TheresaThoma Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Much thanks to all. :heart: I have decided my request is being mailed this week. Going to bite the bullet. :) Very exciting! (and don't let yourself talk you out of that deadline!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Many thanks to you all :) Especially for your prayers - I spoke to the Benedictines yesterday and though it was hard, things went really well there. Very exciting! (and don't let yourself talk you out of that deadline!) You will be happy to know I mailed it this morning! :) :bananarap: Still a little unsure of whether it was good enough, but what I wrote came from my heart so I guess that's the main thing!

AugustineA Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Wow congratulations! Can I call you sister now.. or must that wait? Heh.. well regardless, you have my well wishes and blessings! It also makes me very hopeful that you can study while entering religious life, not entirely unrelated to what I would enjoy doing. But forget that, this is great news! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in a little while :P It is definitely reassuring. I love my study and want to see it through to the end. P.s. I hope this clears up any prior misconceptions you may have had about my gender... *cough* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MargaretTeresa Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I wish I could jump on the nun train as quickly as you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Congratulations, Spem! Please pray for me and for all of us. Thanks Credo. You and all here have my prayers - as do your families. The Sisters pray for the world's families each day. :giveup: Lol, I believe! :hehe2: I wish I could jump on the nun train as quickly as you... Well, I was VERY quick. I'm of the suspicion that God was being a little playful with me...because I definitely didn't go to the retreat expecting to come out having made a decision -- or even to TALK about applying. But it happened that way, so I'm just going with it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Pham, I have officially begun the application process :) The VD called me a few nights ago and we had a very joy-filled discussion. She is going to arrange a time to meet with me soon to go through things with me and pass on the papers. I just can't believe it. I am at peace, as if my heart is "beating in harmony with the heart of God."Your Will, O Lord. Nothing more. Nothing less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheresaThoma Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 That is wonderful! Now I just need to work up the courage to send the email I have been procrastinating on myself.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spem in alium Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Praying for you, TT! My VD said this is actually the hardest stage...making the decision to change your life. I think she's right. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
