Humility
O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me.
From the desire of being esteemed,
Deliver me, Jesus.
From the desire of being loved... From the desire of being extolled ... From the desire of being honored ...
From the desire of being praised ...
From the desire of being preferred to others...
From the desire of being consulted ..
From the desire of being approved ...From the fear of being humiliated ...
From the fear of being despised...From the fear of suffering rebukes ...
From the fear of being calumniated ...From the fear of being forgotten ... From the fear of being ridiculed ... From the fear of being wronged ...
From the fear of being suspected ...
That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be esteemed more than I ...That, in the opinion of the world,
others may increase and I may decrease ...That others may be chosen and I set aside ...That others may be praised and I
unnoticed ...That others may be preferred to me in everything...That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should...
My mom found this prayer at the beginning of lent and we prayed it all throughout lent.
Its a wonderful prayer.
Deliver me, Jesus.

A note from me
I haven't been posting lately. I had hoped I would have more time to but May has been hectic. Seeing how busy like can truly get, I see how it can effect my prayer life or everyones prayer life. Its a constant struggle at times to find the balance between it all and to keep God as our main focus.
I really haven't posted much writing, I want to and hope to in the future as there is a great deal to talk about. For the most part I try to keep my posts God centred and focused on him. To give reminders to take the time to pray or inspire you. And then there is the fun aspect of it all and music. Now when I decided to merge the prayer blog with randomness it was partly because it was too much to handle but also I reach a different audience this way. The blog has been a wide variety and I plan on some changes in the near future and to have more wiring from me... It is a blog and there is so much to share with all of you.

Some thoughts about dresses
Its that time of year with proms and graduations and summer close by new dresses and cool designs. I love seeing some of the really unique dresses. Modesty is important and for many of us its hard to find modest dresses at times. You really don't know what is out there till you take a look.
We don't have to go all out on dresses, we can do simple and still make it beautiful. Our society now days is extremely focused on beauty and self image. And it can be a struggle at times yes, but not sub coming to our peer groups or all that is being shoved at us is important.
Its important to feel good about ourselves and to take care of our bodies. Our bodies are temples of the Lord. We are beautiful inside and out. Remember that in the end who we really are doesn't get shared by how we dress or what we look like, its whats in our hearts, how we treat others and who we are as people.
When I do look for a dress to ware I always consider a few things. I have always been more of a tomboy but as I get older I am enjoying being who I am. With Captivenia I have discovered a deeper meaning of love and being who I am. I love the simpler but elegant medieval dresses that are out there to ware not just as costumes but in daily life.

Prayer reminders for today
Life can be hectic and extremely busy, remember to stop and take time to pray a minute is all you need. It doesn't have to be a complex prayer it could simply be to thank God for all you have today.
