“If our whole will is to do God’s will, then God’s will is our will. God is not here to crush my will; he’s here to vivify it. Sin shrinks it, and sin dulls it. Sin makes our souls a very dull gray, but sanctity gives it a vibrancy and color.” I have one job. That's not true right? As a mom I have MANY MANY jobs. Everyone I know is busy as heck. The questions are overwhelming: Where do I work? Whom do I marry? Where should I move? How many kids should I have? Which religious order do I join? If you ride the overwhelm train often like I do, you wonder if you're making the best choices and #livingmybestlife. As my dear friend Greg Sheffield (seminarian for the Diocese of Rochester) is here to discuss, it turns out God's will is extremely simple: our holiness. We have one job: to be holy. We can stop stressing about everything else. If you think that's too simplistic, you need to hear this episode. As I rush through my days trying to check off my endless to-do list, often feeling frustrated and wondering about where I'm "supposed" to be, it's hugely reassuring that God's will is actually easy to find. Yup I said it: easy. It's as easy to know as sleeping, eating, and drinking. If you think that's too simplistic you absolutely need to hear this episode!  Topics Discussed How to deal with frustrations and upsets How to know God’s will in the present moment (and stop worrying about everything else) Intuition and gut instinct: put there by God? God’s commandments are largely about what we shouldn’t do, but he gives us the creativity to act on what we should do Getting out of micro-managing, scrupulosity, and perfectionism  Resources Greg's contact info: gregory.sheffield@dor.org Lindsay Schlegel’s episode on Called and Caffeinated Abandonment to Divine Providence by Jean-Pierre DeCoussad “Don't Do the Things” Bible How to Be Holy: A Festooning of Abandonment to Divine Providence by Peter Kreeft Discernment article by Peter Kreeft Lumen Gentium: Vatican II document on the Universal Call to Holiness
