Tegan and Sara - Dancing in the Dark

 Some days I feel like this...just listening to life and what it awaits.....Wanting to always evolve!!!!

Searching

So right now instead of doing this I should be applying for another chaplain job. Yet, I wanted to update whoever might be following my blog that I am in the process of transitioning to another place in my life. Come mid December I will have hopefully found another job. I feel as if I am jumping out into the unknown once again. I see so many of my friends and family settled into their lives as I process forward there is always a piece of me that wants adventure.

I am looking at all ministry options church life, chaplaincy. I am still dreaming of military chaplaincy yet I have to wait for my ACL to heal. I am so thankful for my family and friend that have taken care of me as I am healing. I am thankful the out pour of staff and patients with their support and I walk down the halls of the hospital with my crutches.

There is so much to learn in my call of ministry. I can’t believe that come this April 2013 I will have been a priest for five years managing I don’t do anything too wild.  Time really flies as the years go by. I still have so much I want to get done and I have the time. I find my work full of deep meaning even in the hardest of cases. The honor of being able to be there for a family or a patient is a wonder of God.

Peace,
Val Miller

Chaplain

So I have been working as a chaplain for about two months. I have gained continual insight. with each encounter. I have come to realize that I am truly a vessel that serves others at whatever place they are at. I continue to go with the flow more. I keep working at what I need to do to grow in my role as a chaplain and pastoral care giver.

No eggs in one basket

I have now been in the process of searching high and low for a ministry. I hope to explore every conrner ot the USA & globe along with the Navy as well. I have been applying, applying and I have two interviews coming up. One is Wednesday with a phone interview with a hospital in Maine and then another one on Thursday in PA ( a second one hopeful). I have still been working out this week I ran about seven miles. I also did several hours of circit training as well. I have been doing Yoga the last two days, wow does that take your body to a new level. I have been workin on sermons each week and serving at St. David's this I have been enjoying. I will keep posting my evolution as it keeps happening.
Peace,
Val

Training part two

Yesterday I ran three miles. I was beyond excited.

Love & Peace,
Valerie
