The love of God is the strongest driving force on earth. Thousands upon hundreds of thousands have given up their lives, because breath and heartbeat faded into insignificence when compared to knowing Christ. Thousands upon tens of thousands of young girls have walked into cloisters and never walked out, because their youth and liberty were so little to give to the One they loved so much...

All about God. I've been a Catholic since 2002 and am still discerning a religious vocation... although without quite the same youthful enthusiasm as when I began this blog :) I work for Xt3.com, the official social networking site for WYD 2008 and am going to be working 1 day a week as a nurse very soon, which I'm very happy about.
My Saint of the Year, St Thomas Aquinas... Get chosen by a Saint!

Yes, I will.
consider it done. God bless.
You have my prayers. If it's about discernment, this would be about the time that trouble would pour itself double.. you pray, too, and all will be well.
thank you all, seems like things might be working out, according to God's marvellous plan (which is so much more than I could have asked or imagined). As honora said, I guess I should expect trials right now. But I'm walking with God, everything seems to be calming down, there is light at the end of the tunnel... and so many people have been praying for me, I am incredibly blessed. Will let you know what's going on when I know.
May He give you His peace!
You always are in my prayers - even if you are a heretical charismaniac!!!
Pax Tecum
Echoing everybody here, praying away. Everything will be ok, don't worry.
Hi,
Just found your blog, and read a bit, and already feel you a sister to me. The CFR's are close to my heart, too...
PLease know I will add you to my prayers today.
May the Lord make Himself known to you!
My prayers are with you.
But as a doctor, could I suggest that you can't divorce the spirit and the flesh?
I have treated many people with depression...and except in pure depression (i.e. mourning) often there are physical, psychological and spiritual aspects.
I've had people treated with anti depressants who didn't get better until they were able to forgive God.And I've found anemia and low thyroid in patients who I merely thought were suffering from grief.
And for myself, a lot of my depression was from hormone imbalance...something I didn't realize until I couldn't stand my period pain any longer, and was treated.
As for vocations, I was "turned down" by the sisters in the good old days, so became a doc instead. Looking back, I see the rejections that caused me great pain led to better things, such as the opportunity to adopt my sons, or meeting my husband at an age where I had decided I'd never marry....
