WOW [/quote] I think most people can relate. I know I definitely can! It's just the transition as the dreams/hopes/fears/plans actually materialize. God bless you! (and, ps- tell the Sisters to update their site!) You'll be in our prayers! Lauren
praying4carmel Posted October 12, 2008 Posted October 12, 2008 [quote name='Saint Therese' post='1671252' date='Oct 6 2008, 02:06 AM']Hola Pham! I wanted to share with my phamily, that I'm FINALLY being able to make an attenuated live in aspirancy with the Dominican Nuns at Lockport. Thanks be to God! This is only possible because a benefactor willbe helping me financially, which is so awesome. I'm really excited, but terrified at the same time. Excited because I've been working towards this for awhile, and terrified because after all, I am still me. So, I hope that all VSers will keep me in your prayers! If all goes according to plan, I will leave on Nov.4. God bless you![/quote] God Bless and I will Pray for you! Congratulations!!!!!!!

Saint Therese Posted October 13, 2008 Author Posted October 13, 2008 Terror is right. This week I'm going to have tell my dad as well as arrange for my leave of absence from work. It'll definitely be interesting.
DiscerningSoul Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 I am sure things will be ok, have trust in our Lord and faith to follow his call even if that means your family is against it. Also know you are not alone in your plight, a friend of mine entered the pink sisters and her family was against it. Put all trust and faith in God, lean on him always, that is what our Lord has taught me and still teaching me.

BG45 Posted October 13, 2008 Posted October 13, 2008 Congratulations. Knowing how it is with unsupportive family on even becoming Catholic (my dad), I will definitely keep you in my prayers.
Saint Therese Posted October 14, 2008 Author Posted October 14, 2008 Thank you! I'll pray for you also.
littlesister Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Ah, yes. Joy and terror. Well said! We've all been there, but that doesn't make it any easier! The terror won't last. The joy will. Trust it.

littlesister Posted October 14, 2008 Posted October 14, 2008 Little Sisters of the Poor. L-o-n-g time ago. The terror evaporated in a day or two. The joy has lasted for decades. God bless.
