"And dear one, I want you to have this most wonderful love. I want you to see in the flesh a picture of your relationship with Me, and to enjoy materially and concretely the everlasting union of beauty, perfection, and love that I offer you with Myself."

Today, at school, I was really struggling with my sacrifice.  Yesterday, I was driving Steve to the airport (he travels every week for work) and a Kay Jeweler's commercial came on the radio.  Usually, this is my point to poke fun and smile at him.  I honestly didn't even hear the commercial and he made a joke instead.  This was usually an ample time for me to say, "hey...when's that coming, my love?"  Instead, I held back.  I talked with one of my spiritual mentors today about my sacrifice and the first thing she said to me was, "what is he waiting for?"  YES.  What is HE waiting for?  Honestly though, I was so calm.  I gave her my very rehearsed "He's working hard and in a turning point in his career...blah...blah...blah."  This time, however, I thought to myself, He's (God) waiting for ME to be ready.  There's so much that I'm discovering over this Lent that I didn't know about Steve's spirituality and it's only been a week.  There's so much I'm learning about my own spirituality.  God is waiting for us to be ready at the same time.  Until then, and only then, He will give us in the flesh the picture of perfect Love.  

This is a very jumbled post and I'm sorry.  It may seem that I'm struggling, but what I want you to know is that discussing our relationships with God has truly helped me be at peace knowing what God has in store for me.
