The evaluation

[zyzyly]

The evaluation went well. I am invited to return for the final year, if I choose to do so.

It was an intensely spiritual experience. The director of the program, a Dominican Sister, has a way of seeing into my soul, and knowing almost exactly where I am in my journey. This used to make me uncomfortable, probably because she knew me better than I knew myself. Now, though, I find it reassuring--a touchstone.

So Arlina and I will continue the journey for the present, walking the path that is laid out before us. It feels good to be taking steps, even if to an unknown future.

I have complete faith in your ability to be a sincere, conscientious, and living witness to Christ's love.

Your ministry is already on track.

Thanks!

I'm glad. Sometimes the best thing during uncertain times is routine, I've found.

I am finding that you can make a routine out of almost any set of circumstances.

i'm impressed! what an admirable commitment to make for yourselves.....and for your fellow human beings, who i imagine will benefit from your very real understanding of pain and compassion.

i met a beautiful nun once. i was alone in japan....so ill that i had to go to hospital, where no one spoke english and my japanese not good enough to explain what was wrong. then she appeared, sister magtoza. she literally floated towards me on a cloud of pure compassion. i was so grateful to her, she translated, and stayed with me the whole time, caressing my brow, holding my hand and just looking into my eyes with her own. i will never forget the love that shone from her eyes.

congratulations to both of you. i hope your steps fall lightly as you walk your path. :-)

No surprise you are on track, you are bathing daily in grace.

Two or three weeks ago you were in serious doubt, how did that go, what's gone on since then (besides the conference)?

I pretty much decided not to focus on the outcome, and just keep walking the path ( I am quite fond of the path analogy).

Every once in a while, I grab it away from God, but I always end up putting it back into God's hands.

Yay!

It is good that you have the choice to continue. And courageous to go on while carrying the burdens of the past year. (high-five)
