I reflected before that no one knew me the way I wanted to be known. After thinking about it, I don't think I'll ever really be known the way that I want to be known. Because I know me, and no one else will ever see me or want to see me the way that I do. Additionally, I don't think that I would be completely happy with someone who fufilled my every expectation about knowing me. It would probably be a little uncanny and wierd. I want to be challenged and made to look at myself from a different angle to help me grow and really see who I am to the people around me.
But, I still want someone to be my someone, which is ultimately what I am wanting and missing in my desire to be known better. But, there isn't anyone. In fact, I'm getting tired of myself harping on this theme. I am me and that is that.

Prayer to Saint Gerard for Protection During Pregnancy
Great Saint Gerard, beloved servant of Jesus Christ, perfect imitator of our meek and humble Savior, and devoted child of the Mother of God, enkindle in my heart one spark of that heavenly of charity which glowed in yours and made you a seraph of love. Glorious Saint Gerard, because, like your Divine Master, you bore without murmur or complaint the calumnies of wicked men when falsely accused of crime, you have been raised up by God as the patron and protector of expectant mothers. Preserve me in the dangers of motherhood, and shield the child I now bear, that it may be brought safely to the light of day and receive the sacrament of baptism.
Baby #2 due October 28, 2007
