Things have been going well for the most part. The roommate is working out just fine. But I have a tremendous sense of unease at the state the world is in.

And yet, my life has worked out strangely well recently despite the setbacks I've had. Things are improving, albeit gradually, for me and for our household. And all of this seems to come on the heels of my decision to enter into the clergy.

I can honestly say I did not expect my life to change this much or this tangibly, but it's a welcome relief and it has encouraged and strengthened me.

Ah, but will I feel the same way if tomorrow things go horribly wrong? I still feel unsure and inconstant. I will follow this path as far as I dare but how far will that be exactly?

I still feel like the path I'm on now has something to teach me even in adversity but I say that from the perspective of someone who hasn't borne the full brunt of adversity... yet.
