Better days ahead

Well, as the day draws closer for me to depart, and as the grieving and questions still arise, it seems that there are better days ahead. God desires our happiness IN HIM and WITH HIM and since that is what this new call is beginning to show me, I lean towards it a little more and a little more each day. The trust that had been destroyed here is something that must be rebuilt, and only God could do that. What's not to love!

Mountains and valleys

Life is filled with mountains and valleys, ups and downs. However, as I was reflecting on God's perspective, it could be that since He observes everything on a different plane, that in fact it is not really much different - the highs and the lows. The only consistency we need is our trust in Him at all times - during the up and the downs. This is the beginning of that journey for me, or maybe the re-beginning. One never really knows what is the mind of God as Sacred Scripture tells us, but what we can be sure of is that He is single minded in His love for us. And that love prompts Him to steer the ship of life in whatever direction needed for our sanctification and growth in holiness. He only wants us to be with Him for all eternity! We just have to want that in return and live a coherent life that proves it!
