With Your Rule
After Dragging My Feet...
Dear Holly,
After a few months of dragging my feet and coming up with a lot of "not so good" reasons to keep putting off starting a rule, last Wednesday I just began the Rule! I sat down and answered all the questions in each section of the 5 P's and made the Rule. So coming up on a week now, I have to say it really has begun to change my life. I am now up with my husband in the morning. We are able to spend time together sharing a meal. And the joy and enthusiam he expresses at this "change of life" is encouraging. Our Rule includes daily Mass. My almost 2 year old is on a great schedule. So much fruit and graces have already come from this commitment. I just pray for discipline and perserverence.

Excellent. Thank you! I am so glad you are experiencing the fruits of your decision to seek 'perfection within the vocation of marriage'! :-) I couldn't wait to add your letter to the website as it is such an encouragement for other women - especially for those who might be discouraged and suffering from despair at ever getting things in order. I think your decision to stop dragging your feet was the heart of it - it all boils down to a decision.
Keep it up. Don't let the lesson of this week pass by un-remembered. The fruits are an indication of God's intent for you.
