Sadness in my soul.

I have been experiencing some sadness in my soul.  I have a few friends going through some tough times, that I have been experiencing sadness for.  But I have also been experiencing loneliness and sadness of my own as well. 

I have a strong and supportive family (parents and sibling), but my soul longs for more.  I long for the feeling that I belong to someone and to share my life with someone.  I try to keep my focus on Christ, and most days he fills my heart with happiness and serenity.  But sometimes I feel empty inside and a darkness that over comes it.  I know God does this for trails.  I have read many stories from Saints about this darkness or spiritual dryness that arises.  I am not changing my prayers, other than increasing them.

I know God made us not to be alone.

Supplication:

Please Blessed Mother, hear my prayers for a spouse.  St Raphael please intercede, for my soul desires a family of my own, a spouse to grow with and to share life with.  Please Christ continue to fill me with your love and teach me to be more merciful to my brothers and sisters.

Havent Posted for a few.

Holy week was crazy busy with me.  I tried to spend more time in personal prayer and fasting.  I also had about 3 rehearsals for a wedding I had to play the Saturday of Easter weekend.

I was rather dissapointed that I had to play that wedding, when we booked it I had not realized that it was the Saturday of Easter weekend and I was going to miss Easter Vigil Mass.   I also missed seeing the members of the RCIA program being baptized and confirmed into the church.  

I enjoyed being part of the RCIA class, and I found myself growing spiritually stronger thru the year.  I plan on staying involved with the program for next year.
