Continued Prayers

My wife gave birth to Brielle Elizabeth a week ago on Wednesday, August 19th. Baby Brielle had to be moved to Special Care Nursery because of some breathing complications. So I ask for your continued prayers in Rosaries, Masses, and Eucharistic Adoration for my dear daughter. May the Lord heal her little body and allow her to return home with us soon. 

Please Pray for Us

I ask your prayers for my wife and unborn daughter. My wife is 30 weeks pregnant and her cervix is dilated 2 cms. We have 10 weeks to go before the baby reaches full term. We ask the Lord to allow the baby to stay in the womb to develop. We have our time frame of when we think she should come, but we also understand the Lord's divine providence and holy will. For He knew us while we were still in our mother's womb. He formed us in the palm of His hand. He has called each of us by name and he will complete the good work that He has already begun.  

St. Gerard, Patron Saint of Expecting Mothers, Pray for Us!

"See God in every situation"

I was sitting there on this Saturday mid-morning and all of a sudden these words came to me, "See God in every situation". Lately, I have been worried about my current job situation. I'm ecstatic to be working for a Catholic radio station. However, I'm just concerned whether I can make it financially working off commissions alone at this time. And not to mention news of the current global financial downturn is everywhere you look. I've never felt more useless than I do right now. Before, I had college and a job to occupy my time. I felt like I was "doing something" that would get me to "some where else". Now, since I'm finished with my bachelors and I was let go from my job, I sit at home watching my daughter. Now, to be clear, I find that to be very precious and I am grateful I get to spend this valuable time with her. I love taking care of her and watching her advance each day. I truly know this is more important than any professional job that I could ever take on. But I just cant help it to feel like it should be the other way around. It's my responsibility to be the "bread winner" for my family, especially since I'm finished with college. 

I'm eager to get started selling for the radio station. I think there is a lot of potential there and Toledo has an extremely large amount of Catholic organizations, businesses, schools, hospitals, parishes, etc. that make this endeavor promising. So with that, I'm on God's good humor and I stand patiently waiting for the station to be up and running. And I must remember to "see God in every situation".
