As I have been discerning where the Lord calls me, He has taken me here, there, and yonder teaching me many things about myself, about others, and about Himself who draws me nearer. At times I step back, asking lots of questions, seeking the Lord's face, desiring to know His love and His desire for my life as He continues to reveal to me I am His and His love is unconditional and unending. After 3 years of waiting (and 4 years of discerning the Little Sisters) sometimes in lots of noise and other times in silence, learning so many different things, I have come to understand so much more of what the Lord wants from me -- He wants my happiness but most importantly He just wants me....not for what I can do or accomplish, but FOR ME....

Being in Chicago with all the different areas I worked in, helped me see that what I thought I could do is nothing compared to what I can do if I trust the Lord and rely on His graces to give me what I need in order to accomplish many things. It helped me see the desire within to become a nurse and the help that I could provide if I would step out on faith. Stepping back over the summer months has helped me see so much as well -- this desire to go back to school and that I couldn't just dismiss it any longer.....

I am taking a bit of a detour...with schools already starting and the fact that I haven't filled out a FAFSA in a long time, I have decided to fill out all the necessary paperwork to see what help I can receive and in doing this I have also decided to take an internship out in Colorado where I am so excited to see the Lord's hand upon this opportunity and to see what He reveals during this time.

I wanted to thank each and everyone of you for your continued prayers as I assure you of mine. I don't know what the future holds, but I am confident in who holds it! and truly, "Anything is possible with God"

Thank you for giving us an example of courage and obedience we can follow

Praised be Jesus Christ!

May God bless you for listening to your heart, and for being obedient to the stirrings therein! It is often so difficult to hear the Holy Spirit, and the poster above is correct...what an excellent show of obedience for all of us!

Discernment is a life-long process, for God never stops speaking to us, and thank you for sharing a little bit of that with us!

God bless you, dear one!
