I'm back from Colorado. It was a wonderful experience. Basically I don't feel like blogging. I don't feel like being around outside here. This is however, not really saying anything conclusive about me going to St. Walburga's for the long haul. In truth, I'm more confused right now than I've ever been. Lots of things happened, the Lord spoke to me on lots of different levels, he brought a lot to my attention and illuminated some parts of my life I thought I could hide from.....it was an intense week and I need a lot of time to process and discern. I start my new job on Tuesday and I'm in the middle of taking a break (yes at 3am!) of packing up all that belongs to me in my parents house to move down to the USA later today. Insane, just insane. I had some wondeful spiritual direction today(yesterday morning) for the first time, thank God. This is definately a gear shift in my discernment, I need to start praying and thinking specifically right now and that's difficult because it feels more real when I do that. I'm sure I'll write more about the week after I get over the shock of being thrown back into the world, the shock of the week itself, and the shock of moving my life and starting a new job. I hope you're all doing well.
Peace be with you.

sounds like it was a good time. Give me a call to let me know how it went.
By the way, did you hear that there are Missionaries of Charity living in Spokane now? They just started a house and have been there for about 6 months.
You're back! but you're gone again! I need to talk to you, whenever your settled...Good Luck with the job and the discernment. UIOGD
Keep working through it, you know that God is using the confusion for a good purpose. I'm glad you time in Colorado was good, now bring on the young 'uns! Good luck with your move :)

Hmmm, I just used the word "good" three times in one post. I think I need a little work on my vocabulary...
i second the motion that jess should work on her vocabulary. i guess that's what happens to bio majors all their creativity goes out the window. : )

girl, i am pretty much a catholic. i think people think that i really am one when i talk because i've learned all the lingo. :) i also think there are people all over the world praying that i will convert, hahahahaha!
i know val's constantly praying for our souls, liz!
question: when did "spiritual direction" get outsourced from the role of a local priest to that of a specialised director?
i had a director for awhile (tho he died this spring), and have recently begun contemplating starting this up again.
