Klaudi87 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 [quote name='LadyOfSorrows' timestamp='1293933325' post='2195826'] Congratulations Klaudi!! Did you expect it to be so soon? That's...really soon. Haha. How do you think your parents will react? [/quote] Thanks! No, I didn't expect it to be so soon and neither did my parents. My mom took it ok but my dad didn't....all I can say is this is the biggest trial of my life. The enemy is putting up a fight.....the Lord is permitting it but he shall sustain me during these difficult times.
Klaudi87 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Hey guys! Just want to thank you all for your prayers!!! One more week till I leave though my official entrance date won't be till Jan 23, 2011 the Espousal of Our Lady and St. Joseph. What makes it even more special is that two of the sisters there in Massachussetts will be espousing Our Lord! Again thank you for your prayers they have kept me going! The first days when I told my parents were the worst of my life but things seem to be getting better. Of coarse my parents lecture me on how Im totally blinded and brainwashed but at least they said they werent going to stop me ....I might have to hear some lectures till the day I leave especially from my extended family ....but only one more week... of coarse I do continue to ask for your prayers as the enemy is very sneaky and you never know what he is up to ...now Im just working on gather all stuff I need to take with me to the convent

When they see how happy you are there, they'll wonder why on earth they didn't join, themselves!! You will definitely be in my prayers, Klaudi.

So I wouldn't doubt that you'll face some difficulties in trying to follow the call to enter an Order devoted to Her under the title of the Immaculate. But you're on the right path in following Her, and She won't mislead you. Praying for you!
Klaudi87 Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks guys!...you won't believe how difficult it is to find long navy blue skirts....I know it's not the latest fashion but still
MithLuin Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 Try Goodwill? They tend to have lots of basic stuff, at least in my area..

HopefulBride Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 I don't know if there is something like a Plato's closet in your area, you might want to try that.
Starets Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 try an SCA or Ren Fair group. they might know some seamstresses who coulk make one for you, if you bought the material

Plus, I have no homework this weekend. Have you tried any consignment shops? You might want to look in the phone book under "secondhand clothing" or "consignment shops." Or Google "consignment shops" with your city of residence. Or, if you have enough time to wait for shipping, I found some long skirts online.

regina_coeli Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Wow MM-- have you ever considered a career as a personal shopper? Great skirt, great price-- You are amazing!
Klaudi87 Posted January 7, 2011 Posted January 7, 2011 Thanks guys for all your great suggestions!! At this point I don't want to worry about shipping so I will probably continue to look at these second hand stores. Im also considering asking one of my aunts to see if she can make them since Ive heard its not too difficult to make skirts.

TeresaBenedicta Posted January 10, 2011 Posted January 10, 2011 NOT entering, sadly. But I'll be staying at the Novitiate for about four days.

Oh, and there are 891 more days until my anticipated Solemn Profession
