the journey continues

This blog is intended to be a place for me to process the realities and struggles of trying to live out the four values of the Jesuit Volunteers, after being a JV. We spend a year or two working to integrate the values of spirituality, community, simle living and social justice, into our lives as JVs. In no way does being a JV make these values easy, but the intentionality and accountability that our community mates offer us, creates an environment in which we are supported along this struggle. But what happens when the environment is no longer there? That is a question that every FJV must face, and one that I begin to look at with this blog. I appreciate you taking the time to walk with me along on this journey of being "ruined for life". Because the ruining of JVs does not end when their year of volunteering does, and so our journey continues...
