In the last several months, actually several years, I have been "pestered" by God. In some author's words, "pestered" is how they characterize the calling by God to you for a ministry. So, in that context, the pestering is a good thing, although it can be just as annoying as a negative pestering as well. More on that later.
Nevertheless, in early 2006, I came to the realization that God was calling me into ministry in the form of the vocational diaconate. This journey has not been without trial, without doubt, without delays or without the many different ways you can be tempted away from the purpose of God's work.
This past weekend, I spent time at a retreat for the purpose of discernment. I am convinced now, more than ever, that this is the direction God has for my life. I met some really great people who helped me clear the focus of what I see in myself. I know that in this process of following the Father, there are things that will change. Some of the changes will be good and welcomed. Others, will likely be harder to accept.
Regardless, I am focused on God's will. It is crystal clear to me. So, "load the car, we're going on a trip!"
