FutureSister2009 Posted November 25, 2011 Share Posted November 25, 2011 I got to see my Sisters on Thanksgiving yesterday! It was amazing! They have never been to our Thanksgiving Mass so I was so surprised they were there! We had a nice little conversation. I really want to catch up on life with them but they're so busy with school and stuff. I hope we can catch up. We got a little caught up though. Sr. Jessica told me to just do my lessons and whatever God sends to me, just embrace it and accept it. She's absolutely right. I must confess though, the only man I would give up the Convent for is Josh Groban. If I was going to marry him, I would do it. But since he doesn't even know I exist, I know the chances of that ever happening are pretty slim. But he's an ideal man that I would be glad to be married to, except of course for Christ.

Guest hermanita Posted November 26, 2011 Share Posted November 26, 2011 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1321944955' post='2339360'] Nice! On that note, I am still waiting to hear back from the Postulant Director. I haven't received the confirmation email that she has read my email. It is a lesson in patience, that's for sure! If I don't hear from her within 2 weeks, I'll take the plunge and call her. [/quote] [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1322028683' post='2339703'] A.wesome! I hope I hear from Mother VERY soon! I don't know how patient I can be. This is a definite test. [/quote] Please don't worry aboutcontacting her again. Just do it if it seems good to you.. I waited a month and then recontacted the vocation director when I didn't hear from her. Turned out she was very busy and I was on her list to be called. She thanked me for the second email. The rest is history!!! Praying for you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, if I don't hear from her before Wednesday this next week (1 week from when I sent the 2nd email), I will contact her a different way. I hate gmail because I have so many problems sending mail to that server which is odd considering that my mail is from Yahoo and gmail is from Google.

TheresaThoma Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 So I set a tentative date for visiting the local RSMs. I just have to get my parents to let me use the car for that evening. I'm really not sure if they will so any prayers would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest hermanita Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 (edited) So... although it's not exactly 3 weeks since I was at Carmel ( supposed to be reflecting on experience for three weeks and then recontact) I realized this morning that I needed to call the Vocation Director to share something. She returned my call laughing and said the Sisters had a "bet going" that I wouldn't last out the 3 weeks. We had a good talk and I will be returning for a visit in early January. I am now permitted to make the medical appointments etc so I can complete the application paperwork . Also, I felt very moved in prayer to write my Dad and share about my vocation journey. Mom already knows and I'm telling the rest of the family during my Christmas visit. SO please pray for us as I write this letter and he receives it. He is very protective. And I won't be extending my apartment lease and if they don't let me rent month- to -month will have to move in February. If I have to move in Feb., I may decide to move to my folks in Colorado for a few months. I can always work in a family business. Anyways. That's for later. Please keep me in your prayers as I do all of you. your very happy, hermanita Edited November 30, 2011 by hermanita Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSister2009 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Oh by the way, during my time home over Thanksgiving break, I found out my Parish will be hosting a Holy Hour for Vocations this Thursday night. I really wish I could be there for it. I will be there in spirit. I hope someone will think of me during it and pray for me. The one time we have something like this going on and I can't be there for it. Go figure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatitude Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 A couple of nights ago I was chatting on MSN with a friend who is a Dominican brother. I told him that I was discerning with the secular institute. Apart from faithcecelia, he's the only real-life friend who knows. Not only was he familiar with this institute and its charism (I'm astonished that he'd even heard of it) but he thought it sounded a perfect fit for me. His is an opinion that I really respect, so I'm happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
