As most of you know, over the past 7 years I have held various blogs on discerning religious life. I have had a re-direction of thought. Not to say that I don't think that I have a call to religious life, but that I am not sure---and surprisingly, I am okay with this.
After having spent almost 10 years leaning towards religious life, sans the 2 years I dated, I have decided to not discern. To just be...
You may be asking why this change, what made me go from full force future religious to trusting non-discerner. All that I can say is, after several recent conversations with friends, and a very confusing dialogue with God---though admittedly it was a monologue for a good while. I have decided that even though, I know not where my life will go from here, and as scared and confused as that makes me....I know that God is ultimately in control, and when he is ready to show me the next steps, I will be open to understanding and accepting.
This blog is about just that. The journey of a woman, who thought she knew who she was, thought she was following God, and is now at the eternal mercy of the heavenly father.
Come with me, I would love the company.
God Bless you as we continue our Lenten journey!
