Spem in alium Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone. First, thank you all so much for your kind words of advice and support. Each reply was helpful in one way or another. I've really taken your words to heart. Second, I just wanted to post an "update" of sorts. Today I met with a close family friend (who is a priest) to discuss my thoughts and feelings. I came away from the meeting feeling a lot more guided. He advised me to get in contact with certain orders, but to keep with my studies, pursue my academic goals and get some more life experience before I pursue my vocation deeply. I'm a person who likes to be certain about things, and I think that's the main problem I face here. I can never be certain about this! I just want to know what my purpose is and get started on achieving it, but through talking with people like yourselves and with priests I know that I have to be patient and allow God to fill my heart and my life. I know in my heart that God's Will for me is to create goodness and happiness not only in my life but in the lives of others. In the end, I make the choices, not Him - and that demands responsible discernment and action. I feel confident that I can follow His Will as a married, single or religious person. Yet my heart is pulling me in different directions. I'm becoming more at peace with the idea that it could take me a while to know what I want to do and where I want to be, and just trusting the Lord and Our Blessed Mother makes that peace clearer and easier to obtain. Thank you all again. I really appreciate the help I have received here. I will keep you all in my prayers as I move on in my life's journey (and will update if anything significant happens!) May God bless you all, each and every day. Edited May 4, 2012 by Spem in alium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
