This week we have been reading and discussion what it means to be a spiritual director and the need for spiritual companionship. This resonates so true with me. As I have accepted this pastoral position, moved from Denver, and are constantly meeting new people, I have discovered their is a bit of a void without those deep companionships. I long to have a spiritual friend who I can share my dreams with. One who enjoys the activities I enjoy.
This was hard for me at first as well because I desire for God to be all I need. But then I began to remember that God created us to be in community. It is a part of who we are. And so I begin to pray for God to bring those types of connections here into my life.
I think it is important to note that I am super thankful that my closest spiritual friend, my wife, is with me. Moving to Iowa has been completely different than when I moved to Ireland. I am blessed to have a family with me and to not be alone. Thank you Lord for this incredible blessing!
