Life has been busy, with spiritual retreats, Eucharistic ministry, writing, and enjoying the fabulous weather. This is a gorgeous time to live in SoCal, and I praise God that I let him lead me here, even though I had no idea in 2011 how I would get by or what would happen.
My religious vocation discernment continues. I've opened myself to a broader range of religious orders, and this seems to be affirmed in how many congregations I have recently discovered. The search continues, but in the flow rather than as a matter of project-management. Big difference, that.
My time as the interim assistant at ICLA is nearing an end. I have applied for the permanent position, but it remains to be seen what will happen. I was experiencing quite a bit of stress over this, but again I've been continually reminded to trust in God's providence. God has led me this far, and I know he is doing something with my life. It's kind of like going on an adventure. I have no idea what will happen, but I know I've got a guide, and I just need to trust him, even if it means leaping off a cliff with him!
Yesterday my roommate and I brought a picnic lunch up to Wildwood Canyon Park, which is usually less populated than Griffith Park. It's small, but it's not too far of a drive and well worth it. Sitting in the warm sun, a cool breeze, the birds singing, the smell of recently-rained-on vegetation -- I felt the breath of God, the resonance with all of creation. Truly a magnificent way to spend a Sunday afternoon. I live for those moments.Today was a day off for the entire College, so I am home taking care of some things, including sending out a job application, and later will spend the afternoon and evening with the Sisters of Notre Dame. A perfect day off!
Praying that all of you reading have a peaceful day/evening. If you don't already do this, or haven't done it recently, take a few moments to be outside in the springtime air and let the vibrancy of creation awaken your heart.
Blessings in Christ.
