OnlySunshine Posted October 15, 2012 Author Posted October 15, 2012 [quote name='HopefulBride' timestamp='1350274367' post='2493556'] MM, I hope you enjoyed your trip to California and that you hear something soon. Prayers! [/quote] Thank you. My trip went very well and I miss California already. I'm still on their time. I don't know if I'll ever go back again but I sure do love it there (everything except the smog and gas prices)!
HopefulBride Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Ha! How ever did you get to California time??? I am still on Florida time and I've been in Spokane for over a week! I keep trying to stay up late so that I can wake up later but I still end up waking at 7 Florida time which is 4 am here. I'm sure I'll get it eventually... yes gas prices are outrageous over here....

We never ate dinner -- just snacked and had breakfast and lunch only. It was a wonderful trip. I loved almost every minute of it and wish I could go back. There was one day (Monday, I think) where we went to Beverly Hills (Rodeo Dr) and walked up by the park where the houses are. There is one house there that I would totally buy. It was beautiful! I think it was a terra cotta color and it had a Spanish roof. The owners let beautiful vines with flowers grow up the sides. It was very tasteful and not too overdone. I bet, on the market, it is about $5 million, though! Edited October 16, 2012 by MaterMisericordiae
HopefulBride Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 [quote name='MaterMisericordiae' timestamp='1350557018' post='2494381'] I'm still waiting patiently. [/quote] Wow. Your patience is commendable. I truly pray and hope you hear something soon and that the Holy Spirit continues to guide you as you prepare for whatever the Lord has planned for you.

EmilyAnn Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 You have been so patient through all of this. I pray you hear from your community soon!
Totally Franciscan Posted October 18, 2012 Posted October 18, 2012 Mater, as has been brought up a while ago regarding another discerner waiting to hear from her community, this just might be a test by the community to see if you give up on them, your vocation, or if you might get testy with them for not contacting you. You have been amazingly patient, and my hope is that God will reward you abundantly in the very near future. Hang in there! We are all praying for you.

TheresaThoma Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 Calling once to check if your contact info didn't go astray I think is perfectly ok! Don't worry about it.

AnneLine Posted October 19, 2012 Posted October 19, 2012 (edited) I think we should all consider a novena to Our Lady, Undooer of knots for MM. Not that she gets one answer or the other (altho we certainly have our preferences!!!!) but that her way will be unknotted and her life from now on be under our Mother's Protection. Anyone in?
