A Little Update

[Clare~Therese]

Hello! Some of you may remember me. Or not. Lol.

I had joined a religious community in August 2014. Almost a year ago now (time flies!), in January 2015, the community and I both decided that that monastery wasn't the right place for me. I couldn't keep up with the intensity of the life in a long term way. 

I've been lurking a lot but haven't logged in until today.

Anyway, I'm still thinking about religious life as an option for now. I've been contacting some communities, etc.

I remember you and it's good to have you back.  I'll pray for you in your continued discernment journey.

God bless you in your journey...I know it can be hard.

I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you in the Community and send my best wishes and prayers for you as you continue your journey.

Welcome back, Clare~Therese! 

Feel free to PM me if you would like to talk about anything... I spent time in a community too and it was always nice to chat with others who did the same!

Welcome back!

Welcome back!  I hope that you find the community that's just the right fit or whatever God has planned for you!

Welcome back!  God bless you as you seek to be faithful to His will, no matter where He leads!

If you haven't already, I encourage you to check out Leonie's Longing.  They're a ministry that helps women who have left religious life, and as another person who entered a community and discerned I wasn't called there, I have found the support and community there very helpful. http://www.leonieslonging.org/
