Gird Up and Go

With a new year comes a new motto: Gird Up and Go.
This year will bring much change to the Guevara household:

finishing a residency
finishing a period of full time parish work
moving to northern Michigan
starting a new school (Kindergarten!)
living much closer to family (39 miles)
starting anew

In my life the Lord has called me with a familiar song.
Like that song I hear on the radio
that I've never heard before
and yet I know it.
Discerning this change for our family was no different.
A song that was similar to leaving Pfizer,
leaving Ann Arbor,
leaving Lakeside,
and now, leaving St. Thomas.

It has never been about jumping from one sturdy branch
to another that I can see, touch and test.
It has always been about jumping from one sturdy branch
to that in which, rather in Whom, I have faith.

In fact, the song title has also been the same:
Gird Up and Go.
