in not of

we are in a state of preparation at the moment. we are all eagerly anticipating the arrival of our new brother in mission, Miller Lo. although he won't be arriving for a week and a half we know this is going to be a big change for us. in fact, we will be forming an entirely new community! my spiritual director, Fr. Grant, (an awesome Jesuit from LMU) was enlightening me on some aspects of community life and praise God i heard this new info. i am learning so much about myself and others thru this community experience. it really brings everything out in the open; the good and the bad, whether you want to see it or not.

as i continue to learn about myself in community, i am also learning a lot about myself alone. that is, i am learning what is truly important to me, what i am truly passionate about and what it is that i truly desire. this, however, has proved difficult as i am not quite sure what direction God is leading me at the moment. there are a few pulls in different directions, but as soon as i think i have it figured out, God punches me in the face with humility and says, "think you got it, huh? well, look at this." then the process starts again. luckily, its a fun process! and the humility and new knowledge is a welcome change.

i'll close with something that has been on my heart lately. former superior of the Society of Jesus, Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ, had this to say about love and how your life will be decided...
