I didn't give up anything.  Being a wife and mother is the most rewarding of anything I have even done, even more than teaching.  Being a mother has been the hardest challenge in my life but I have been blessed my two unique and awesome kids.  I love you all.  The Blessed Mother has been such a role model for me to follow through my spiritual journey helping me along the way, having me take baby steps. She was my role model in becoming a wife and mother.  She guided me back to a saint I long forgot since making my Confirmation, Saint Therese of Liseux, who by her Little Ways followed Our Lord. I am very thankful for those two blessed women who put me on the right track with Jesus.  God Bless you all and have a Blessed Thanksgiving!

Clarity, writing , and hope

The last couple of weeks have been hard on us medically speaking.  I feel like I have lived between the doctor and the chiropractor.  And yet I hear God saying be still.  Being still in the midst of what is going on between my daughter and I medically.  For the past 4 weeks I have been sick up and down and so has she.  So I pray and ask for guidance and he tells me to be still and listen that I have a voice. Maybe this was a spiritual fight as well as a medical one.
For a long time I never wanted to accept writing, because I always picked the safe road for my family.  Teaching was not the road that God wanted me to choose, or maybe I was not spiritual ready for what he would ask me to do.  I am not so sure I am ready but I am writing.  Yes I am writing a book, and freelancing articles on the side.  I realized surrendering it all doesn't mean just some parts of my life. It means all. I finally surrendered it all.  This past weekend His Grace showed me amazing things that I never thought I could have enough courage to do, but I am.  It is such a part of me I never realized I was missing something. I got an email from a person today, who said she loves my name.  She said it is her daughter's middle name because it reminds her of hope.  It blew me away.  I never thought of myself as hope-filled, but maybe that is what God has been trying to tell me all along.  He just used another angel to explain it to me.
Thank you God for the gifts you have given to me.  God Bless you all.
