Tomorrow is a big day. Call it my next step. I will be visiting a spiritual advisor. She is a nun whose primary job is to help others with their spiritual direction. I have had challenges in the past and thought, maybe I would benefit from going to a counselor of some sort. If Bethany Frankel does, why don't I? But, I kept coming back to.... All I need is a better relationship with God. My problems would be easier ( I guess) if I had this solid foundation. So in a sense, I guess this thought is what led me to where I am today. Building.
Some of you may be OMG, spiritual advisor really? Heck yes. Its ok to want to have a deep relationship with God. Our secular world makes fun of those who truly seek that relationship. BTW, when I started blogging, I suppose that I did not intend to dive so deeply into my faith. Out loud. For that matter, i didn't intend to talk about it so much. What I have come to realize is that I have needed a place to talk about it. That's it. In real life, and even in bloggy land, religion makes people uncomfortable. It shouldn't. At all. If you are uncomfortable, do something about it. If you are knowing, living, being, learning, growing in and of God, what is there to be uncomfortable about? So you can be a playa hata all you want, but I'm gonna. That's right I'm gonna.
I will have to drive at least 40 minutes away to meet my nun.....that makes her an expert right?
Thank you to those who blog about their truth. Your blogs have helped in my growth. Allowed me to feel comfortable in whom I am becoming.

Bethany Frankel has a spiritual adviser?? I think it's great you have one! I hope the nun works out well for you. I've always wanted one, but haven't taken the step to get one. My husband had one when we lived in Colorado and he LOVED it. He said he never grew so much in his spiritual life as when he was seeing his monk adviser.
Bethany has some therapist or something... not a spiritual advisor. It would be a great witness ifshe did though! I am so ready for my meeting today. Thanks for sharing about your hubby. I hope the same for myself and ultimatly can better my family.
You are going to LOVE IT!! Spiritual direction is the BOMB. Speaking from personal experience, because my advisor has seen me THROUGH it. Speaking of which, I need to get together with her..... :) Praise God and praying for a great start to a new helping relationship.
I am really excited for you and your journey. I am a true believer in therapy of any kind. Will be interesting to read how this helps you grow in your faith. Good luck.
