To be a nun or not, Saint Therese of Lisieux and Prayer

To be a nun or not

I know some people may think I maybe crazy, because of the life I feel like I'm willing to live. I feel that God has a plan for each of us and sometimes it's not the life that we dreamed of living. But sometimes he has better things in store for you. I feel in my heart that Jesus has chosen me to be his bride. Even though sometimes I question him asking him why? But when I pray I get comfort. Jesus is telling me to be patience and not to be afraid. I have learned alot so far and I even have an order picked out. I have learned alot about it and read alot :). I love how it seems like they are a family.

Saint Therese of Lisieux

I  learned about St. Theresa from a young age and I always found her to be interesting. I loved reading about her. Well now as an adult I find her to be even more interesting and she had lots of courage. The one amazing things is that all of the girls in the family had became sisters. They also lived an amazing life.....

Praying

Praying has been a big part of life, but i spend alot of time praying most recently. Prayer can be an amazing thing and often times it gives people comfort. In my time in prayer I spend it asking Jesus if this what he wants from me.I alsi pray for my friends one for sure is Mary and my bestie Megan that everything is ok with her health. My family also, my brother for sure but I'm putting this in God's hands.

JOY

This has been an amazing journey so far, the support from people has been more than I can put into words. It gives me a SMILE on my face and tears in my eyes to know that so many are praying fo me. I have been going to mass everyday and when I don't go it's like something is missing which seems kinda weird, it makes my day better. Well anyways I'm pretty sure that God is calling me to become a nun... I know most of my friends think it's crazy, but you have to understand it to understand me and why. Well anyways my heart is filled joy when I think about what is still to come and I know GOD has bigger plans for me and I can't wait. But I had the best phone conversation with an order Friday. I got a phone from a Maryknoll sister, we talked about alot of things and learned alot abot the order. But I think before I do anything else I want to do some mission work outside the US, before I enter any community.

mass

Joy in my HEART

All I can say is God is GREAT, I feel like I'm getting closer to where I should be :). I believe I meant to be something better than working at Wal-mart. I want to work with the poor, I want to serve the poorest people feed the poor. These are people just like the rest of us, even though they don't have money like us. When I think about leaving everything belind even my family and my closest dearest friends I smile because I know no matter where I'm at they will be with me in my heart. But I know this what I'm meant to do and what is in God's will. I still can't believe the support I'm getting from people it amazes me and brings me such JOY. There are 2 friends that melted my heart with their support my friends Zach and Mandy are more supportive than any of my friend. I LOVE YOU GUYS! Well anyways the other person I have know a long time and he even asked me questions about what kind of a nun I want to be because they say talking about it is a great thing.

I feel very drain to the Maryknoll community today I finished filling out my application, it's pretty exciting, wait thats a lie it's very exciting :) I love reading about the founder so here's alittle about her :)

Biographical Note

Mollie Rogers,a middle-class young woman from Boston, was one of the handful of Catholics at Smith College in the spring of 1904. A group of Protestant young women being sent off to foreign missions left a lasting impression on her. When she returned to Smith in 1906 as an instructor, she organized a small Catholic mission club. Seeking advice for organizing the mission club, she went to see Father James A. Walsh in Boston. His warm reception led her to begin volunteer work on his new mission magazine, The Field Afar. In 1910, Father Walsh and Father Thomas Frederick Price laid the foundation for the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America. Mollie directed the womens' contingent of the group, and founded the congregation that ultimately became the Foreign Mission Sisters of St. Dominic, or the Maryknoll Sisters.

Decerning the call and support

Well it's past midnight and I just got done watching a movie and I can't sleep right now. Well anyways right now I'm decerning if God is calling me to become a sister and I'm pretty sure thats what I'm called to be. I know I'm not meant to be married I have known that for awhile. To be honest more than 10 years but its so exciting and I smile thinking about this. The more I go through this process, the more I feel like being called. I have 3 orders for sure that I am thinking about Missinary Sisters of the Holy Rosary, Maryknoll and Holy Spirit Missionary Sisters. I know I want to serve the poor, but the question is where God wants me/

Support is amazing in my parish, I can't tell you I am very overwelmed. I'm surprised that people are so happy :) Then tonight I wanted to tell my friend Zach and I'm happy to say that he was very supportive in all of this. I love him :)

Answering the call

I have always had a strong faith in God, sometimes it was tested. But I always knew he would be there for me and prayer was on of the key part of everything. Growing up I would pray alot of the time and I would also pray to Saints, but by fair my favorite saint is Saint Teresa the Little Flower. For some reason I feel like we have a bond they may be stupid because she has been long gone.

Well anyways I don't think anyone reads this, but several years ago when I went to worldyouth day I felt like God was calling me to become a nun and now I'm talking to a few places getting to know them it feels my heart with JOY it's kinda exciting :)...... Last time I got scared, but I feel like GOD is telling me not to be afaraid so I'm gonna keep going on with this. Keep me in your prayers

It's in His hands

I have been thinking alot about what is in God's plan for me and I have been doing alot of praying about what God wants from me. Years ago after one of the World Youth Day's I cam home and thought that my calling was to become a nun. But then I got scared and decided to put it on the backburner. Well now I still feel like he is calling me to do something, maybe it's not to become a nun. But often times we don't want to listen to God. Because it's not what we want, right now I'm praying for God to lead me in the right direction. I think I really need to go on a mission trip to serve people so I know if this is what I should do. Right now I'm gonna leave it in his hands
