This is an invitation to slow down, show up, and spend time with Him in the silence of a church.

]]> When You Feel Disrespected https://catholicssharingjesus.org/blog/when-you-feel-disrespected/ Sat, 20 Sep 2025 11:30:00 +0000 https://catholicssharingjesus.org/?p=2396 We’re quick to walk away when people hurt us. But what if that’s not strength—what if it’s pride? The truth is, most of us hurt the ones closest to us…and get hurt by them too. Jesus didn’t say turn the other cheek because it’s easy. He said it because it’s holy.

]]> He Had It the Whole Time https://catholicssharingjesus.org/blog/he-had-it-the-whole-time/ Sat, 13 Sep 2025 17:46:07 +0000 https://catholicssharingjesus.org/?p=2392 Everything started going right—my kid, my back, a relationship, even a business opportunity. And I found myself asking: What did I do to make this all happen? The honest answer? Nothing. God did it all. And He reminded me: “I’ve got this, Dan. You just need to trust Me.”

]]> I Thought I Was Just Tired… But the Devil Was Winning https://catholicssharingjesus.org/blog/i-thought-i-was-just-tired-but-the-devil-was-winning/ Sat, 23 Aug 2025 15:18:22 +0000 https://catholicssharingjesus.org/?p=2218 I thought I was just tired. But it turns out I was slowly giving up ground—and the devil was loving it. God didn’t let me stay there. Through a friend's question and Paul’s words to Timothy, He reminded me: the fire won’t rekindle itself. We have to fan it. And I knew exactly where to start.

]]> When God Says “Yes”… Just Not the Way You Expected https://catholicssharingjesus.org/blog/when-god-says-yes-just-not-the-way-you-expected/ Sat, 09 Aug 2025 11:24:00 +0000 https://catholicssharingjesus.org/?p=2151 I thought God was calling me to walk 500 miles across Spain. Turns out, He was calling me to something deeper—and much closer to home. This week, I learned that when God says “yes,” it might not look anything like you expected.

It happens in the small, repeated choices—prayer, patience, kindness, truth. Paul’s words reminded me this week: it’s the little moments that move us closer to Jesus… or further away.

This week, God reminded me how much we need quiet time with Him each day… and how desperately our kids need to see it too.

But God reminded me—He loves impossible situations. Not because He wants us to struggle, but because they’re the moments we finally let go, trust Him completely, and watch Him do what only He can do.

]]> The Hole That Love Built https://catholicssharingjesus.org/blog/the-hole-that-love-built/ Tue, 24 Jun 2025 16:18:00 +0000 https://catholicssharingjesus.org/?p=2019 I woke up from a dream where Susie died—and the grief felt so real, it left a hole in me I couldn’t explain. Weeks later, God showed me what carved that hole. It wasn’t just love or joy—it was the hard stuff we lived through. And it changed how I see both marriage and faith.

]]> The Key Isn’t Willpower. It’s Avoidance. https://catholicssharingjesus.org/blog/the-key-isnt-willpower-its-avoidance/ Sat, 03 May 2025 12:52:21 +0000 https://catholicssharingjesus.org/?p=1781 I tried to fast, failed, and felt like a mess—until God showed me something better than willpower. It’s not about fighting temptation. It’s about avoiding it, bouncing your eyes, and turning to Him—especially through Mary.
