Mood:  happy

I am sooo happy and peaceful.  I will officially become a postulant on Sunday.  God is good!

I've been doing an aweful lot of reflection lately, and these thoughts are the fruits of that reflection:

I wrote a poem based on Luke 1:38... "I am the handmaid of the Lord.  May it be done to me according to your word."  Here it is!

God, I'm scared...

Why do I feel that I've got to question everything?

                     What if I can't do it?

Why do you call?  I need the strength...

                      and determination...

to be like Mary.

She didn't understand Your plans...

or Your motives.

Yet she surrendered...

her will

          her mind

                       her body

                                 her heart...

Your will be done.

                        I am the handmaid of the Lord.
