It has begun

Last night was an emotional roller coaster. The discernment meeting process has begun and my ego filled questions, doubts, and certainty happened at various points during the meeting. These are confidential meetings, but I feel like talking about my own business doesn’t violate anything. If someone disagrees, please let me know.

So here’s the anxiety filled, I couldn’t fall asleep until 12:30 am moment: THE FORMS!!!!

There is so much to do when you are in the official discernment process. In the next week/by the end of the month I need to:

  • edit my spiritual biography, but I am feeling like I might have to scrap and re-write the original one.
  • find a spiritual director
  • begin preparing/finalize/present a ministry experience where I felt called
  • send in my SHE/CAP training form
  • and work to work/live life as usual
  • take things one step at a time
  • breathe, pray, carry-on

The to do list, seems to be long, but it is all so doable. The best part is that I got to be number 2. this leaves me to be very forgettable or not. I like not being first, but being early in the process. Also, we don’t have any meeting in August or very many in September. God is good with the challenge and support, for that I am thankful. The emotional difficulties of discernment are not being compounded by the logistical necessities. I am always good with logistics–it’s my gift as an event planner.
