[/quote] I was just thinking that yesterday! I was seriously going to post almost the exact same thing! I've been watching a wedding show on Netflix and I saw two beautiful Catholic weddings. The second one left me speechless. It was incredible! The bride and groom were so sweet together and really made a terrific couple. However, when my imagination lit up, all I could think about was saying my vows in front of a religious community -- to Jesus Christ -- in the community habit and veil. Believe me, I have fantasized on more than one occasion what I would love for my wedding if I ever got married. I've even visited bridal shop websites and looked at the dresses online and picked out what I would love to have -- including the bridesmaid dresses. I even know what I would choose for bouquets -- blue/violet hydrangea with white roses and blue Gerbera Daisies for the bridesmaids. I would love to have a cascading bouquet of hydrangea and roses with sprigs of Baby's Breath and Volkerfrieden Delphinium. All the details picked out, but I would erase all that to have my vow ceremony and my spouse would be Jesus Christ. It's really incredible how your perception changes. I am still open to marriage -- if God leads me down that path -- but I feel very strongly that there is a reason He keeps leading me back to discerning religious life!

IamMyBeloveds Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 When you look at the calendar and you only have [u]3 weeks left to go.[/u]..and when your "nun trunk" is sitting in the basement, lovingly packed and ready to be put in the back of your parents' car as they drive you to the convent! When your Sisters write you an e-mail ending with, "See you soon!" Soo excited...Please pray for me!

AnneLine Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 IamMyBeloveds.... how about a count-down thread? Not only are they fun, they are also a great way for us to keep tabs on you..... if you can check in from time to time, or if you want one of us to post an update..... Praying for you!
TheresaThoma Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 You are hanging out at a park with some friends and one of you realizes it is 5pm and asks the others if they brought their breviaries and if so would they like to pray evening prayer together. Of course everyone did and wants to! Instead of comforting your friends about "boy troubles" you comfort each other about discernment issues.

[/quote] That's a great idea! I've known her since August 2008 when we met at the convent she is re-entering. She is such a sweetheart. I'm so happy for her but, at the same time, I'm going to miss her so much! iammybeloveds -- if you would like help posting updates, I will be more than happy to help!
i<3LSOP Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 When you meet a nun you've never ever seen in your ENTIRE life and at the end of the really short conversation she says, "Now you get over here and give me a hug!" ...
