DiscerningSoul Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 After my last "try" with the Visitations(Who are a wonderful community) I was blinded by fear not only that time but the others too. Even though I still felt "called" I ignored it for almost a year. Recently thou I have felt like God is "pushing" me, I have never felt so sure in my life! I am quiting one of my jobs so I can goto Mass everyday instead of just Sunday and making my vocation discernment "front and center" of my life. I know where he is leading me and why, I am leaving the fear behind me! I ask all of you if you will please pray for me as I come back to my beloved Lord. Thank you, Jessica
HopefulBride Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Jessica, Prayers for you as you rededicate yourself to your discernment. Hopeful
OnlySunshine Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 I had been wondering where you got too, missy! I'm so glad to hear that you are still discerning. Fear is difficult to get past, but once you do, it's exhilarating! I'm praying you find your vocation soon.

CatherineM Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Sometimes God has to knock with a sledgehammer to really get our attention.

[/quote] I am not sure anything could be more true. I know God tends to smack me on the back of the head quite hard sometimes, like in the case of a vocation to the religious life. My head still kind of hurts from that one. lol
DiscerningSoul Posted March 6, 2011 Author Posted March 6, 2011 April 1st cant come fast enough, I so look forward to daily visits with my beloved Lord. Thank you all for your prayers and support.
LaPetiteSoeur Posted March 6, 2011 Posted March 6, 2011 Prayers going your way in your discernment I know what you mean, about being stubborn with God. I was the same. I WAS NOT TO BE A NUN! I was not going to be, I was not going to be....until I realized I had to do God's will, not mine. And guess what! I'm happier now than I was when I was running away from Him! He always welomes us back.

DiscerningSoul Posted March 7, 2011 Author Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) Yes DAILY MASS!!! WOOT April 1st and thats not an april f oo ls joke! (F oo ls is this way because the forum kept changing the word.) I have been telling others I am going to start my own pet sitting bussiness. I want to keep my vocation discernment under wraps for now, I want to concentrate on God and his will for my life. and thank you all for your prayers and support!

JessicaKoch Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 For the life of me I can't remember my password for my account "DiscerningSoul". So excuse the SC. I don't want to say to much but two prayers were answered today! Now there is no doubt that our Lord is calling me to the cloister. So I just ask for continued prayer, maybe a little prayer that I will remember my password? LOL

Being so sure of my vocation and path has taken a huge weight off my back and my heart has expanded so. Its like when someone turns on the light and you can now see.
