vee Posted June 2, 2016 Author Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) I got the call this morning, they voted yes, Ive been officially accepted into the postulancy and can enter July 16th God willing Edited June 2, 2016 by vee Dominicans
Luigi Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) CONGRATULATIONS, Sister Mary Tuberculotions of the Interminable Wait! And that means you have only about six weeks to prepare for entrance. Which won't be all that long, compared to how long you've waited to get to this point, if that makes sense. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Dominicans. I heartily approve!

dominicansoul Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 I couldn't be more happier right now and proud of you Vee! We've been BFFs now for what...6 years??? Seems like forever. I always knew the journey would lead here. Now I will get to become BFFs with a whole household of Carmelites! Go with Christ! And I'll see you in a few weeks!
Charbel Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Yay! I am so happy for you vee! Carmel love and blessings!!

Pax17 Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Congratulations, vee. VS just won"t be the same without you.
Spem in alium Posted June 2, 2016 Posted June 2, 2016 Oh I am sooo happy for you!!!! Blessings always!!!
vee Posted June 2, 2016 Author Posted June 2, 2016 So Ive got five weeks basically to get my act together! Yes the 16th is six weeks away but the week prior to that I want to do a little vacation sightseeing trip with whichever family members and ds want to come along. The hardest part is just getting rid of my stuff, my apartment, and making sure I have what I need. I faced the inquisition from my sister this morning. She says she can understand the life just not me in it! She thinks Ill be the first person they ever kick out I said ya maybe! I really appreciate the prayers Im sure they help a lot for both me and my family. They have been more supportive than i expected.
BarbTherese Posted June 3, 2016 Posted June 3, 2016 How wonderful for you at last, Vee! Congratulations and may The Holy Spirit be your strength, guide and inspiration every step of the journey!
vee Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 yes I need the Holy Spirit very much for those things especially right now!! Im glad this part is quick because Im feeling the pain of detachment from things as I start to get rid of stuff, and hardest of all how I will interact with my family and bff. I love them and Im gong to miss them and miss being a part of things with them. This really is impossible and stupid if there was no God, it wasnt for Him, and people didnt have His help.

vee Posted June 3, 2016 Author Posted June 3, 2016 I hate leaving things til the last minute so Ive already given my notice at work, and to my landlord. Two weeks for my job and two months for my condo. Ive gone through my finances to make sure thats all in order. Please pray my room mate can find another good place to live ASAP. The housing market here is pretty tight so I would really appreciate any prayers for that! Thanks!
vee Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 Well this is interesting. Before entering Id been hoping to have a little vacation, do a little sightseeing and just relax and have fun with whichever family and ds could come along. It turns out itll jsut be DS!!! Its rather appropriate though because she's been with me on this journey this whole time and we have had many adventures together. She isnt genetically related to me but is just as much sister and in some ways even more so than my biological sister because we have spiritual things in common like our faith. This is gonna be the best trip ever, time to plan in detail our havoc wreaking!
vee Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 BTW the nuns have been warned. I even mentioned DS' promise to stuff me in the turn if I suddenly get cold feet and the prioress laughed and said "good for her!"
