Where was God for you today?
Today I received some excellent news. The news pertained to the final hurdle that lay in the way towards the realization of my call of ordained ministry. As I reflect back upon the path that has led me to this point there were high points and low points, but throughout the journey God was with me. Today I see God in the culmination of a this journey. Today I see God in the opportunities that now await me on the next leg of the journey. Today I see God in the joy that I am feeling.
For the past few months every communication that I received from the diocese has been assuming that I was approved for ordination. I had a date. The Canon for Ordained Vocations was allowing me to look for jobs outside of the diocese, so from her I got the impression that everything was on track. But today's news made it real. Now that the Standing Committee has approved me for ordination, the final hurdle has been crossed. The next few months will be a whirl wind of events, some of them very life-changing. One part of my journey is nearly complete and for that I am thankful, thankful to God, to my family, to my mentors, to my friends, all, each and everyone of whom has formed me into who I am today. But with this leg of the journey coming to an end I will be embarking along the next leg of the journey. There are so many opportunities that await me.
Lord, continue to walk with me along the way, you have been with me and never left my side, I ask that as I head into the next phase of my life that you continue to give me strength and love. Amen.
