Anniversary of Vows

Years ago, on August 29 I made my first vows as a Sisters of Divine Providence. Five years later on the same date, I made my final vows. It has been quite a journey since then with many ups and downs and surprises. I have done things that I never thought I would do and accomplished things I did not know I was capable of doing. I have been places I never know I would go and found myself enriched and challenged in the process.

I am thanking God for all the good times and the struggles of my life and asking that I grow daily in the knowledge that God provides for me with tender love. I am also praying that I will love God more faithfully and deeply and that I will rejoice in knowing the nearness of God.

Blog reader, I ask you to pray with me today in gratitude and to ask God to bless us with more women who want to witness to God's providential care, to grow daily in trust of God and who desire to abandon themselves completely into God's loving hands.
