Hello all,
I'm not used to blogging, so it may take awhile for me to get used to this means of communication. So please be patient with me! ;-)
A very short post today; just a couple things on my mind:
A great number of people have asked me how we are going to keep in touch, and that they want updates on my life, discernment, etc, so I decided that a blog may just be the best way to keep up with everyone (at least you'll have the chance to see what I'm up to, and then you can contact me via phone or email and we can get caught up on YOUR life :-) ).
I'd like to thank all of you for your prayers; know that I pray for you each and every day.
It's very exciting for me at this time--I love Des Moines, but I know that God is calling me to make a move up north! North to Minnesota to attend seminary. And I've always wanted to live in Hawaii, especially this time of year…oh well, the Lord knows better than I do, so I guess I'll just trust Him in that. ;-)
I will be studying for the priesthood for the Diocese of Des Moines. Des Moines has been where I've lived for the last 2 and a half years, and it quickly became home over that time (wonderful people, a real home, a diocese headed in a great direction that I want to be a part of, etc.), so that's why I chose this diocese, and I really feel God calling me to serve in this diocese.
Thank you all once again; I will be keeping you updated with my very "exciting" life. :-)
