Going “On the Road” is one of the great things about life! It is so Franciscan to be open to the adventure and whoever God puts in one’s path! But, when we are in one place we cannot be in another…the road is meant to help us get to that next place, it is not to become one’s daily existance.

Years ago, a Teacher who was a Sister, asked me, “Have you ever thought about being a Sister?” That was a powerful question for me at just the right time. What an amazing journey it has been, when we allow the Lord to lead the way…
I am deeply grateful for all who have helped me on the journey of life to serve the Lord.

Years ago, two classmates invited me to join them to “go and see” Holy Family Convent. The pastor wanted to take us there by car. The tour and the sense that this is where I was meant to be led me to make the final decision to enter. I’d been thinking about it for some time. That invitation/nudge got me where I needed to go and set me on the path of response to the call of God. YEAH!

The car is not the only vehicle that will get us from point A (action) to point D (decision). I have found a healthy walk (with or without someone else) will help to clear the air and get the body and spirit moving. (St. Francis liked to follow in the FOOTprints of Jesus.)

To journey with anyone regardless of the path it leads is both a priviledge and a challenge. Only God knows the hidden obstacles, the blind turns, and the fears of uncertainty for the searcher. God’s time is not always our time so patient prayer and trust in the knowledge that He NOT We do the calling. Keep your compass focused on Him. I like your idea and never think that your car is traveling in vain.

I think this is a brilliant and spiritually sound scenario. I have found that sometimes we all forget to DO something about our desires. Desire without action won’t take us anywhere. We can also forget that God speaks through others and events. There probably will not be a “burning bush” event to point out God’s will. People and events will make God’s will clear. Thank you for “on the road” inspiration!
