Best wishes in your discernment, and I took a quick skim of your blog and the sabbath in your life theme that runs through it. Intriguing! (I may have to dip my toes back into the give and take of the blogosphere. I've neglected it lately, and kinda miss it.) Peace and blessings. Megan, thanks for dropping in, and sharing.

I'm finding this one year after you posted it, and it's just what I need today as I search for discernment about whether to resgin from a board. Thanks for being open to God and for sharing that openness with us. Hi, there.

I have been a SD for ten years and found the ministry very interesting, as well as personally, "professionally" frustrating. In the beginning SD was just for those who were considering a life in ministry. Now there has been an opening of SD to the "lay person." Each of us has a calling from God to some form of ministry. For many of the directees I see their calling to ministry is to motherhood. As a Catholic Spiritual Director I find this article very interesting.

Nice thoughts. I intend to feature this piece at the high calling blog in a few minutes. To answer your question: This is the debate of open theology. Does God know everything? And if God knows all that will happen, does that mean we are locked in? And what does that do to free will. This is a debate I have no time for. I believe in freedom. I think the Bible breathes with it. So I count it as real freedom. That means God's work is a cooperation between God's desire for the world and for you, and your choices good and bad. I think that is a beautiful thing. Hi there.
