Wait, wait, wait
In 1997 I went through the discernment process to become a Permanent Deacon in the Roman Catholic Church. I was not accepted. I was not rejected. I received a letter from the Archbishop that essentially said try again another time. I thought I was ready to proclaim the Gospel. God told me to wait, wait, wait.
Six years ago, I started the discernment again. I was accepted and started formation in January 2004 for ordination in December 2007. In the midst of this, Hurricane Katrina and the subsequent levee failures devastated the Archdiocese of New Orleans. Because of this, a year was added to our formation. We were not to be ordained until December 2008. Wait, wait, wait.
My friends and family know that 10 years ago I was diagnosed विथ aform of thyroid cancer, papillary carcinoma.
