I don't know where it's from but I fell in love with it when I saw it. [/quote] It's by C. Bosseron Chambers, one of my favorite artists! He's been referred to as the Norman Rockwell of the Catholic Church.

[/quote] I appreciate it! I've been so busy this week that I haven't had much time to do any praying. I had 3 tests this past week! I passed all of them with 2 "As" and 1 "C". The "C" is from Business Law and I do not like that class. I'm trying to do very well in it but it's difficult because the material is very challenging. I still have a 88.6% in it so I hope I can end with at least a "B." Only 7 more weeks to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eowyn Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm praying a novena to St Clare for you, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 As always, I appreciate your prayers! Please keep them coming! I had it impressed on my heart to email Sister again. I realized that Sr. is so very busy and might believe that I'm still in California because I wasn't very specific about when I was returning. I prayed and asked God to let me know if it was wrong to email her again even though it has been 3 weeks since I last emailed. I got a very distinct answer to press the "send" button, so we will see what comes of it. Maybe God is not only testing my patience in Sister's response, but also my perseverance and persistence. I didn't write anything in the email telling her I wanted an answer now or even that I was expecting an answer. It was just the normal update that I regularly send so she knows what is going on with me. Maybe it will help remind her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
To Jesus Through Mary Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Mater- that sounds very reasonable and prudent how you handled that. I join with everyone else in prayer for you. I haven't been doing the whole novena (I am so terrible at following through with those things) but have said a few Ave's for you. Your peace in this is really inspiring!!
