Summary
"I saw myself from above, as God would see me. Through His eyes. He looked at me with such love, and I became aware of all the little ways that He is talking to me."
----------
Julianne from Ireland is back.
The song that bubbled up in my head this week that takes me to her story is called Promises, Promises. Spiritualized, it speaks to the choice of which promise we grabbed for in this life.
Three years after sharing her battle with alcohol and Our Lady's call to "keep Jesus first," she returns with a new baby, a new home, and a new perspective. The struggle remains--but through St. Thérèse and daily surrender, she's learning that God gives us exactly what we need… for today.

| 1:38.3 | But then there's this other kind of promise, the kind that can bring you joy and hope and love. Okay, so what does that take me to? |
