When I was a young Catholic mother, surrounded by a crew of little people, I was overwhelmed by the pressure to raise children who were not only faithful Catholics but polite, well-mannered, intelligent, well-read and socialized. I faced unrelenting chores day in and day out, with little or no time to even think of meeting my own needs. It was a good day if I managed to brush my teeth and wash my face hours after dragging myself out of bed in the morning. I felt sorry for myself.

As I was reflecting on my blog post topic for this month with you all, the Good Lord landed some great insights in front of me to re-inspire my love for my vocation. You see, with a busy mission and being in the weeds of entrepreneurship (or Catholicpreneurship as we like to call it) it is easy for me to want to run away from the true call of my vocation, or at least down play its amazing dynamism in the salvation of my soul and that of my family. So today I want to unpack with you some deep thoughts for you who are married and anyone in discernment of marriage — primarily to wake me up from my slumber and hopefully offer you some value in the time you spend reading this.

As a little girl, I got excited about commonalities I shared with my crushes. Michael had two older sisters like I did! Jimmy watched the same TV show I watched last night! It was silly, but it made me excited to think that I had a connection with them, however trivial. It may be this same sentiment that led me, as a nutritionist, to the idea of Jesus being “The Good Nutritionist.” Sure, Jesus’s primary mission was not to improve His people’s physical health through their food choices, but I like to think he was at least hinting at it. Let’s explore a few passages.
