Mags Posted November 10, 2015 Author Share Posted November 10, 2015 Wonderful news, @Mags! I have such respect for that community and especially the prioress. It's a good place. I do hope everything goes smoothly for the rest of your application and eventual entrance Thank you! The community is wonderful. They will be holding elections in January for a new Prioress, part of me is sad as she is so kind. Just waiting for the medical, they will hopefully receive the references in the next few days.

Don't worry, knowing a little of her track record in monastery duties, I'm sure you will still see a lot of her! I'm looking forward to hearing that everything has come through in the next few days... Are you on the flappy and nervous or the calm and serene end of the scale?

Umm, probably somewhere in the middle! Although I'm excited at the same time. I had an email earlier from the prioress to say that all the references have arrived. Things seem to be moving quickly now She did say that she would probably still be novice mistress after, I do hope so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things ARE happening, such that all necessary documents are now where they need to be, and now they just need to be spat out at the other end....but who knows how long that will take? I've been out a month now and the cracks are showing I think. Oh well, God is good, not me! I wouldn't say no to another family Christmas as it's a wonderful thing, and so many people have so much less. I'm trying not to sulk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand the impatience, I'm feeling it a bit myself, it feels like it's my GP that is holding things up!! Like you I will hold onto the knowledge that God is good!
