Yaatee Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 TB, After all the discussion regarding your job acceptance, I have forgotten which community you'll be 'living' (and discerning?) with!

Santa Cruz Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 [quote name='TeresaBenedicta' timestamp='1310403035' post='2265766'] Thanks for all of the prayers and encouragement, everyone. It's a beautiful thing to trust in God's will alone. There is no real need to feel the sting of hurt pride, or at least no need to pay attention to it if it is there. There is no need to worry. There is no need to fear. Although emotions come and are felt strongly... God alone... and what can be better? It's all about loving Him, anyways, despite of... or perhaps because of our situations. If I am to be here at home for another year, then I embrace that... although it will continue to hurt and there will be suffering in it. If I am to just get up and move without regard to actually having a job, then I embrace that... although it will be difficult to do. I don't care [i]what[/i] it is God wants me to do... I just want to know it so I can do it. And I just don't know. Nor am I in a position to know. If He wanted me to know right now, He'd make it clear. I'm afraid I'm not listening very clearly... which is certainly possible. But luckily, with a superior and a spiritual director, I think that I'll be given my answer. And of course lots of prayer. [/quote] Amen!
Santa Cruz Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 [quote name='TeresaBenedicta' timestamp='1310416619' post='2265873'] Divine humour. Let's all just have a laugh, okay? 'Cause God's ways are, really, pretty hysterical. On a different note… prayers would be great right now. There's been a major turn in events and I've been offered the position. I need to pray and talk to my spiritual director and try and sort through this mess of a weekend. [/quote] Haha! Love it! Praying and trusting
Santa Cruz Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 (edited) [quote name='TeresaBenedicta' timestamp='1310508536' post='2266572'] Amen, amen!! He is [i]sooooo[/i] good to me!! Although, He has His hands full now- He's obligated to grant me even more graces to be able to do this job well!! I officially accepted the position. And I start on Aug. 8th. So that's just less than a month to get all packed up, moved, get a car, and get all settled. Oh man. Craziness. [/quote] Gosh, this is moving fast! Beautiful! I will be seeing you soon and praying for your transition, travels... Edited July 13, 2011 by Santa Cruz

I know I need to completely go through my room and "stuff". Get rid of things. Box other things. Pack things. That in itself is a headache. Unfortunately that's about as far I've gotten in my thinking.
Deus te Amat Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 This whole thread is so inspiring. Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience with us.
MargaretTeresa Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 Can I just say I'm so very excited for you! And I'll especially pray for you on the "Big Day" it will be two days before I move, 6 before my "nun run"

I'm now hitting the "Oh-my-goodness-what-am-I-doing-with-my-life-I-must-be-absolutely-crazy" stage.

Ain't nothing like being a fool for Christ, leaving all behind to follow Him down Via la Crucis! Enjoy the roller coaster ride of emotions...and ground yourself in prayer.
