It is Going to be OK - Victoria Rogers

The main reason I trust the community of IC and the Catholic community at large, is because it came on quite slowly. Since childhood, I’ve been blessed with an acute knowledge of God. I’ve always known that (s)he was in charge, and I needed no convincing in that department. What I had no idea of was that there was a safer and happier way to live my life within God’s care.
'The Lord's will for my life' - Mark and Liz Mussin Phillips

Did you know that when you Google “The Lord’s will for my life,” it produces over 12 million hits?
In June, 2008, my wife, Liz, told me that she was dissatisfied with her work as a Family Practice physician. She didn’t feel like she was using her gifts and skills to their fullest ability. She wasn’t “changing the world” like she had always planned. In addition, she was seeing less and less of our four children and missing their growing up. God had blessed her with being a mother and a physician, and she wasn’t able to do either very well. I was a stay-at-home dad who was deeply involved in our neighborhood, the school, and the kids’ lives. Our children had friends and activities and loved their school. They missed their Mom a lot, of course, but if it were up to them, she would never leave the house! My life was good and comfortable. (Nowhere in the Bible does it say, “Thou shall be comfortable.”) I told Liz that it was natural for her to want to have everything, but someone had to earn a living. I may have even told her to “pick up her cross…”

LAST NIGHT KAREN AND I ATTENDED A HEALING MASS AT IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH. AT THE END OF MASS, ALL OF THOSE ATTENDING WHO WERE SUFFERING FROM ILLNESS WERE ANOINTED AND PRAYED OVER BY FR. SATISH AND FR. DAVE. THEY WERE JOINED BY SEVERAL MEMBERS OF THE PARISH IN LAYING OF HANDS AND PRAYING WITH EACH INDIVIDUAL. I WAS ANNOITED BY FATHER DAVE AND HE ALSO PRAYED WITH KAREN AND I FOR GOD’S BLESSINGS AND STRENGTH TO CONTINUE, SO THAT WE MAY WITNESS TO OTHERS THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST’S GREAT LOVE FOR ALL OF US. IT WAS VERY EMOTIONAL AND OVERWHELMING. GOD IS AT WORK ALL AROUND US.
