Your prayers mean so much to me and just reading that you prayed lifted my spirits tremendously. <BR/><BR/>The image of The Virgin of the Sign is beautiful. It immediately brought to mind something that I talked about in one of my posts (http://allyouwhohope.blogspot.com/2008/01/more-on-hope-post-surgery.html), where the Intercessors of the Lamb told me that while in prayer they envisioned Mary handing me the baby Jesus. This image felt to me like she was offering Jesus to me to, as your put it in your post, "bring him forth into the world."<BR/><BR/>A dear friend of mine is a Secular Franciscan and she is one of the most saintly people I know. Thanks again for your prayers and I'll be checking out your blog from now on too!Kareyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06322075168200033307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4711387822362164164.post-39171253298083482362008-02-02T12:13:00.000-05:002008-02-02T12:13:00.000-05:00One image I'm always had is of a paved trail, weav...One image I'm always had is of a paved trail, weaving and winding through the trees of the forest.<BR/><BR/>I always have pictured myself wanting that straight line to God. But I also know that in reality (in my humanness), my path will always be turning and bending. I just hope the Holy Spirit will always keep my on that path and make it straight (Prov. 3:5-6).<BR/><BR/>I love your description and picture by the way!Cow Bike Riderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517466803936377885noreply@blogger.com
