Birthday Celebration

So today is my birthday and my brother and nephew are here to help me celebrate.  I honestly see today as just another day and I am not overly excited about dining out, having a glass of my favorite wine or even that I get to spend time with my nephew.  What excites me is the idea of being with Our Lord, I am just so excited that my adoration hour falls on a saturday and I get to spend an hour one-on-one with the Lord on my birthday.

Last night as I thought of what to do for my birthday and the fact that I was not excited about another birthday I only got excited about adoration and the fact that I get an hour with the Lord by myself.  In 45 minutes I will be headed to the chapel for adoration.  I am indeed excited and can't wait :)

As always, you are all in my prayers.

Pax,
Hopeful

Head over heels

Ever caught yourself so happy that you can't stop smiling in the middle of the day (with no apparent reason?)

Well, that is me today.  I don't know why (perhaps it is because I am feeling His love in a very special way today) but I can't stop smiling and "cheesing"  I feel like a young woman in love who cannot wait to see her love again.

My devotional reading this morning brought a smile to my face because it was a reminder of what my SD, my confessor and everyone else has been telling me.  "In moments of failure, I need to turn to the Lord even more"  The realization that Christ loves me no matter what is just to much to bear, I am bursting :).

I guess I'm just a girl in love.

In His Love,
Hopeful
