It's almost Holy Week

It's almost Holy Week. Life is crazy. We are busy and Satan is at work.

When Satan fails to penetrate your faith, he makes you so busy, you don't have time for it. Have you ever looked at it that way? That is how it is in my life some times. But, I take this time to reflect and to search for God.

The last two years have been a constant test of my faith. I began to answer my call and begin the discerment process only to be met by no discernment process for the diaconate in the Episcopal Diocese of Washington. It has taken two years for it to be defined. [Thank you Father for this test of resolve.]

We are now to a point where the process is defined and in the final approval stages. I remain faithful to the call to the diaconate and to take my ministry to a new dimension. There have been many affirmations to me that this is still where God wants me to go. There have been equally as many or more detours at the same time.

Today, I take the time to pause, breathe and focus on God. It is nearly Holy Week, life is crazy and Satan is at work. In my life however, thanks be to God.
