ThereseMaria Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 Good! The reason I asked is because Luna Lovegood is commonly referred to and seen as socially awkward and not having many friends, and yet she turns to be one of the coolest and nicest characters. She's one of my favorites. Mainly because I relate to her quite a bit. Only having the one parent, being socially awkward, having few friends and being picked on, but actually being really nice. It's awesome when you can find that character in a book that's like your twin... But anyways! If I'm right about what you're implying, then thanks!!! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I identify most with Sirius, because even though I have a lot of great friends and acquaintances, I can't see them often because of distance issues, and so I'm locked up in my house day in and day out.

Hahaha, okay. Sorry for the confusion. And it's not. But I don't mind it for two reasons: One, I love the idea of heroism, and this reminds me of Sirius, as I said, and I find him quite heroic. On top of that, it's a good way to sacrifice for God and be thankful for all of my friends and not take them for granted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess when one sees their friends all the time, it becomes easy to take them for granted. It's pretty amazing to see the wisdom of the people on Phatmass, and out in the world...

The longstanding jokes on Phatmass are also quite astounding. I'm three years older than you, but in the eyes of everyone else, I'm still the youngest person here. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's awesome because everyone can be silly, and yet be mature and support each other when it's needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresaThoma Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 amesome!!! :D You must be very excited. VERY! But also nervous, I have to get approval from my work first but they also gave tentative approval. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThereseMaria Posted February 27, 2014 Author Share Posted February 27, 2014 VERY! But also nervous, I have to get approval from my work first but they also gave tentative approval. Good point... But if it's where you are meant to be, that nervousness will vanish when you go. I can't wait until I am old enough to start contacting different communities!!! It must be an absolutely amazing experience... Getting to know some of the sisters, going on retreats with them... It would be so awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kg94 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I've felt called to a religious vocation on and off for quite some time. I can't really do any actual discernment on the matter, seeing as I'm still rather young, and I don't know how much I could do at my age, in terms of visiting orders. So I've started a journal, and I have something of a daily prayer schedule. I was just wondering if there was anyone else in the same situation (in other words, people who are feeling called, but are still too young to really act on the calling)? If it's any reassurance, we had a 13 year old girl come and stay with us for a come and see weekend, so you aren't too young, but you will probably need parental consent. I started seriously discerning at the age of 14, and I know people who have started much younger. Get in touch with the communities you are interested to find out more about and see what happens from there. Trust that God is with you, and if it is His will, you will find yourself at home there...when you know that it's the right place for you, where God wants you to be, often you will experience peace, a peace beyond description or any human understanding. If you want to join our facebook vocations chat group: http://facebook.com/groups/vocations.chat And let me know if I can be of any help. With love and prayer, Kim Lee xxxxxxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
