I have been struggling with some mighty spiritual questions for about a year and half now. Losing Father Burns was devastating! He was my "go to" guy for all things personal, spiritual, and pressing. Now that he is gone I have been floundering with many things which cause me much anxiety and stress. I tend to analyze everything to death. This includes my spiritual life and how it corresponds with my vocation and my relationships with others.
I've been driving Tim crazy with all my angst and lack of peace. He can't help me sort that kind of stuff out. He just thinks I'm batty! So....I have found a priest I feel like I can go to - Thank God. I met with him for the first time Monday. Tim asked how it went etc. and I mentioned that Father asked to meet with me again on Tuesday of next week. Tim's response? "What!? does Father not have anything to do or something? Or is he just lonely and wants somebody to blab with?" I laughed out loud. I look forward to telling Father about Tim's comments. He just cannot imagine why or how I need to talk to a priest at length about my life with God. Tim's approach is so much more clear cut - "I love God. I try to do what He wants. Period." My husband the practical one in the family...God knows we need the balance...I tend to have my body in the laundry room, but my head in the clouds!!
