happynun Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I will certainly pray, but I am equally convinced that this may be a strong sign that God has other plans for you... so get ready!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TotusTuusMaria Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 [center]J.M.J.[/center] I will pray for you. "Jesus is my strength. Jesus is my rock. I trust His wisdom and His will in my life." - Mother Angelica "In daily events I must see the providence of God. Remember this one little truth: Nothing happens to you without the stamp of His providence placed upon it before it happens. That's faith." - Mother Angelica May God love you! May God bless you! I also, believe God has something else that He wills to do with you. Trust in Jesus! In Jesus and Mary, Marie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lsoliman Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 [quote name='alicemary' post='1227315' date='Apr 2 2007, 02:58 PM']The Lord has not abandoned you, He is showing you the way. It may not be the way YOU have chosen, but His path. Be open to the whisperings of your heart.There is a reason that particular order may not be for you, do not be discouraged. Your future work may take you down a road you never dreamed of. I share your dissapointment, but encourage you to place yourself on the altar of His love. It is not YOUR will but HIS. And He did not promise anyone that this would be easy. I hope that the fathers have shared with you why you were not accepted. Take this information and grow by it. It may be true, it might not be. Start your search again! Our prayers join with you. Alicemary[/quote] Thanks for your great words of encouragement! I especially like your mentioning that HE did not promise anyone this would be easy. Please continue to keep me in prayer and I will pray for you too.

lsoliman Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 [quote name='Ora et Labora' post='1227744' date='Apr 2 2007, 08:25 PM']MFVA...? Are they the friars in Alabama?? I'm sooo sorry to here this news. It must be such a cross to have to carry. But, once, from a friend, I was told during hard times that God gives some more difficult paths then others because He knows they can handle it! That is a little encouraging...if only a little. God bless you![/quote] It is very encouraging, thank you! If our dear Lord permits this cross, then so be it! If not Alabama, then somewhere else!

Is it conceivable for you to politely inquire as to why you were refused ( and promise not to argue with their observations). The Friars may have some constructive suggestions they could pass on to you for the future. The stories of the saints are littered with refusals, notably the parents of St. Therese. jkaands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
