Then you can push Vee through the turn of a Dominican convent. and Id like to ask anyone reading this for a quick prayer for my family, in particular for me, my sister, and one of my brothers. its nothing to do with any sort of possible vocation but rather things we are currently dealing with. Im the one helping my bro out as he goes through some things and my sister is worried about the health of one of her kids, so pray for my nephew too! Please and thank you!
vee Posted April 25, 2016 Author Posted April 25, 2016 Still waiting! In the meantime Ive decided to do some spring cleaning and was going through old emails. I found my first conversations with the community im interested in and its funny how they are almost meant for me to read now after all this time. For example she repeatedly tells me to have courage this being one example Im putting here for my own reminder. " Dear vee, May God grant you the beautiful vocation of someday being His spouse. ... Please keep praying for your vocation and then let nothing change your mind. Courage." Considering all Ive been through between then and now that was really something to read
dominicansoul Posted April 26, 2016 Posted April 26, 2016 wow, those two months went by fast.... our week of havoc is just around the corner!!!

vee Posted May 3, 2016 Author Posted May 3, 2016 2.5 days til the fun...er havoc begins! I was hoping to avoid telling extended family members until I had an entrance date, but as life goes I ended up telling one aunt in particular today. She seemed shocked yet supportive and unlike my siblings actually asked some further questions. Things like what do they do and how did I come to this decision. I gave her short answers such as their main sources of income and type of labor. For my decision I spoke of how this is something I feel I have to try and there is no commitment for a while. Im the only practicing Catholic in my family so they are very unfamiliar with anything to do with religious life, let alone Carmelite life ie they have no clue about the grilles! I want them to learn by being there because if I say too much before hand they might get some strange ideas. I pray that they will sit in the chapel and feel God's love and peace. That they will feel at home, never want to leave, come back to the faith and move next door!

dominicansoul Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Well, vacation is over and Vee is gone... You can define our vacation as "Holy Hours and Happy Hours." One of the best vacations ever!!!!!
vee Posted May 19, 2016 Author Posted May 19, 2016 I remember when I first discovered that cloistered contemplative life still existed and my first thoughts and encounters with that Thoughts along the lines of "people still do that?!?!" and "what is wrong with them!" A conversation with a family member today showed me that Id started to take as familiar something that is very unfamiliar to most people, even me at one time. I was offering the most basic and simple of explanations of things to this person but I could see her trying to process it. Instead of having harsh reactions to my possibility of entering, my family doesnt even know what kind of life it is! if I do go I think they will learn rather quickly just by visiting, and I bought a video on that life to show them too if they need it.

dominicansoul Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I'm already stumped buy me a book while you're at it...
