    Wendy is so beautiful! Her heart is so good, she's so sincere- I found myself taking notes verbatim when she was speaking. Thank you!

    Beautiful remark about trust and surrender. My spiritual director shared with me: apparently somebody asked Mother Teresa once to pray for his clarity, and Mother Teresa apparently said, "No, I will not do that... I will pray that you will trust God."

    Wendy, you have been used of God to bring me into repentance - from misery to peace. Thank you so much.
    Wondering if you will consider making at least one video on ideas, stories, resources - anything you are inspired to share - for falling more deeply in love with God.
    Thank you so much, sweet sister.

    Thank you both for this podcast on such an important topic. God bless you and all those who are in the blessed process of discernment. "In your life path, you're never alone. With you Mother Mary goes."

    Thank you for this. I used to see God’s will as him wanting me to do something totally specific. It gave me a lot of anxiety because I was worried I would never know exactly what that was. Loved the point about how much God respects our freedom that he’s given us. It makes total sense- he gives us the freedom to choose to follow him or not, so why wouldn’t it extend to other aspects of the Christian life.

    The confidence of the men in your two stories definitely help me in a difficult decision I made recently. Thank you for making these videos.

    Wow! This shed a light to some major questions that I have recently. True, God is kind and gentle. His blessings will be with us either way (discerning between two good)...

    "The church - the bride of Christ, who's been given the heart of Christ to teach the fullness of the truth in season and out of season"
    What does "in season and out of season" mean?

    • @jokerguycz
      @jokerguycz Год назад

      it means when the times and culture and people accept it or dont accept it.

    Yeah, I think its too easy to fall into thinking are choices are important to God's plan. He loves each of us but we should not be so conceded to assume our choices make much difference to him so long as we are putting God's will first to the best of our understanding at the time. If you do have a calling you'll be told clearly, otherwise flip a coin because its all good to Him. As long as you work to grow your love for Jesus and work to be a good example in the eyes of heaven He will encourage and help you grow.
    For what its worth, I feel I am called to be a good example in faith to my family and others and to grow my love of Jesus. that's it. Something anyone can do in any vocation.
    don't over think it.
