kavalame Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 [quote name='Lisa' timestamp='1299293402' post='2218090'] Hi! Welcome to phatmass- sorry you didn't get a proper welcome! But you are here and we're excited to have you! Would you like to tell us a little about your discernment? [/quote] Thank you for your interest in my discernment. Briefly, I'm 19, live at home with my family and attend a Community College. I have felt called to be a nun since I was 14 years old, my folks aren't too happy and hope it is just a passing phase. I don't talk about it with them anymore. I really love Mother Angelica's nuns. They are so beautiful and have such a beautiful habit. kavalame

My family is truly not happy about me becoming a sister. I personally am attracted to the Dominicans, I seem to fit well with them since they are little crazy like I am. lol. I don't talk about my discernment with my family either, I wait for them to bring it up and then I'll talk about it and I try and pretend I am not ecstatically happy about it. The advice I have been given is to pray and persevere and that is what I would tell you to do. If God is calling you He will provide. Thank you for sharing. Emilie

It was just weird to see you calling someone "Master" [/quote] I am indeed dyslexic, but I was being funny with the leave me alone part. Sometimes dyslexia is funny and makes you read things funny, for instance there is some brand of chocolate I saw somewhere called Tante Chocolate and I read Tantric Chocolate. You know like the thing Sting does. Caused some interesting images to pop in my head. Chocolatiers doing weird yoga poses while making chocolate. Dyslexia is fun! lol

Have you seen the blog of the PCPA's at Hanceville lately? They are now advertising for new vocations, which is something they have never done before. Check it out! Who knows, that could be you one day soon! God bless you on your journey.

[/quote] I'm not worried about it and I was not in the least bit offended. Jesus is my only master, because we cannot serve two masters as last Sunday's readings reminded me. What would life be without typing mistakes and autocorrect on the iPhone doing funny things. lol [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1299389659' post='2218465'] But then I can't call her Igor anymore!

Although dyslexic people struggle with literacy, they have real strengths in other areas. I love your attitude to this 'gift' from God and am sure you will made a wonderful religious some day

I went to a school specifically for kids with learning differences. I personally have dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalcula. Most of the time I don't have issues and some times the dyslexia is fun because I read things wrong and end up with something fun. Thanks to my school most people would never guess I have a learning difference. I go to a highly esteemed Catholic Liberal Arts university and the only times as an adult I have an issue is trying to learn a foreign language. It is a gift, I see the world in a different way than most people and that has made all the difference.
