Growth

Facing new chapters in life; in this adventure of walking with God, Father Son and Spirit.

I live at the core of a powerful city in the world and every day I see the world walk past me in peoples of all nations, the poor, the rich, and the 'average people' like me and all the others.

It's hard not to succumb to the pressures I sense every day. Pressures to be something more, something other than I am. Pressures to have something else, something other than I really need.

Teresa of Avila, my mother on Mt. Carmel, she wrote, "the one who has God lacks nothing. God, alone, is enough." She was right. Amen.
