I have had several personal and deep experiences of God. I have heard people say those same words to me in the past and I always thought they were just weird. But it wasn't until He revealed Himself to me in such un undeniable and real way that my faith began to grow deeper. Sometimes it was through a suffering or a circumstance in my life where I called out for His help and He answered me, other times it was simply through prayer where He answered the questions of my heart. My favorite moments from God are when He speaks through other people because it is so direct and in a language I understand. I especially love when He speaks to me through my kids. He uses all kinds of people - even those that seem the most unlikely. He is a good God and He uses everyone and everything to speak to us because He loves us so much. I had one of those moments yesterday when I popped in to St. Raphaels Church to hear Fr. Zachary give a little 30 minute reflection talk to parents. The questions of my heart were right there on the surface of my heart and by just sitting for a few minutes to pause and listen, I heard just what I needed to hear. Holy priests are His amazing messengers and true vessels of Heaven. The topic of the Talk had nothing to do with the questions of my heart but somehow I heard through Fr. Zachary's words and the input of others exactly what I needed to hear to put my heart at ease. That is God's grace at work. After a long and exhausting week, just by hearing what God wanted me to hear I suddenly had renewed energy within me and the peace of heart in knowing that I could keep going.
