A Rough Week

Brett has been passionate about many things in his life, but none as much as his love of his country and the Catholic church.  Thus, this week has been a rough one for him.  It is not just the changes in society that have made him feel overwhelmed.  He is also struggling with the fact that he really loves his internship and isn't ready to give that up.  He doesn't know where life is leading him and isn't sure where to look.  

Brett is not alone in that struggle.  Most of us spend our early twenties searching for our own identity, finding out that we cannot always change the world and wondering what path we are on.  I have given Brett some words of encouragement and suggestions for what to do when he is feeling down as have several of his friends.  Ultimately, however, it is just going to take time and patience.  Time to learn and grow and the patience to find a path.  Brett will get there, I know, and hopefully he will come to see that the journey is what makes us who we are.
