Two Months and Fifteen Days

Wow!  Time sure has flown by and I cannot believe that I will be entering with the School Sisters of St. Francis in Panhandle, Texas in two and a half months.  The Lord has been so gracious and patient with me as these months have gone by.  I am so excited to be entering but nervous at the same time.  This will be a huge change and now it is suddenly upon me.  Lately, a lot of the older folks in the parish have been asking if I was still sure that I wanted to enter and the answer is already yes.  People are so astounded that I continue to want to pursue the Lord's calling to this very different life than I already have.  I am happy and I am excited!  I am looking forward to entrance.  :)  

So what has been up these last few months...EDGE and Life Teen are officially over.  The last day was quite bittersweet.  I love my teens and my middle school youth, yes even the one's who drive me insane.  They are a wonderful bunch of youth who are so full of God and are so beautiful. They have taught me so much about the Lord and how to trust in Him.  They have also taught me about being spontaneous and that it is ok.  I know that I must leave them now and let someone else bring them closer to Christ!  We are in the process of hiring someone now.  God is so faithful!  

So my mood now is sad but with a joyful heart!  I will miss them dearly but the Lord is in control! The Lord of Love is calling me to Himself how can I not be joyful!
