This past week Matthew and I also celebrated our 4 year wedding anniversary. I thought that I was going to be doing ok with it becuae I was busy all day long, I had classes, I had community night. However, it finally hit me that he was not with me and that we were spending the anniversary alone. Last night I was talking with my grandmother and she asked me, "are you doing what you want to be doing? Are you happy?" My answers to each of these questions was YES! I do feel that this is what God is calling me to as well as this is what I need to be doing to be able continue to discern God's call.
This weekend the first year class went on our class retreat. This was a wonderful time, it was at the St. Dorthy's retreat center in California. We spent time in prayer as well as relaxing and it was such a beautiful place. While I was there we created these things call Mandalas (not sure about the spelling) where we created artistic representations about our journey to where we are now. First I realized that Mrs. Hight was correct that there are some people that can do arts and crafts and that I was not one of them. This helped me to be remember that this journey really has helped me grow. The picture of it is below. This shows that I have really grown from a small plant in the center to this wonderful flower. My heart has grown so much, this process has streatched me and has helped me to grow. I know that the stretching is going to continue but I am really starting to see how much I really have grown and become a new person.
Well that is it for now....more to come!
Peace,
Jason Lucas
