Ever Onward.

All around me is darkness, I have no idea where I should be going, yet I can't stop walking.

Walking, walking, always walking yet never being able to see where this path is leading.

I just keep walking in the darkness and the fog. No light to see the path yet on and on I go.

Darkness is all around me and I cannot see anything yet something is drawing me on, on, ever onward.

What is this that draws me ever on? What is the sense of light though all is darkness? Where is this peace coming from when all is chaos?

Even in the midst of darkness, wondering and fear there is light, clarity and peace.

Where does it come from? It can only come from God. He is the source of all light and peace, peace that truly passes all understanding.

He alone is my light and my peace. He alone will show me the way. He alone is leading me on, on, ever onward.

New years quotes

I went to Mass on New Years eve at a church I had never been in before. There was a painting of Mother Theresa above which it said "Find your own Calcutta." Next to her was a painting of Solanus Casey above which it said "Let's see what the good God wills."
These two quotes really stuck out to me because I've been having a really hard time staying out of the future. I would really like to know where my life is going and it scares me a little bit, okay it scares me a lot, that I have no idea where I'm going. I was really upset about everything that had been happening when I walked into Mass. Seeing those two quotes really helped me to realize that A) I don't need to be in the convent in order to be evangelizing and B) It's okay that I don't know what His will for my future is, I just need to wait for Him to show it to me.
It's still kind of hard but I've decided that I need to take a break and so am not going to be posting on either of the vocations forums I've been a part of and have also decided to stop posting on the vocations blog for a while. I have no idea how long this is going to last or even if I'll be able to do it at all but I really feel like I need to try it because I think it will help a lot. Please say a prayer that I will be able to find the courage to actually do this.
