Journey toward uncertain future in India

It is like being in a deep dream for me to live community life with Marist Brothers and Laity together for more than a year. I am quite sure that I have sufficiently absorbed the Marist family spirituality through the moment of joy, difficulties, challenges and reconciliation regardless of all my personal limitations. When I looked back the past experiences in Manila and also in Davao, I came to believe that there has been always warm presence of God within my life who guided my each foot step to the way I did not know. But the most important fact for me is that I have been extremely happy and have loved so much this kind of fascinating life. Therefore I want to continue to open my life to the guidance of God in India, my future mission country. Now I realized that a precious treasure particularly in terms of spirituality, is always in an uncertainty and I will be able to embrace such a dynamic, creative and pioneer life as being in fully awareness of myself in India. What is the meaning of my life if things have been ensured safely or vividly predictable throughout all my life in the future? So now, I am looking forward to searching for a special treasure in my uncertain life in India. Therefore I truly lift up my whole hearty thanks to God for granting me new gifted life as a Marist missionary.________________Abel Eom, from KoreaDavao, 14th September 2010
