Discerning God's Call
As I say
“yes” to God and Dominican life each day, I step out in trust. Because God is
faithful I trust that God is with me in
the ups and downs of life.
I believe
that God’s will for us is fullness of life. I hold onto God’s promise in Isaiah
43:1-5: “Do not be afraid, I have called you by name, you are mine. When you
pass through rough waters, you will not drown; when you walk through fire, you
will not be destroyed. . .for I am with you. . .You are precious in my eyes, I
love you!”
Discernment
is not easy. Sometimes I wish that God’s call would be more direct and clear.
Yet God speaks to us in many different ways—through thoughts and feelings, other people and events, through nature, from
insights that come from readings, talks, scripture, music. God’s call is
revealed in a myriad of ways.
As a
spiritual guide I companion others on their sacred journey. I am in awe that
God’s grace is so abundant. Gratitude is my natural response. I hope that you
listen to your heart where God dwells in a special way. Find what resonates in
your heart. Remember, fullness of life is God’s desire for you.
