Detour through Grief and Loss: Renewed Life Direction via Embracing Compassion for Others and Myself
Kizzie Jones episode of Detour to Where podcast with LaVon Hardison
Kizzie Jones was a guest on LaVon Hardison’s podcast, Detour to Where, today. She tells a 10-minute story of the detour to her path as a chaplain.
As Pastor Francis Geddis placed the stole over my shoulders at the Marin Fairfax Community Church in California during my ordination he said, “When you want to make God laugh, tell Her your plans!”
I’d already had a dose of God’s mirth as I explored and discarded internships and looked for my eventual calling.
I didn’t know exactly what my calling would be, but I was certain it was not serving in a church or in health care! With those plans, I made God laugh!
Much gratitude to LaVon Hardison for inviting me to share my journey through grief and despair to my move into a meaningful future—truly a Detour To Where—I could not have imagined.
Sharing Is Caring. Please Share.
