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

Being a Saint, Music makes me Happy and dressing modest
Saints, what makes them so different from the rest of us?
I have recenly just started reading about saints, before I only payed attention to certain saint that most people have heard of. For example Saint Teresa the little flower, I have read alot about her and have always found her to be interesting. But then there is Saint Maria Goretti, who to me is an Amazing person. She was raped and stabbed, this young man left her to die. But on her death bed, she forgave him. I'm a relegous person, but I don't know if I could have done the same thing. Or atleast that quick, because it's not easy to forgive who did something terrible to you.
Some people think that saints are perfect, but I don't think are. Knowone is always perfect, I believe the things the do in their lives. Well for me I like to learn about saint and what made them a saint. If anyone knows of an interesting saint please let me know.
I love music for so many different reasons,it makes me feel so much better. Most recent I have been listen to christian music. I can't believe how much it makes me smile and feel so Wonderful. It hard to describe but it's like God is talking to me through this music Wonderful feeling. :)
Maybe it's me, but it seems hard to find modest tops. Everything seems to want to show everything. But I don't, if anyone could help it would be great. :)

Dating and fulfillment in Life
Why should we date?
I wonder that alot sometimes, because of the fact I never have the best luck with men.It has me thinking about many things. If I do find someone, it has to be forever. I will not marry someone, who doesn't have faith in the same God as I do.But I have been wondering alot about what my call in life is.Does God want me to be married. And to teacher my children to be good catholics. Or should I do something else. I just need God to guide me in the right direction. I have been praying for God to guide me where to go and what to do.
What will fulfill me?
I wonder can I live a life being single? That is one thing I struggle with to this day. Ever since I was a very little girl I dreamed of becoming a wife and being a mom.I still want to have it. But sometimes things change, thats how I feel now.I want more to my life than to what it is like now. I want to help people who aren't like me. I have always been drawn to helping people.
