Time

I had my first visit with my Spiritual Director yesterday, it was postponed due to last weeks snow storm. It was quite an hour of pleasant rapport. I look forward to the coming journey with her. This is one time that I actually felt comfortable relating what I have experienced with the Eucharist and also with music. In that she too has had the gift of song come to her. A blessing in that regard. I don't feel so alone with that now. There is someone who also has had the grace of experiencing this and can relate to it. A big difference for sure, especially when those of the faith have not experienced it.

On that note the same can go for those who never experienced upheaval and loss. How do they know how possible it is for God to rectify and turn life around like he did with Job. We had a discussion last night on that. There is always someone in the faith who will say something about helping yourself out. But in Job's case and the case of many who have literally suffered and attempted to do so and not achieved any liberation until by Divine Providence, they will never understand. No matter how long they study the Bible or have been in the faith will they see any truth. God has a purpose in each of our lives, it's placing our will and trust in Him that helps us to see clearly His way in all things.

A New Spiritual Director

OOPs, I published before writing. Wednesday will be a beautiful day, I have my first appointment with a new Spiritual Director. I was told to seek her out after Sister MaryAnn, but timimg wasn't there. I did ask, or should I say my mom asked Father Plasse to be my Spiritual Director, so in a sense I have two now. When I met Mary Lou a connection was found, so a new journey begins.

Sometimes in life we come across people who fit to a tee. I've only felt that once when walking beside another. And that was what I knew interiorly at the time. A rare moment for sure but one I will never forget. Odd that would come to mind, but then again those recall always seem to have their purpose. Maybe as God's way of saying how united we are with others when we walk side by side in His Love. I love God first of all and possible so does that other person. The fit would be one of faith and love of God. Amazing how God joins those who love Him. But that is my take on it, I never asked the other person if this was true for them as well. In this regard it is a man who I am referring to. I've often wondered about the significance of knowing this. Maybe one day it will be revealed.

Well anyway, I let out the exiting news of my up coming appointment, one that I hope will bring about a lasting friendship on the greatest journey of all.
