FutureSister2009 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I just wanted to say that I am putting all forms of Discernment on hold for the time being. I have no time to worry about anything right now. I am not going to search for a boyfriend or anything because I will have legitimately no free time at all this semester. Please just keep me in your prayers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InPersonaChriste Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 This question has been coming up lately for me, "am I willing to sell all my possesions and follow Him?" I immediately respond with a whole-hearted yes! But then I think of how much I rely on many of these material things to get me through the day. Silly things really when I think of it, yet I they have been added into my routine. There was one point in my life that I wouldn't go outside without a book on hand, then another time I carried juggling balls around (for 2 years). They were my safety net (and my icebreaker). New resolution: Dont leave the house without a rosary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because I forget that I already have one in my bag/pocket and I grab another one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FutureSister2009 Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 So this afternoon our Discerment group got together again. This time we were able to share where we our in discerning. We are all in different places which I was glad to see and I felt comfortable sharing my story with other people with the comfort of knowing they will keep it to themselves but that we will all be praying for each other. Sr. John Marie told us to not worry or obsess about it because it will come in good time. She's right. And I'm going to do that becasue soon I will be too busy to obsess over it even though things have gotten complicated lately. I am just going to let it flow in God's time. Like I said before, I am putting it on hold for now, but that doesn't mean I'm putting God on hold. He's still number one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigh, I've been taking a break from discerning. I've been thinking about it again, so we'll see where God gets me this time around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandelynmarie Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 (edited) [quote name='marigold' timestamp='1327009464' post='2371596'] I'm going to post about this in the Prayer Room as well but wanted to make sure I requested extra-strong and mighty prayers from my fellow aspiring nuns & fathers/brothers. It's now less than a month until my scheduled entrance date and there is no sign of a visa. Nothing. Not even an interview. I am starting to panic, Mother Abbess is travelling so unable to email, and basically all I can do is sit and wait. Help please! Every prayer counts. Part of me thinks, I've waited this long, what's another month or two, but realistically I know I can't wait much longer. Please storm heaven for me. xx marigold [/quote] [quote name='InPersonaChriste' timestamp='1327074843' post='2371994'] New resolution: Dont leave the house without a rosary.

I always have a backup one somewhere. Edited January 24, 2012 by brandelynmarie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulBride Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 So last year when I filled out the application for Mater Ecclesiae I was super nervous. (like from the time I started the app until the time I heard back) This year, I was calmer however as the time for a decision approaches I'm getting super nervous. Not so much because of the process but I'm realizing what an act of trust in God this really is and boy that terrifies me. Please pray for me. That it is the Lord's will for me to enter this year.
