I have been really bad at keeping this blog updated; so much has happened since my last post. I had a wonderful opportunity to serve as a chaperonne for the IHS (In His Steps) youth group in my area and the mountains of Georgia (where we went) only made me miss my sisters even more. I cannot wait for the day when I can begin formation.
Just a bit of a recap, I received my formal acceptance from Mother Kathryn and I am just over the moon. It's one thing to know of my acceptance, it's another to actually get the letter in hand with a date to boot! I am accepted as a candidate for the class of August 2012. I just pray that I am able to actually enter this year, I do know though that if I must wait until next year it is because the Lord wills it. I only hope I continue to be open to the graces He bestows on me and continue to grow spiritually.
I have heard from the Mater Ecclesiae foundation and I was not selected for a grant. However, I am able to re-apply (more details will come from them later). It is strange though that I feel this calm and peace about not receiving the grant. I have this trust in the Lord that He will provide for me in His own time. I know this sounds cheesy but as much as I try to worry about the MEFV's decision, I am comforted by my trust in His Divine Providence.
So now it is Sunday February 27th and I am counting down the days until I get to see my sisters and spend my birthday with them. I am so grateful for this opportunity; it has been almost a year since I last saw them, how time flies! I get to speak with Mother Kathryn about the details of my entrance and I am trusting it all in His hands.
In light of what has been going on with me, I found today's gospel to be very fitting. It was another reminder that I needn't worry about when I will enter and how I will manage to pay off my student loans. Right now, my only focus needs to be growing in the virtues, in closeness to our Our Lady and Christ Himself. It is just amazing how the Lord speaks to us when we need to hear Him the most. I pray that I continue to trust in His Providence and continue to lay my worries at His feet.
Please keep my in your prayers as I shall continue to keep you in mine.
In Christ, our Hope
