Lisa Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Hi guys! So, I'm really bad at keeping secrets. Horrible, in fact. And I can't keep hijacking random treads. So, this is probably going to become my DSMME thread. I went to the retreat this weekend, and officially asked for and received the application to enter in August. I've still got a long way to go of discernment, and the community will of course, be discerning me as well. My "yes" was to Jesus' nudge for me to ask. I've been really discerning this particular community for about a year (have known them for 3 years). But some other obstacles stood in the way, not the least of which was interior, and my struggle to trust Him- that He would provide and raise up my failings. So yes, I now have "papers." Strangely enough, while it is exciting, more than anything, I'm just experiencing complete joy and peace. It's been long enough in the making that it seemed like the natural step, like I was just taking a big step closer to Him and doing His will. Please, please, pray for me. Like I said, this is just the beginning. The next step is just the paperwork; I will be working on scheduling appointments with various people to be sure I'm healthy and normal(ish). But peace is just running through me in all of this practical stuff... He's got it under control. There's also no rush! By the way, I offered particular names and an overarching "all the people on VS" during adoration Saturday night and on a slip of paper for the Blessed Virgin in her traveling image of Our Lady of Guadalupe. You all are going to be wrapped in her mantle and held between her folded hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
