Well, everyone I am back. i just returned from a wonderful, yet exciting weekend in Peoria. I spent most of my time on retreat being a wonderful example to the girls who are 13 to 18 yrs old. The Sisters kept wanting to make me cry, ebcause this month will be the last time i will see them. i was with the OSF Sisters, by the way.
I returned home to see a few wonderful emails in my box, and two not so nice. One was from a phatmasser or two. Both comments were rude and totally immature for some people who shall remain nameless that are also discerning.
I was in adoration yesterday realizing that it will in 2 months that, Jenny, Elizabeth and I will be entering together as Sister Servants. Oh how exciting these next two months are going to be.
Someone asked how did they tell me? Well I kinda knew last sunday that i was accepted, but Sister did say she was going to call back and let me know forsure. Well, I ended up calling instead since i was going out of town. She said that the Sisters are looking forword to seeing me in a couple of months. I kepot asking, are you serious?? Are you sure?? In August?? I was abit in shock but I was so happy to here that i have been accepted.
Praise Be Jesus Christ!!!!!!!

Hurrah Sixtina,
I am so pleased. Despite struggles, your perserverance brought you to an amazing community. Wow, with Birmingham so close and three Phatmassers in the same community, I may have to make a retreat. I always find two or three on the schedule I want to attend.
Peace and many many prayers.

Thanks everyone for your wonderful comments. I was at the TEC center last night and this morning. I cried and cried. i was at prayer most of the time, praying for those who were making their first TEC. Also i had friends who was on team, so i was praying for them as well.
If any one has visited my blog, pictures 2 perfect, may have noticed some rude comments. I had deleted a few but I am now moderating my comments going to my blog since they are starting to become very immature and highly rude. One on the other hand is still left on there, only because i haven't had time to delete it.
[mod]edit-- please keep private bickering private.[/mod]

Six,
May I suggest that it might be better just to delete and ignore the comments. By discussing them you only give them a longer life.
Congrats once again.
I am glad you had a good time with the OSF sisters. I found out that I will be working with them beginning in September at the hospital and am just thrilled to be a "part" of their work

Yes they do, but only ONE of them is across the river from the Motherhouse. The others are in other cities. Figure it out?

I woke up this morning for some reason thinking about the community. I can't believe I will be there in 2 months and 1 day with my 2 other Sisters TO BE, Jenny and Elizabeth!!
These next 2 months will be hard and then easy. Hard in a sort of way by leaving and spending the last few times with my family and friends. Easy in a most wonderful way because I have already started giving my cloths and possecions away. I have a huge black garbage bag full of cloths i don't need anymore or don't wear atleast, So my mom and my Sister get first picks and then my friends can have what is left!!! That part of preparing is so much fun and exciting!!!

Wow Nicole, I am so excited for you! Reading your post about waiting made me think about St. Therese and how she spent her months waiting to enter Carmel making small sacrifices for friends and family, in essence perfecting her little way. What a marvelous opportunity you have to show your love!!!
Prayers and
Peace,
Amanda
