What am I to do?

"If you ask anything of me in my name, I will do it."
John 14:14

I would say, in the last five or so years, my most fervent prayer has been to do what I'm supposed to do.  When the last of the chicks left the nest I had sense that a whole new world was opening up for me and my vocation was changing. People would ask me, "What are you going to do now?" As if I had some great destiny to fulfill.  The pressure was on! So I asked.  And asked..."What am I to do?" Gradually, like a flower blossom slowly opening, I have been discovering what I am to do, how I am to serve.  The blossom is still opening, but, by following the innermost desires of my heart, I am gradually learning what I am to do.  And that's how God works...slowly, through our own minds and hearts.  God will do what we ask.  We may just need to be quiet and still, and look deep inside, to recognize it!  Love, heidi
