Stacey Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I wonder eveyday if I will make it so I take one day at a time. You will never know until you try and if you don't you will always wonder if you could have, so go for it! ' Whatever you do or dream you can begin it, boldness has magic, power and genius in it - BEGIN IT NOW' - Goethe. I try to remember that one. I am so pleased for you, many prayers sr marie-therese - oh, and following a very little way helps too, i find. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Therese Posted October 10, 2008 Author Share Posted October 10, 2008 So now the big question is how to break the news to my family. One of my sisters already knows, but everyone else doesn't. They aren't Catholic and I don't think they'lll be very supportive. Frankly,I"m nervous aboutit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WOW [/quote] I think most people can relate. I know I definitely can! It's just the transition as the dreams/hopes/fears/plans actually materialize. God bless you!

praying4carmel Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 [quote name='Saint Therese' post='1671252' date='Oct 6 2008, 02:06 AM']Hola Pham! I wanted to share with my phamily, that I'm FINALLY being able to make an attenuated live in aspirancy with the Dominican Nuns at Lockport. Thanks be to God! This is only possible because a benefactor willbe helping me financially, which is so awesome. I'm really excited, but terrified at the same time. Excited because I've been working towards this for awhile, and terrified because after all, I am still me. So, I hope that all VSers will keep me in your prayers! If all goes according to plan, I will leave on Nov.4. God bless you![/quote] God Bless and I will Pray for you! Congratulations!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiscerningSoul Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 I am sure things will be ok, have trust in our Lord and faith to follow his call even if that means your family is against it. Also know you are not alone in your plight, a friend of mine entered the pink sisters and her family was against it. Put all trust and faith in God, lean on him always, that is what our Lord has taught me and still teaching me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
