As leaves change here in the Midwest and some school sport seasons enter \u201cfinals,\u201d those in publishing already shifted gears toward the Advent of Christmas.\u00a0 <\/span>At RCSpirituality, you might have noticed that we have also \u201cshifted\u201d our homes.<\/p>\n Not one to embrace change lightly, I cling to the known good and dread any loss, while also trying to anticipate uncertain goods. Eventually, I \u201cadjust\u201d to see the good that could only have happened with both change and loss. A clear example happened 20 years ago for me; an event I now recall to stem dread and embrace the new when change is forced upon me.<\/p>\n I relocated 500 miles to be near family and help aging parents, and the new employer knew before hiring that I could not work overtime. Within two months, however, my team was told to work 12 hours daily, Monday through Saturday, until a project was completed, hopefully within three months. They had my notice the next day.<\/p>\n After living single for six years, it was now 24\/7 with my parents, assisting one with advanced dementia\u2014and my former friend-support system was far away. \u201cAdjusting\u201d was a minute-by-minute endeavor. But within a week of my new unemployment, my sister began labor with Mom\u2019s first grandbaby\u2014400 miles away! My joblessness enabled Mom to leave immediately, Dad in my care, and she witnessed my niece\u2019s birth! After Mom’s stay there to help with their homecoming \u2026 I was able travel to be the first<\/i> auntie to hold baby Kara.<\/p>\n A new job in a better environment was found, at just the right time, with priceless gifts of unrepeatable, shared family experiences added to our life\u2019s treasury. God\u2019s Providence is so perfect, but incomprehensible in the moments of unchosen change!<\/p>\n Less dramatic, though we pray still impactful\u2014RCSpirituality\u2019s new website home unites our Regnum Christi family a little closer. We were led to share resources, as we already share a common mission, and so, we pray daily for God\u2019s guidance in this ongoing endeavor. We pray that our intentional diligence to retain insights and inspiration while increasing faith-filled resources available to you is complete enough that, perhaps, after some \u201cadjusting,\u201d you\u2019ll eventually find God has led you to greater blessings in our Regnum Christi family\u2019s treasure chest of spiritual offerings.<\/p>\n Linda Bader<\/p>\n RCSpirituality Support<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Greetings Friends, As leaves change here in the Midwest and some school sport seasons enter \u201cfinals,\u201d those in publishing already shifted gears toward the Advent of Christmas.\u00a0 At RCSpirituality, you […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":387,"featured_media":157283,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"default","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[3004,6616,3001],"tags":[],"post_folder":[],"class_list":["post-154622","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-regnum-christi-news","category-weekly-message","category-news-article"],"pp_statuses_selecting_workflow":false,"pp_workflow_action":"current","pp_status_selection":"","pp_force_visibility":null,"pp_subpost_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_force_visibility":null,"pp_inherited_subpost_visibility":null,"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
