That's something that scares me. I'm afraid I don't usually have the humility to answer.

Hey!! Wow... That gives me goosebumps too!! Tee hee... It can be sort of scary at first, but surrendering to God is the hard part, it seems that it gets easier after that. Because I find in after praying and telling God I will do His will alone, I feel at peace for Gods will is right.
I pray that we might all do Gods will, to answere Gods calling whatever that may be!!
Love in Christ, Marjorie

I don't think surrendering to God is hard; continuously surrendering, that's the hard part. Saying "Yes, dear God, I will do what ask." is easy once. Evey second of every day...that's where our nature comes in against us.

Maybe it's me, but I don't think surrendering to God isn't that hard.

I was reading a book on the autobiographies of twenty sisters written in '57 today, and one of them said something so profound... she was talking about how God utilizes everything about our feminine psyches when He's calling us; He appears as the Infant at Nazareth longing to be held, the suffering Son on the Cross longing to be carressed. He does this to "call" us, where as if we truly understood the unfathomable nature of His Love, we would find ourselves begging to be taken in!
But I digress. That is a wonderful saying

Yes, sometimes it can be relatively easy, but other times it can be very difficult.

Me too! Reminds me of things I read out of St. Faustina's Diary! That was an amazing book!

I know, that is such a great book. You guys would love "The Privilege of Being a Woman" by Alice von Hildebrand, from Sepientia Press (Ave Maria University). It's got some excellent references to the parallels between women and the role of religious life in the world.

I went to a talk of hers (I think it was on chastity) a couple years ago. I'm sure it's a good book.

Or something like that
