One was recommended to me, who after a few visits "directed me" to join his prison ministry, and our meetings quickly turned into HIM talking how wonderful that was. Nice man, but not as my spiritual director. Priests in the confessional recommended my getting one, but when I told of my experience, they all said to wait: God will find one for you. Finally a friend mentioned one to me, kind of out of the blue, and so I called the man. We've met a few times; He's slow to "direct" me, but he does ask good questions and makes me think better, and it is good to talk to someone who understands where I am at spiritually, so I will continue. (And I guess I feel better because the first guy asked for $50 - $100 donation for his time, but this guy flat out refused any money.)<br /><br />Don't get discouraged; it took me (God??) years to come up with this guy.Do Not Be Anxioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04607616214486933423noreply@blogger.com
