God will Provide

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have just been so busy with my many responsibilities. It has been a trying summer to say the least with a Women's ACTS Retreat, forming a New Ministry, planning a Youth 2000 Retreat, singing in multiple choirs, working full time and going to school. It is definately a blessing that I am single woman and have the ability to serve my Church this way.

But I recently had to make a decision to live my faith more fully by standing up for my convictions. My employer recently made a blanket statement to all Planned Parenthoods stating that we support them and followed this with a new program to donate a very large amount of money to them. This on the heels of so many states cutting funding to abortion clinics.

I felt that to continue working there would be a violation of my faith. I have spoken with many people including my priest as well as my spiritual director who both said that I am not committing a sin, but I know it is not healthy for me to constantly have to hide my faith or silence my beliefs. It made me feel like a lie.

So I told my employer of my dilema. Amazingly, they were very understanding and are supporting me in leaving. I am trying to get into Active Church ministry and I have a lot of support from my home Parish and Local Church.

I am not sure what the next few months will hold for my life, but I am convinced that God will provide. Please pray for me and, please feel free to leave your prayer intentions in the comments as I would be honored to pray for you.

God Bless.
