InHisLove726 Posted August 13, 2009 Posted August 13, 2009 I literally had tears in my eyes at the end of the story. It just goes to show that putting trust in God never goes unrewarded! During my reading, I remembered this quote, and I think your story summarizes it: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your paths."--Proverbs 3:5-6 I will be praying daily for your vocation and your debt. I hope that you find the relief you seek. Just keep trusting in the Lord!

tnavarro61 Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 The first time i saw your blog is when you posted the letters. oh, i've seen the journey, and it's great. i love watching vocation journeys (like the nun who live in a convent near us, just received her black veil. she's very happy, and quite shy since people are looking at her always) but anyway, God bless you!
HisChild Posted August 16, 2009 Posted August 16, 2009 God bless you, Brother Gregory, as you continue your formation in the religious life. I too have much debt. Please, let us pray for one another? I will certainly pray for you in all your spiritual and temporal needs.
