Briananne Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 JMJT Ah, well this is gooda news! Discerning can definitely be tough to figure out. What helped me to see what God has planned out for me is to listen very carefully and patiently.. whenever a beautiful thought comes to you about vocation (whether marriage or religious) FOR THE GLORY OF GOD =) then write it down. Compare your ideas on both ways of life and see how you will be more fruitful. It might take a year, but it's better than forgetting the little voice which comes to us so gently at times. He will show you if you let Him. Having a connection with the sisters is one step closer to knowing what you're called to. A young man at my church was at the seminary and found himself praying for a wife there. I'm not saying it will be the same for you, however I do know we are all called to glorify God differently. What has He chosen you for? Being a troublemaker at a convent is a good sign you're called I'm sure you were just really excited and full of all these emotions you never thought existed! Glad you had a great time lil'monster! Praying for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feankie Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 LilMon, I'm SOOO taken by your lack of "flippantness" (made up that word and don't mean it to be derogatory at all) and your almost "quietness" upon returning from the retreat. Take tons of time to process what you did, how you felt, how you feel now. I'll be praying for you as you reflect on your time at the retreat.
