Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life. I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.’” – Ezekiel 37:4-5

With each element of this year, I have tried to accept the messages that the brain has attempted to send back down to my heart; however, there have been many occasions where my heart has continued to defy gravity.
Make Straight My Path
In my counseling sessions this month, my focus has revolved primarily around my desire for linear living. Problem is, life isn’t linear and, for a control freak like me, that is incredibly difficult to wrap my mind around. Healing isn’t linear. Grief isn’t linear. Learning isn’t linear. Love isn’t linear. You name it, I can’t control it.

Whether it was my baptism, the baptism of my children, the exchange of my marital vows on the altar, my anointing in a triage unit in the emergency room, or a funeral Mass, it was in those moments that He climbed down into my life and met me in my joy, in my grief, in my hope, in my loss, and in my humanness and He imparted on me more of Him, so I could have less of myself. And, thank God for that.
