DiscerningCatholic Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 Hi, all! I know I haven't been on PM in...well, FOREVER. I haven't fallen off the face of the planet, I promise. I'm also not in the convent. I am, however, preparing for my second DSMME retreat this weekend. I'm as nervous as a racehorse. I am hoping to get application papers and start the application process in short order after returning home. This is a huge step for me and to say that the thought is daunting is a major understatement. The only thing worrying me regarding paperwork and credentials at this point (probably for no reason) is my SAT score. Everything else seems to be in good working order.
OnlySunshine Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Prayers!!!! Give your worries up to God. If you are meant to be there, He'll make it happen. ;)
Feankie Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Hey there, DC....I was just about to start a thread asking about your whereabouts and that of Lil Mon. We've missed hearing from you! But what great news you decided to surprise us with, Prayers for you on your journey,
DiscerningCatholic Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 I guess this will be my regular discernment update thread since all of the other ones seem to have gotten lost in the Great Phatmass Purge of several months ago. (Thanks, Dust!) I'll try and keep y'all updated more than I have recently; I've kinda been taking a break from PM.
DiscerningCatholic Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 Flight leaves tomorrow at 7:51 EST... :unsure:
ToJesusMyHeart Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Look for the fruits of the Holy Spirit. Peace and joy are especially good indicators of confirmation in discernment. Peace, most of all, in my opinion.
DiscerningCatholic Posted November 7, 2013 Author Posted November 7, 2013 I'm just nervous right now. I'm sure that once I get there, I'll feel fine. I'm just a nervous wreck right now.
TheresaThoma Posted November 7, 2013 Posted November 7, 2013 Just remember to keep breathing and it will be fine.
VeniJesuAmorMi Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Flight leaves tomorrow at 7:51 EST... :unsure: Prayers for safe travels and for your time during the retreat. I don't know if you'll check this thread before you leave, but will you please say a prayer for me also? I will be leaving tomorrow morning for a week stay at a Carmel. Thanks so much. :)
Feankie Posted November 8, 2013 Posted November 8, 2013 Prayers for all of you traveling this weekend (and beyond ) May your time with the Sisters be fruitful and joyful.
TheresaThoma Posted November 9, 2013 Posted November 9, 2013 I want to know how the cookies tasted. The Sisters were posting pictures of them making lovely chocolate chip cookies for the retreat!!
DiscerningCatholic Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 So this is the post where I tell you that I got application papers and am a candidate. I got application papers and am a candidate. (P.S. I didn't eat any of the cookies... :| I'm awkward like that.)
DiscerningCatholic Posted November 11, 2013 Author Posted November 11, 2013 OOH, and I SAW Sr. Iranaeus (former PM'er "Lisa")...didn't get to talk to her at all, though.
Kateri89 Posted November 11, 2013 Posted November 11, 2013 So this is the post where I tell you that I got application papers and am a candidate. I got application papers and am a candidate. (P.S. I didn't eat any of the cookies... :| I'm awkward like that.) Yay!!!!!!! That is fantastic :)
