Wanted: Mother Abbess
I've realized recently that whenever life starts getting a little to real, a little too scary and a little too grownupish, my initial reaction is to run away. Like Maria in The Sound of Music, I feel to my abbey in hopes that somehow life will settle while I'm gone. I'm realizing that life isn't designed to work this way. It didn't work for Maria and it doesn't work for me. Perhaps I need my own personal Mother Abbess to remind me that I need to "climb every mountain" instead of running away in fear. After all, I don't really belong in the abbey.

So true. I've been taken aback so many times at what God wants me to do... of course, these things are usually the "little too real, a little too scary, and a little too grownupish" things. You're not alone, my friend. Just keep climbing those mountains and trusting your Savior!

I would be your mother abbess, but as I am neither female nor motherly, I will settle for being a best friend along the travailious (new word!) way up the mountain.
