Feeling like prayer is a checklist lately? Time to stop and just love God today - it's all about love.

Do you ever think that you don't deserve to be loved, especially from God? Do you hear those negative voices telling you how horrible you are - what you did, what you said and that God couldn't possibly love you? Yeah, I have been struggling with some thoughts that have haunted me and today was a pivot point. I have been reading the book Unbound by Neal Lozano and realizing EVEN MORE NOW that those negative thoughts are NOT OF GOD - they are of the EVIL ONE! And guess what, you can stop them!  Listen in....and check out the book, too! (Yes, my Spiritual Director said it was a good book!) There is GOOD and EVIL and we are in the battle of our lives people - time to pay attention and arm yourself for the fight with the best tools possible and follow the light, peace and love of God! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/reality-reflections/support

It took me a long time to understand Mary's role in the Church and in my life. On today's Feast Day of her Assumption into Heaven (body and soul), I thought I would share a little bit of my struggles, epiphanies and resources to help you understand we do not worship her (that would be idolatry) but we do love and ask for her help to get us to Jesus.

Do Not Be Afraid! Uh, it says that 365 times in the bible for every day of the year. But a lot of us are afraid to speak about out Faith, especially if we are Catholic. I shared some resources with a dear friend who I love SO much...he may get ticked off and tell me not to shove my religion down his throat. I hope he doesn't but I can't live with myself without sharing what I believe...I am ready to risk my friendship, but pray he understands my heart and that it comes from the love I have for him.

You know, I struggled with a focus for today's podcast. So I just decided to let the Holy Spirit take this one and run with it..... But hey, I had to give it a title, so You are YOU - unique and God's got a plan for you and your life. Try not to compare your journey with others and do your best to let your will subside and let the Holy Spirit take over. I sure hope this makes some sense!
