I can't wait!

Cool beans!! I'll be at a family reunion that weekend. You will be in my prayers

Thanks! I'll need em!

Wait, so are you going to go Lauren?

I, unfortuantely, will be otherwise occupied that weekend (music stuff for priestly ordinations!)...

HECK YA! Just booked the flight!

so excited!

I forgot about those when I booked tickets for my mom and I to go to Canada. It was the only free weekend for a possible last vacation. Now I will miss Deacon Chris Martin's ordination! I really wanted to go...

Oh well, there's always the first Mass!


Lauren, that's so awesome that you get to go to LA. I hope everything goes well! My prayers are with you as you discern.

It's my birthday on the 29th and I'll be a little preOCCUPIED....with getting my acceptance letter GOD willing...or soon thereafter....My prayers are with you.

Mike, you rule!
Oh and btw, I won't get to see you Sunday because I have a prior engagement, but I am sending hugs your way anyway!

I will get to see both of you in one weekend! How cool is that?

How exciting SisterAli! Happy b-day (early!) and let us know when you hear back from the Sisters!

Lauren, I'm so happy for you! I can imagine how exciting it is for you!

This is too sweet. A certain friend i know must be alerted. Thanks for telling me.

SHALOM

looks like someting that would be worth looking into.

Hahah....thanks!!! It is going to be a crazy FUN filled WEEKEND with the Sisters!!! Teehehee.....I CANT wait!

Ali

Anywhoo...is anyone from phatmass going?

As I do not post too much on here any longer....I still wanted to ask everyones prayers, hopefully without retalliation...

I am leaving for my second FSP retreat in Los Angeles and could use some prayers, but mostly because I have been spiritually dry lately. I am hoping that I will be kicked back into the swing of things on the retreat and find some peace with Jesus.

As not to cause some people to "act out", please email me if you want to know how it was and I will share my pictures upon my return.

However, PLEASE keep me in your prayers at this crucial time.

Lauren

God go with you as you continue your journey. Remember the journey is as important as your goal.
Your sister,

Prayers for sure!!! Most especially prayers for courage and perseverence in your vocation!

I am praying for you that your retreat in Los Angeles went well. God bless.

Let us know when you get back how it was! I am hoping to hear from you!

Hi All, Thanks for your responses.

I am back from L.A. and the retreat was once again a very moving experience for me. I really had a wonderful time there with Jesus and the Sisters.

Unfortunately, I no longer feel "safe" sharing much in here about my discernment. However, I did take lots of pictures and have a lot to say. The friends I have made on here can feel free to email me, or get in touch and I would love to share.

I am preparing for some change in my life, so I will not really be on here that much anymore anyway. I come in and read your posts once in a while and have been keeping you all in my prayers.

God Bless.
Lauren

Please at least post your pictures!! We would love to see them!

I can email you some photos and talk to you over the phone! Thanks for your prayers, I will call soon! Lauren
