Here is a word from the Lord given to Fr. Mike when his journey had reached bottom, and a word we should all openly embrace within our own hearts whenever we are crushed and broken:
"Now you are broken and helpless. You can't possibly continue as you have in the past. Now I will show you MY ministry, and all you have been doing will be organized around it. You are sufficiently out of the way, with your eyes seeking me, for me to move with MY ministry, unmistakably marked with my character."

Please get a copy of Fr. Mike's "The Truth About Trouble." When he gave me a copy of the book I read it eight times the first week. Since then I have continued to find it as a source of comfort when I'm blindsided by the troubles of life.

Why is it that so many times we have to become mashed into the dirt before we realize God's presence. But if that's what it takes to stay centered upon him, then yes, I find joy in it!
