You are Now Free to Keep Your Eyes To Yourself

Last updated on: May 6, 2014 at 10:36 pm By Leticia Adams

I had a job interview today and as I was getting dressed I realized just how much I fear being immodest. First of all, I have gained about 50 or so pounds in the last 3 or 4 years. This is the biggest that I have ever been in my life without being pregnant. I have a closet full of clothes that remind me every day just how much bigger I have gotten. I don’t throw them away because they... Read more

Fake Apologies

Last updated on: May 6, 2014 at 12:47 pm By Leticia Adams

God has really been teaching me so many things lately and sometimes I feel like maybe I’m not making progress in anything. I try to pray the Divine Office or novenas and I always flake out. My prayer life consists of me begging God to help me be a saint as I drift off to sleep. If I make it to Glory, I will be the Patron Saint of the unfinished prayer. There are other things that show me that... Read more

I'm Gonna Sit Right Here

Last updated on: May 5, 2014 at 8:22 pm By Leticia Adams

I have talked about and written a lot about my friend Homer Munoz who died on May 6, 2007 at 1:30 in the morning after missing a stop sign and flipping his truck into a ditch. I will probably write about him every single year on this day for the rest of my life. The more years that pass, the more I realize what it was about Homie exactly that made me love him so much. He treated me like... Read more

Last updated on: May 2, 2014 at 4:55 pm By Leticia Adams

1. This is going to be the fast 7 QTs ever because I have spent all my writing time on the phone with cable companies trying to get our bill lowered. Ya can just pour me a drink now… oh except that I have to drive my youngest child, Flea, to her orchestra concert, which means that drink will have to wait. And this post will be fast. I already suck at grammar and such, so please excuse all... Read more

Fear Does Not Come From God

Last updated on: May 1, 2014 at 12:08 pm By Leticia Adams

I have had a pretty good week and a half. I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me that I didn’t even realize was crushing me. Part of it is learning to let go of the idea that I can control things. Most things in life are 90% out of my control. God designed life to be that way so that we would stop in the middle of the struggle and ask “Hmm, I wonder if that... Read more

1. The anniversary of my best friend’s death is coming up on Cinco de Mayo. Every year is different. This year, I can’t believe that it’s been seven whole years since the last time that I had a beer with Homie. It just seems so crazy. It seems like a whole lifetime ago. Like a whole other life. I miss him everyday and today I remember the last thing he sent to me in a message on MySpace: Live, Love,... Read more

An Easter Lesson

Last updated on: April 24, 2014 at 5:58 pm By Leticia Adams

Today at Mass Father said “If you think 40 days of Lent is hard, trying being joyful for every one of the 50 days of Easter”. HA! He must have known that I was at Mass today. Usually Lent is hard for me. Mostly because I fail at all my fasts and do nothing to get closer to Jesus and I end up eating meat on every Friday after the second one. (Ok, until last year it was after the... Read more

A Sinner like Me

Last updated on: April 18, 2014 at 10:14 am By Leticia Adams

This year it has hit me for the first time since becoming Catholic that my sins are the ones that hung my Lord to His Cross. I have meditated at the foot of the Cross before when I’ve been angry with someone and had to leave my anger and that person there so that I could get off the road to hell that anger was paving. I have left my children, one by one, at the foot of the Cross... Read more

I have a Confession

Last updated on: April 3, 2014 at 11:01 am By Leticia Adams

Confession: I signed me and my husband up for Obamacare and I’m kind of excited to get to see a doctor on May 1st for my leg and to see my Catholic NFP OBGYN for other things, including maybe trying to get pregnant. I still think that this stupid law is going to bankrupt us as a country, but as my mentor said “It passed, might as well use it”. I think I will blog about it. It’s already been... Read more
