It's been a long journey and I'm still traveling. So, this blog will be the record of my travels as I begin this next phase of my life. I've always found that I become stronger when I learn. That's something that I can measure and that I am typically good at doing. I don't want to focus on the past - however, it will probably creep into some of my posts as I explain myself - but I want to look ahead and, hopefully, become a better me.
I am on a path that I never wanted to be on - but I can't change it - so I can only "soldier on"and make the best of my situation. Many of us find ourselves on paths that we don't want to be on in life so I am not unique in that sense. I have to trust that God will help me through it. I don't believe that this is where He wanted me to be - but there is that awful thing known as "free will"- so, I just have to trust that He will help me make the best of my situation if I listen, and learn.
So what is on my lesson plan?
1) Deepen my faith - I've become a Benedictine oblate novice
2) A new language - Korean (plus I'm brushing up on my Spanish and Russian)
3) Biology - always learning more in my field
4) Literature - continually reading, reading, reading.
Follow along with me as I record where this pilgrimage leads me. I'm sure that I will have good days and bad days, setbacks and achievements, but I will always have many blessings to hold onto when all else seems bleak.
