I was wondering if you could help me find a saint? I am someone who just can not seem to get her act together. Not sure what my problem is but I've got one. I don't have a career or children or do anything truly meaningful with my life. I seem really lost. I pray all of the time for guidance and wisdom but I haven't heard back yet.....maybe God has me on hold? I am grateful though that while I figure all of this out God has granted me the most wonderfully patient and supportive husband in the whole world who is very understanding of this slump in which I have found myself. I am very blessed in the marriage department (as well as the pet department). So, anyway, can you help me out? Thanks!Gabriellehttp://300lbsdragon.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-34494061363304512312012-07-11T05:38:52.600-07:002012-07-11T05:38:52.600-07:00Dear Leroy,

Naming the blessings can be very enlightening.<br />BTW, Leroy, my husband is a farmer, we own land.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-83216464982067029602012-07-10T19:18:52.395-07:002012-07-10T19:18:52.395-07:00You might ask why but I will always tend towards t...You might ask why but I will always tend towards the saved Sister Mary Martha in any situation. There is a saint for lost faith or destroyed faith if it is not some one helping you return to the church after you left it. The biggest problem the church has ever faced were the endless requests for answers for too many questions. ( for example, how many today are all asking one million differfent ways "If I left the Church will the Church walk me back into the Church?" ) I knew of Saint Therese but Sister Mary Martha surprised me with it's much deeper meaning. I have brothers and sisters who own land, most of which would shoot me for saying it. To think there is a Saint to stop the shooting ha ha!<br />-----<br />My brothers and sisters have all but left the church for greener pasture. The church that is the physical church tends to exclude the church that is the spiritual church. Owning land creates a sort of jealousy in most all who try it. "Human nature" wants only what it wants. "The spirit is willing but the body is weak." Ownership wants to reverse this trend and have this read 'The body is willing but the spirit is weak' only it just will not work reversed. So be careful out there you land owners. There is no Saint to save you if you were saved then unsaved looking to be saved, unwilling to take the walk into Church. I wish you success with both your land and your medal.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263815150394027688noreply@blogger.com
