But I dumped Rachel. We didn't go out on valentines day and I hardly know her. It would be perfect if you were mine. :)

[sista2b]

i wouldn't become one if they didn't.

theres some "sisters" close by but....the street clothes are the least of thier problems and i'll leave it at that

but yeah, as a novice i'll get the dominican habit and a new name.

I seriously don't know what GOd has planned for me. I haven't asked GOd for a confirmation on what vocation to choose yet, maybe because I'm scared? I seem to notice the blessing and trials that come with each choice, and it's difficult for me to make a long term decision. Maybe it's not time to decide yet.

I would love to marry a devout Catholic man and raise a rooted Catholic family. There would be so many joys of family support. What hinders me from this is the idea of bringing people into this horrible world. Children are definitely blessings from God, and I'm scared of the trials that will come with ensuring that they become wheat and not weeds.

I wouldn't mind religous life either. I love GOd, and somehow i think it's in my blood to live a religious life. i have an uncle priest and 3 aunts who are nuns. I love serving God. What hinders me from this is not knowing which area to serve in. Also, I i'm not sure I can absorb a vow of poverty that nuns take.

Blessing singleness is not that bad. I have the flexibility and mobility to freely serve God through my work environment and other people I come in contact with. I don't take a vow over poverty. I still must live in chastity. However, I don't know about my living conditions. I dont' know if I would live by myself or with a family member's family so i can have sense of family? I guess loneliness scares me.

so yeah that's me.

Give it time. I have been discerning with a certain religious community for over 2 years now. It is just not the time. God will let you know. :)

Wow!!! That is so much like me!!!! I'm sure that many people would pray for you if you went to the Trading Post for prayers....I'll pray for you anyway ;)

Another discernment thread! Yay!

I posted on the other one that I just returned from spending 10 days with the Sisters of Our Lady Immaculate. It was amesome. I totally recommend them to any girls who are discerning. They wear the habit, pray 15 decades of the Rosary every day, have daily adoration, teach catchism (they're awsomely orthodox), sing the parts of the Mass in Latin, run a retirement home (Sunday Mass and nightly Rosary are open to the residents) and are just amesome!

They are everything I was looking for in an order, and more!

That's great that you can find a place you like so much!!
