"A roll model, a hero of my youth, a man that only sings the truth, just sitting down to talk to me."

He said, "Son the secret to my overnight success is hard work and luck and 20 years and nothing less."

Lost in transition. That's where I feel I am a lot these days. I've started the phase of life where I am both excited and frightened by my impending graduation from college. Discernment is going, and will continue to go for a good little while now. Although this does not excite me terribly right now, I feel it's what I have to work with. If my calling to be a priest is for real, and continues to get stronger like it has over the past 2 years or so, then I am confident that when the time comes, I will be able to open myself up fully and show that the priesthood is the path I called to be on. And, when the time comes, if who and what I shows that I should be on is not the priesthood, I pray that God will give me the grace to live with that decision, as well as the knowledge, wisdom, and energy to move forward and appreciate what I've learned about myself.

Living with impending transition is where I'm at, and the ropes aren't where I want/expect them be. But I will remain faithful that they will remain where they should be, and a deep breath and a deeper look around will prove to lead me where I am suppose to go.
