I'll be taking Teenie with a tour group from our chapel to the Official archdiocesan shrine of Divine Mercy at Holy Rosary Church in Baltimore today. This is where Father Richard Pytel received the miracle that was needed to canonize St. Faustina. More to follow (if between my camera and Teenie's camera we get some good pics).
My boys are Merit Badge madness-ing this weekend.
I'm glad to have this opportunity to see places I haven't seen yet before we move. Still, I wonder if I ought to travel that long weekend to New York and MA a week before we pack out (in May). It is a tough decision. I'm signed on to go, but I keep having doubts. I want to see the Divine Mercy Shrine in Stockbridge, but at the same time, it means being away from the family four days and the chaos of the packing when I get back - almost immediately upon my return, actually. If you were me, what would you do? I mean, after all, it is not life or death and I am moving to Oahu, which is like a holiday anyway. Right?
Either way, going or not, I'll be happy. Either way. I'm 90% going - I see it as going to see places I've always wanted to see since becoming Catholic and being introduced to Divine Mercy and it does not take me away from anything dire going on around here. My husband is fine with my going as long as I don't "freak out" before I go or when I come back because the movers will come . . . trust me, those days will be hectic, but not horrible.
Truthfully, I only have today. What is right in front of me. I think I'll enjoy today first and let plans settle and enjoy them if and when they come to fruition.
Have a wonderful weekend, friends.

God be with you and say a prayer for me! Cathy
Have a good day there, and please pray for all of us!
"...but I keep having doubts... If you were me, what would you do..."
Because this will likely be unpopular, I wish I didn't have it to say. But I do. I would decide to not go if I had doubts. I would decide to go if I had no doubts. Period. Your doubt is a big thing, not many small things.
As for my point of view. I happen to welcome 'simple' whenever it shows its beautiful face. :) ! Also, I trust my own interior red-green-yellow lights.
I think i would go. But you have to do what you think is right:-)
I prayed. I really enjoy praying. I think of you all often while I do!
I have my hubs Okay to go . . . if the cogs and gears are in place, and I have peace about it, I'll go. If I don't have peace (which I do right now and have had, just questioning the timing more than anything), then I can bow out. One extra seat in the van won't be a bad thing. It would be a great retreat with some of the gals going to day and some other gals that went to conference in TX in Oct. that I love to be with. It would be rewarding, fulfilling, restful, and perfect, I think. Well, I know it would. Still. I'll wait and see. And I'll keep praying. I'm certainly not anxious about it at all, and, I have God to thank for that.
