I was thinking about that very thing this morning - about my writing, my life, lots of things. And I was thinking how I could agree to God's will intellectually but it wasn't connecting emotionally. I still felt fear and selfishness. In the end I decided I would submit with my mind and wait in faith for my emotions to catch up.

I sure hope they do. : )

Glad you shared that. It's encouraging to know that the struggle is one that is common to many (all?) of us.

That is the crux --and the joy-- of eucharistic living.
Not my will, but His... bending the knee... if it pleases Him, it pleases me.

Yeah, hard stuff... I hear you.

I struggle with that too. I can pray it, but wonder if I really mean it deep in my heart.
