while I was driving to the Priory
for the first 2 hours
the sky was changing constantly...
it was cloudy for a while,
then sunny for a few minutes,
then foggy for a bit,
then rainy often and on,
I have all kinds of New England weather
I was thinking...
'this looks like my life over the past three years'
I certainly had all kinds of weather
good days and bad,
exciting days and dull moments,
weathered through many storms
then I was thinking...
'the only thing that's missing is snow'
and guess what
as the thought crossed my mind
I turned left to Vermont Rt 100 S, 15 mins to the Priory
it snowed...
the temperature dropped 10 degrees in 5 minutes.
when I arrived at the Priory
it snowed hard
and I chuckled at God
'You really didn't want me to miss this one, did you?'
after I got the instruction from brother Alvaros,
went to Romero House,
chose a room I'd stay, settled down,
all of a sudden,
the room got brighter and the sun was shining through the window
I couldn't believe it...
the whole time, the 3 hours
perfectly mirrored 3 years of my life
who can design something like this other than God?
3 hours of driving made me realize that
whatever I am going through is a normal part of life
and it will pass eventually
I was deeply touched and humbled
Thanks be to God
