Hello! Praised be Jesus Christ!
At the request of a few phatmassers, I am going to post a countdown to my re-entrance into the Carmelite Sisters DCJ. In doing this, I absolutely wish NOT to draw attention to myself, but only ask for prayers, prayers, and more prayers!! I am so very weak and without prayer I can do nothing.
So here's the countdown, as requested: I am re-entering the Carmel of the Divine Heart of Jesus on evening June 14th, the eve of the Feast of the Sacred Heart. Family is driving me on June 12th to the convent. I'll countdown using the 12th.
20 Days!

I'll be honest, it was a little bit hard for me to decide to start this thread, because since I am RE-entering, I feel a bit "unworthy" to get excited and share my joy.
...I'm a bit nervous to post this countdown because I feel like I don't want to let anyone down if I "can't make it". But how deeply I do want to persevere by His grace alone! It was so easy to be very elated the first time and share my joy with the world, shout it from the mountaintops, etc. Now, knowing full-well the challenges and absolute beauty that convent life entails, I ask sincerely for prayers, most of all. I am at a deep sense of peace and joy in giving up my job and other things I held so tightly to.The second time around, it is a quiet serenity and a peaceful acceptance of God's will. It's been a challenging yet beautiful journey. I am at peace in HIM and I cannot wait to go HOME!
God bless you all! Thank you for the prayers!!
