I’m still like a babe in the woods when it comes to Catholicism.  I didn’t say a rosary until I was in my 30s.  I’m learning a lot about the beauty of the church.  Another thing is learning so much about the wonderful lives of the saints.  One particular saint is a favorite among my friends IRL and in cyberspace.  I’ve prayed many novenas to her for a particular intention.  Almost everyone who has prayed to St. Therese has received a rose almost immediately.  I never did.  I prayed and prayed this novena for a long time.  At church last month, I received a little rose sticker to promote life.  It took me about a day or two before it dawned on me that I had received my rose.  But, what I had been asking for did not come.  It seems that God has been wanting to teach me about patience and perserverence.  Today, I finally received the answer I had been waiting for. 

We will have a new little one at the beginning of November.  Please pray for a healthy pregnancy.
