30 Days In The Desert

30 Days in The Desert?     So, for the last eight weeks I have been struggling! After some horrible situations happened at the Easter Vigil at my parish I choose, along with three other members, to resign from the parish council. I just no longer felt comfortable continuing to drive a mission to be a more welcoming and inviting parish if the decision makers were not also on board.      The choice to leave the council was easy. What is hard is trying to decide to stay at this parish, or move on to another one. My nature is to be a fixer. I keep thinking I am not done here... I can do more... I can fix this. But is that a calling from the Lord to help fix this parish or is it just my fixing nature?     I had a sit down (and ice cream) with a dear friend who is a sister. She knows of the situation and she knows me at my best and worst. She suggested to me that I take time to be still and heal. To spend time in the desert, and learn to forgive even though...
