Most of my inspiration comes from the instruments the Lord
sends me. Today, I was inspired by Fred to deepen my faith.
His fervor for the Bible brought back memories of the times
where I had the opportunity to read the Bible, when there
was a time he sends me his messages every day, so when I
went to St. Paul today, I bought a lot of books... I bought
a bible concordance, a bible handbook, liturgy of the
hours - Christian Prayer Book (the kind of book that
Priests, Nuns, Monks, Mystics, Lay people use for prayer
for more than centuries ago) and a book about the life of
Blessed Mother Teresa. (The latter part an inspiration that
sprung out from a scrapbook I did for a great friend of
mine and I was able to take a look at it again and saw
Blessed Mother's picture in the scrapbook because at that
time she really inspired us.) I am grateful for the chance
to buy these books... they not only deepen my faith, but
are great references when the Spirit moves me to pray for
myself and other people and develop a relationship with my
Lord in a deeper sense. I realize that I am maturing
slowly. A friend of mine commented that I matured, yet no
matter how I think, I still feel I am a child who attunes
to God for guidance. Without Him, I know I am truly
nothing. I also feel that I can not defend my faith in the
truest sense so I am trying to learn as much as I can and
to have this opportunity of loving God every day. I pray,
God, that you will continue to inspire me. In other cases
that I feel so far from you, may I go back to You and love
You again...
