Sharing My Story

This past year at the University of Indianapolis I had the privilege of reviving a series called "Sharing My Story." Students, faculty and staff shared their stories of God's call in their lives.  Each person that shared their story loved the practice of reflecting over their life and being able to share their story. What a gift it was for them and for all of us who got to hear their story. 

One of the stories was titled "God is Good All The Time." After the faculty member ended his story and asked for questions, one student stated that she wanted a part 2 of his story. She wanted to know how he could say God was good all the time after he had shared the terrible things that had happened to him in life. He explained that it had been a journey that did not happen over night.

As a Spiritual Director it is my job to help others tell their sacred stories by listening and giving tools that can help them discover their sacred stories.  I'm working on a program for this upcoming year that will provide ways of putting together our stories and help to go deeper on the journey.

A timeline is a good place to start. So if you are interested in beginning the process of reflecting over your life, I hope this will give you a place to start.
