I'll be sure to pray extra hard during your live-in. Thank you for your persistance -- it's very much an encouragment to me! (I was also in another order and am still trying to find where God wants me. I'll keep knocking! ) God bless you! lc[/quote] You just keep knocking until that door opens!! Persistence is a different type of perseverence - and if that's all we have, that's good enough for now The way I look at it, Jesus fell three times but kept getting up again. He gave us an example to follow - when the cross gets too heavy and we fall, ask for His help to get up again and to go on. We have a God who understands our suffering and our weakness.

DameAgnes Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Annie, you are in my prayers. Keep knocking. The landlord will get tired of it and let you in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have taken the advice of friends and set up a web page where those who feel so inclined, may make a contribution to my travel fund. I have put the link on my profile page. Thanks for the suggestions everyone. It isn't a very professional page, but it states the message God bless you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had some people offer to help and even had a benefactor who wanted to help with a lot of the fare, but I haven't heard from him in a few days and I couldn't reach him by phone, and still don't have enough to book the flight, so keep praying for me please! Maybe I was getting too confident? I thought I wasn't worried, but it's funny how one day we can feel so strong and another feel so weak I just got through watching The Bible movie on video and of course as Abraham was being tested, I was thinking that I wouldn't have been able to trust God as much as he did! Then I heard from a US convent that asked me if I wanted to come visit them, and I started wondering if I was doing the right thing trying to go to England, and well, you know how doubts just start to eat one up inside - so pray for me please. I am one of those people who has a lot of self-doubt, so trying to trust God gets complicated by my doubts about myself as well. Prayers, prayers, prayers. I need to go spend some time in front of the Blessed Sacrament tomorrow and find my peace again! Edited April 15, 2009 by nunsense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And DameAgnes, I forgot to answer your question about how many are in the community -- I am afraid I don't remember for sure - and since I sold my laptop, I don't have any of my old emails left any more to check back! I think the number was around 13 or 14. Carmelite Monasteries are limited to 21 and then are supposed to start thinking about founding a new community!
