Count down: 20 Days!!!

I am sort of speechless as to what to say. I have many mixed emotions right now but my desire to be a Dominican Nun does not cease. I feel God calling me and I wish to follow.

I guess I never really realized how much my family and friends would miss me. But as my entrance day draws near everything is becoming clearer. I love my friends and family so much but I do not want to live a life of complacency. I do not wish to simply be satisfied with my relationship with God, but to instead always become closer in our relationship.

I know that if I were not to answere Gods call, I would be deeply upset, for there would be an emptyness deep within my soul. Yes, I could do many things but in knowing I wasn't doing God's will, I would personally be in great dismay.

God is so good!! Thank you Lord for a new day, for blessing me with life!!!

Wonderful wonderful news! Let me tell you what an inspiration that you are to me! It was wonderful also to see pictures of Mother Mary Valerie and Sister Mary Imelda! I really do miss them and I have been terriably awful about writing them, and just about anyone else I write to!
This is so exciting! What is the date set for? I will be sure to offer up many prayers for you that day! I would try to figure it out from the countdown, but people countdown differently...
I am so excited for you and the Dominicans as well!!!! You make me want to drop out of college and go enter the monaster now! But I think I will stick out one more year of college...
God bless you! Thank the Lord you have opened your heart and listened to the Will of Our Lord, calling you to be his most beautiful bride! I feel like crying :) This is wonderful!!!!!!!!!!! We will remember you in our prayers always!

Count down: 19 days!!!

People continue to ask me as they find out im leaving... Why did you choose this life, why this order?!?! They look at me with a great state of confusion, mouths dropped and quite curious. Wont you be lonely? Doesn't it upset you that you will never marry or have children? And the never ending list of questions continues...

As I listen to there questions and try to put into words how I feel, I am reminded even moreso how happy I am that I will be entering the convent. I do not feel lonely, or regret knowing I will never get married or have children. In fact, I think I would be feeling lonely if I were to not answere God's call.

At a little gathering after school today my class mates continued to ask me questions and were "stunned" as they put it, yet amazed and happy for me. Although they may not understand my reasoning they could sense my joy. My class mates were telling me how happy I appeared and how that filled them with joy. God is SO good!!

I even was asked questions about shopping, tee hee... I simply said, shopping is fun, yes... But I do not need it, that this is worth it and will bring true joy. As I think about it more deeply nothing can compare to Gods unconditional love and His will for us all. I trust in our Lord and am filled with a pure peace, love and joy. I am extremely estatic and am becoming even more giddier by the hour... Tee hee...

And as I draw closer to God the worldly, materialistic things loose all interest in my site. I seem to no longer be attracted to these things but instead even more so to God and our Mother Mary, to holy men and woman of God.

Thank you Lord God for blessing me with my faith family. Thank you!!

Hey Karin!! It went lovely, thank you for asking. I chose to not sing in it but my friends all sang beautiful songs!! To my surprise many of my class mates sang religous songs, it was amazing, and at a public school! Praise God!!
