a choice in one direction

"Mindful of the grace and trust which has been extended to us, mindful that the process of discernment is an ongoing one which requires that we listen to contrary as well as agreeing voices, mindful that every choice in one direction means a choice in another direction not taken, we are nevertheless grateful to be here, grateful to all of you, grateful, most of all, to the God who calls, the God who answers."
