When do we need to push in further, and when might we need to make a change? And does darkness ever make us doubt our vocation?

If we are called to pour out in ministry, who is pouring into us? Karen, Simi, Hannah and Dawn talk about the essential nature of friendship - of having those in my life who love me as “another self” - in order to enjoy the fullness of life as consecrated virgins.
