New Job, More Thoughts

This coming Monday, I start my new job! Very nervous and excited, but I really feel like the Lord answered my prayers through the intercession of Mary. That means I gotta be good to them. :) I'm so thankful!

It's been a very spiritually formative year as I attempted to change roles. I am constantly humbled by and reminded of my sins, weaknesses. I have so many faults. And every time I do something wrong, I think, 'Doh! Why did I do that? Stupid me.', like Homer Simpson. It's hard to be vigilant of ourselves and the world all the time, but we need to be!

Lastly, I had a dream today, a serious one about a regime enslaving people, committing atrocities, but I wasn't scared or hopeless because someone in the dream kept those feelings at bay for me. The reason I mention this dream is because in general, I've had nightmares in the past that filled me with anxiety, hopelessness and fear. But this time, I had none of those feelings and was able to assess the situation more clearly! It's been a while since I've had a good dream, and this was by no means, 'good'. However, I wonder if this positive turn of events is because I've been going to daily mass.
