zabbazooey Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 I wish I could go for aspirancy!!!!!! I am sooo not ready to enter a convent. I have so much more to learn about the Church and Her teachings that it's just so overwhelming!!!
karin Posted July 26, 2005 Author Posted July 26, 2005 You will probably get to go for an aspirancy sometime once you are closer to being able to enter
ofpheritup Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 (edited) Karin YOU IMPRESS ME. The first week you are there it will be a little "nerve wracking" even though it is some place you want to be. Because it is all new and you will be learning and finding your place. On all the levels emotionally, spiritually and physically. You will be learning the RYTHYM of the house. From what I have read of your letters you are intelligent have a lot of common sense and a great capacity to love. You will do well, keep your eyes on Jesus and Mary. Don't pay any attention to BUTTLESCOOT (Satan) his job will be to tell you you are wasting your time. As we follow God he throws up roadblocks. That is our verification that we are going the right way. We will be, are, is going to, can, and have been praying for you. Edited July 26, 2005 by ofpheritup
Marieteresa Posted July 26, 2005 Posted July 26, 2005 Hey Karin, I have a question for you....So Aspirancy is 3 months and then what happens after that? Will you enter right afterwards if you feel like thats the place where he wants you. Or will you go home and wait a few months and then enter? Just wondering

So how many days are left, Karin?

Thanks for the insight to about when I go and I so appriciate your prayers you have no idea how much they mean to me. That post really was lovely teehee, it made my soul feel beautiful . OK on to other post that have been eh posted. Yes I know Angela some dont i realized that after i said what i said and i didnt really think it mattered that much at least not enough to change it tee hee. Also some one asked what happens after aspirancy. well most of the time you do enter straight into postulancy if you are interested in the order or if not immediately bthen soon after. BUt with me because of my age I will be required by law to go home. If I had parental permission then I could enter the monastery when I was 16 because the monastery made the offer but my parents will not give permission for any thing earlier than 17 so that's when I will enter. unless God has plans for earlier or later. I am very exhausted today from a one day road trip I made with my sister today so i wont post more today . thank you so much for you prayers all of you. Well now that I think of it I might post more later cause I have something i think is semi relevantto the topic so i might be back later lol. God Bless and Mary keep... Karin
Hannah Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 oops I didn't read your post just above before I asked that!
futurenun Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Hey Karin this is Sara i might be visiting the order while you are there i might get to see you. Well I hope to get to meet you. I hae only four more days till WYD woohoo! God Bless and I know that you will have fun for your aspirancy.

Pray to St. Theresa the Little Flower remember she was in a situation very similar to you. I'm asking my MOMMY to pray for you. She has a great devotion to St. Theresa. It ain't over til it's over.
karin Posted July 28, 2005 Author Posted July 28, 2005 oh thank you very much opheritup! Yeah me an Therese are close buddys. Oh I am not saying it will not happen for me to enter at 16 I am just saying that I need to work on my parents more lol. Well I wasnt able to get on last night again to say my some what relavant thought so here it is. If you had been reading the furture nun support group thread then you would have seen that my mother made a condition for God that i couldnt go unless i was feeling better from my unknown illness. At the time that made me very upset, but I have noticed how God used it for the good. I had a very strong attachtment to go for my aspirancy and after my mother made those conditions with God I was very very upset at the thought of not going. Well I prayed about and finally i realized that my aspirancy is a gift and I should be thankful that I even have a chance to go because many people dont get that chance, and I realized that I needed to trust in God if He wants me to go I will go no matter what and if He doesnt I am not going it just wont happen. As soon as I came to those conclusions then the very next day I felt better from all my illness and I havent felt bad for about three weeks. I think God used my mothers unfortunate actions to purge me from my attachtment to the aspirancy. So I am very grateful my mother did what she did. Well that was my relavant thought for today. tee hee OH MY GOSH 14 days I think I might die of exctement right here... actually I wont cause then i couldnt go but still wowzer how awesome tee hee. Oh Sara that would be so exciting if you came while I was there I would LOVE to meet you. God Bless and Mary keep you all. Thanks for reading Karin
jgirl Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Here's my random question... What do you wear when you are an aspirant? Regular clothes? A jumper like Sister Marjorie? Just curious!
zabbazooey Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 Yes, I would like to know that as well....good question!!!
benedictaj Posted July 28, 2005 Posted July 28, 2005 O my goodness Karin!!!!! Its getting closer!!!!!!!! This is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!! I soooooo wish I could come this Sept/Oct.....but it doesn't look like it.
karin Posted July 30, 2005 Author Posted July 30, 2005 13 days lalala WAHOOO!!! Well I am getting so excited as might be expected. I will be wearing i think the same thing Sister Marjorie wears which is what a postulant wears. Well tonight in mass i got super dizzy again and i was coughing all the way through. So it made my mom very worried but I dont think she will call off the trip unless it happens again this one time one change her permanent descision.. thank you Jesus for that. While I was feeeling bad during mass i got so scared that i wouldnt be able to go if my mom found out i wasnt feeling well and so I was praying. "Christ I surrender to your will. I surrender to your will. " I just kept repeating those worss attempting to trust Christ thouroughly with my everything because if I do it will be ok. well thats all for tonight God bless and Mary keep. PLEASE keep up the prayers y'all. Karin
karin Posted July 31, 2005 Author Posted July 31, 2005 11 days until I go and tonight I am leaving to go to camp until firday. i wish I didnt have to because I wont get to go to mass all week. it made me cry after church I was so upset. Because I wanted to go to spanish mass. how immature of me crying because I dont get my way. it does seem so hard though i will miss my church so badly and my preist and every one even the people from spanish mass who I dont even speak the same language as today would have been my last day until to have a chance to go spanish mass. I love mass so. Last night I was slain in the spirit and the healing service that was after mass so was my best friend I havent really done that before. Gosh I will miss every one so much! and everything. How i must have such an awful attachtment to them . I need not to have an attachtment to all thses people and things. It is like they are a part of me so it hurts horrible and God is cleansing me from them. I hang on to them with all my might as God wrenches them away from me. Yet I just keeping getting more attatchment keeping me from Christ. Life can be so hard. yet I am sure i have an easy life compared to others. God Bless and Mary keep Love, Karin
zabbazooey Posted July 31, 2005 Posted July 31, 2005 I really do pray that you are able to go! You would have such a great time.
