Eeeeek!

Les is coming for a visit! Oh how I hope and pray to have a few moments with her. Just to be - nothing big or formal. I've so strongly felt her presence, prayers, and care for me over the last months even though our words are few and our distance is great. She knows more than I this life of devotion and I so cherish her love and friendship.

It's funny, as I find feeling returning to my spirit after a long, dry, numb period, I am so drawn towards the things of God, the Church, and her life in a genuine way I have not known since the early days of my journey to Orthodoxy. Actually it's not so funny as it is humbling. I had thought myself beyond being able to return. Not that I have humbled myself as the prodigal, the thief, or the sinful woman by any means, but I recognize the pull of the Lord on my heart. May this lenten journey be a time of learning to truly repent. Psalm 51 is the song of my heart today.
