carmelite15 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Yes I am back from Carmel I am happy but I am still willing to do God's will. I mean thats why I left becasue I was feeling God dose not want me right now. I mean when I was there I had time to think and see what God wanted for me right now.

IamMyBeloveds Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 You are so courageous to have done what you did. It takes a lot to accept God's grace and do a live-in. It's not an easy thing! You are blessed to have had your experience and your future is filled with HOPE! You are a beautiful soul. Never forget our prayers are with you!!

OnlySunshine Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I'm glad that you are at peace with the decision to remain in the world a little bit longer. You will learn much from this time of spiritual growth and be able to experience more that will prepare you for the life of a religious. I know how difficult it can be to return from a live-in and hear that God is calling you to wait. I experienced the same thing with my former religious order in 2009. Now that I've been in the world for a little more than 2 years, I wouldn't have traded it for anything. I pray that you have an open heart to hearing God's will and will be prepared when it is truly your time. God bless you, Brandee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissylou Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Welcome back! One quibble. I'm pretty sure this is what you meant, but when you said "God does not want me right now" -- that's TOTALLY wrong. God TOTALLY wants you. God may not want you IN CARMEL quite yet. But that doesn't mean God doesn't want you. It means God wants you somewhere else! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FutureSister2009 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 We've all been thinking about you! Still praying though! I'm sure God DOES want you but you should try other things in the meantime and keep discerning and I'm sure you'll be there soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
