The rhythm and harmony of God's will

This is a phrase I have only heard a time or two, when Ray was reading to me out of a book he owns. It is very powerful. In fact, when I heard it, I had just moved down to Tennessee to pursue a music degree. I have always loved music, loved singing, but had not done much with it until I got back into church life and got started in the choir. This was back in 2005, and now it seemed that God was speaking to me here, in 2011, in musical terminology. Ray had always believed that I was called to uplift people with my singing, but I knew my musical skills and knowlege were definitely not where they needed to be. So now, here I am in Tennessee, listening to him reading these words, after having auditioned for the music department at Cumberland University. I was waiting impatiently for their verdict, and as he read those words, another memory hit me. It was 2009, and a lot of things had happened. My mom was two years removed from her diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer, a family member was battling drug addiction, I was in a relationship with a man who was not liked by anybody I knew, and Ray had lost, inside of a year, three of the closest people to him, and now he was battling problems with his eyes. I went to church and sat there praying, with him and a few other people, before the Blessed Sacrament. As Catholics we believe that once the bread and wine are consecrated, and the priest calls Jesus' spirit upon them, they appear to be bread and wine, but they become the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We keep some of this body and blood at the altar. So I was praying to God, and I said: God, what is your will for my life? How can I help my mom, my brother and Ray? What is your will for me and all of them going forward? I prayed a couple more prayers, then sat back to listen. I was stunned when I heard these words: You will know what my will is for your life very soon. I will show you a sign. So now, to intrigue you and leave you wanting more, I will end here and continue in another post, possibly later today.
