tnavarro61 Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 it happens to me, too. all of a sudden i wanted to stop all my devotions (i stopped praying the rosary for a year, but now i am slowly returning), I wanted to leave my present community, I want to just pause all month long, without nothing to do. I returned to prayer then i found the meaning of my life again. God bless! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisdomSeeker Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 [size=3]I know that I will get to where I need to be when the time is right. At the moment I am just taking each day as it comes and seeing what happens [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeniteAdoremus Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 You are, by the way, still very welcome to get covered in blisters between Ely and Walsingham with us, although I most certainly understand if you'd rather not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alicemary Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 I think a very good thought was brought up. Doubts, indeed are part of our human nature. Even when one enters religious life, the doubts, the dry spells will come and go. So often people think that once they enter the convent, seminary, it is clear sailing. It is not. The real time of testing of one's faith often begins in the novitiate. It is how you handle the doubts that will be an indicator if you remain there. Religious life is not easy AliceMary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one at the moment where I have been wearing my flip flops too much I have decided to leave things as they are at the moment, I am staying in contact with the religious orders I'm already in communication with and apart from that I am just going to take each day as it comes and see what happens Edited June 22, 2009 by WisdomSeeker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisdomSeeker Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 [size=3]I thought that I would let you know that I am feeling a bit better today (apart from the fact I now have a rotten cold ) I am hoping to be able to get (sorry if that is the wrong word) a SD soon as I don't have one at present. Thank you for all your prayers and wise words of advice [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WisdomSeeker Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 [size=3]I would like to say thank you to everyone for their help and words of advice. After taking some more time out to think about things I have decided to put everything to one side at the moment and concentrate on getting myself sorted out. Once that is done then if it is meant to be I will start discerning again. Again thank you all so much for all your help and patience [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the lords sheep Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I still strongly recommend that you find a spiritual director. Having someone to advise you and pray for and with you can greatly help in the "sorting out" process. My SD has the uncanny ability to remind me that sometimes I'm making things more complicated than I ought. Spiritual direction is not just for discernment- it's for learning to live the Christian life in the midst of all the messes that we make in our own lives... God bless you! And keep visiting us!!!

WisdomSeeker Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 (edited) Thank you all for your help and support, I am finally coming out of the tunnel into the light. I know that the path will at times be rocky and the journey will sometimes be hard, but with the help of the saints and with much prayer I know that if it is Gods will I will persevere.
