Sixtina87 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Posted February 13, 2006 [quote name='jgirl' date='Feb 12 2006, 10:54 PM']How I came to visit was that when I was seriously discerning the Martyrs, I got an email from United saying they were having a fare sale. For some reason, something told me to look up how much a plane ticket to Birmingham cost. At first I was thinking, "Why Birmingham? Wouldn't you rather go to New York or Toronto?" Then I remembered that my friend Alyssa had told me about the Sister Servants and that Sister Louise Marie had called me about 4 or 5 months earlier when I was driving to Wal-Mart (because I had filled out the info request on their website the day it went up). Her first words after introducing herself were something like, "So you live in a town called Normal. That's a riot, Jenny!" I kind of filed them away until the airfare sale. I tried calling them again, but I couldn't connect, and there was one day left, so I bought the tickets for a retreat weekend and hoped that there would be enough room (although when I asked to come on the retreat, I didn't say that I had already bought the tickets). So Nicole, I wasn't even invited to come visit. As you can probably tell from things I posted and things I probably won't, my first visit was best described as a comedy of errors, but I learned from them. They let me come back, and then they let me apply. If God is truly calling you to Birmingham, He will give you the grace for everything to fall into place. I wish I could come down that weekend, too, but I have lots of stuff on the weekends in March. Plus I have to build up some more vacation days because after Friday and Monday and the March for Life, they're pretty much all gone.

I always thought the marytrs were kewl...still do but i only think of them as friends and sometimes fmaily depending on the sister....but they helped me with my discernment and they knew me too well...thats why i think i didnt belogn with them is because of that fact that i grew up knowing them. But anways....they were the ones who made me think of the franciscan way of life...i have alwayus loved franciscans and i also love the dominicans....so the combo of the 2 is AWESOME!!!!

Laurentina1975 Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Wow, ya'll were busy and chatty up on this thread last night! Jgirl, what was your visit like with the Martyrs? Email me or something, I am curious about them. I've been chit-chatting with Sr. Beata now for over a year and have not been able to get my buns down there for a visit.

[right][snapback]885767[/snapback][/right] [/quote] <------ This is me trying not to hijack the thread......... Laurentina, the Martyrs are having a retreat March 10-12. I too have been chit-chatting (only recently and very informally) with Sr. Beata. So who knows... maybe the Holy Spirit has plans for you to visit in the near future.
