Thank you for the reminder! One ironic thing was that, I found myself slacking when I got nothing to do. But hey, it's better to be late than never get up and straighten my LoTH, right?

It's her private writings and it tells all about the spiritual darkness she endured for the rest of her life after she started the Sisters of Charity. It is really an interesting book. You would probably enjoy it right now. Hey Jen, have you read Mother Teresa: Come Be My Light?

Setting aside time each day is so challenging which is precisely why it’s so important.

I love praying the Catholic prayers–even though I’m not officially Catholic. Especially when my mind is frazzled and sleep deprived, it is blessed to just be able to pray words already written; instead of having to come up with them myself.

Thank you for sharing this with us.

You are wonderful! I think you can avoid spiritual dry spells by worship and consistent prayer.

I can tell a substantive difference in my day and mood by whether or not I’ve made worship and prayer a priority.

I love your blog! You are wonderful!

I have had to dig deep to make sure I wasn't second guessing about God and angels. Through the Saints and their stories I know He is there.<br/><br/>Fatima happened. Our Mother in heaven came down. There was a miracle. Yet in my heart I look up at the sky sometimes and just say..."speak to me". When I hear nothing I sigh. I want so bad to see, touch, and to hear Gods voice.

My sense is that since they're followed by periods of renewal and sometimes new direction, there are probably things going on below the surface in our relationship with God that we're not aware of even during times when not much seems to be happening.

At this point I want transformation - a real life change, a heart change - but find prayer, arguably the most important foundational element of change, the most difficult to do. Because, simply, the two little ones cling to my legs, call from other rooms, and create more laundry and dishes and messy rooms. I appreciate your openness about the work of it and struggle to pray without the emotional surge. Your post is pushing me to the next step - regular, daily prayer in the midst of chaos - to draw closer to sometimes distant God. He is waiting, and I am ready.

I'm trying to make prayer a priority but it's so hard to get out of that "here's a quick prayer before bedtime" mentality. I'm working on it, but you post is exactly what I needed today. Thank you.
